Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2013 Season
#67

Today's progress report:

With many thanks to Phorum member DeckApe, I received the "B'DC'ST - POLICE" decal I needed for the 42-22CL today. So I applied it to the cabinet this afternoon, then gave the cabinet two coats of clear Deft. The result:

I also wet sanded the 38-2670 cabinet and gave it two more coats of clear Deft.

Goal for tomorrow: Wet sand both cabinets again, then give both two final coats of clear Deft.

That will make three cabinets completed so far this season. Icon_biggrin

I think I'll take a break after I finish these two, and assemble the SSTRAN AMT3000 which Debbie gave me for my birthday. I think two and a half months of sitting in the box is long enough for it to wait. Icon_smile Besides, all I have been doing lately is going to work, coming home, working on cabinets, posting my results here, and that's about it. I have other things I need to be doing. I owe one Phorum member and good friend a phone call, plus those 112 labels for Jerry H., and continuing to get new photos ready for the Philco Gallery rebuild... Icon_crazy
