Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#55

Thanks Russ.

I think it is working...

There is some bumpiness here now, but no depressions. I'm hopeful that another session of careful wet sanding will all but take care of the problem area.

As for the rest of the cabinet:

Looking good, I think.

Next weekend is supposed to be much cooler with highs in the 70s...much better for spraying lacquer. I hope to wrap this cabinet up next weekend.

During the coming week, one evening I also hope to get the 41-KR stripped. I am still hopeful that I can get it refinished in the next couple of weeks. It's small so it shouldn't be too difficult. The hard part will be stripping it, regluing it where it has pulled apart in places, filling the cracks that remain and then painting with white lacquer followed by the decal and a few coats of clear lacquer.

And I haven't forgotten the 91B. I have a new wraparound (top/sides) for it, along with a new front panel and bottom trim. The 91B may not get refinished this season since I am facing surgery in the near future (I don't know yet when but am assuming sometime in October). However, if I don't get the 91B refinished this season, hopefully I can do so in 2019.
