Well I had to do a lil brush swingin today ...after doing the boss,s Honey Do list. But I got the Honey Do Chores Done in a jiffy
and snuck back to the Tear before she had me do more.. :lol: :lol:


So I rewaxed the countertop and did some staining ... and while that was a drying I worked on the front box today.. Oh I did succeed in cutting the
aluminum.. ;)

Here are a few pics..

Looking Goooooooooood, :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:
Seems like when you're trying to get your teardrop done, teardrop time seems to go twice as fast as actual time. :lol:
We sure noticed that around here. The harder you work the faster the time goes. :lol:

I noticed that this evening .. but its almost like I didnt want to stop.... :lol:
Ive got the other shelves in the garage if you can call it that.. :lol:
All varnished and waxed...same with the box cover..which is all sealed up.

The wife had me do some chores for her so had to get them done ..got to be diplomatic with the Boss.. :lol: After the wife saw the shine on the counter ... she said she may not want to cut a sink hole in it..UGH.. :roll:

But ok another Teardrop Day... ;)

I really like it. You do some mighty fine work. Give your self a big pat on the back for me as I can not afford to fly there to do it myself.

Thanks.

Greetings Classic Finn,

First of all hello; secondly, that's a very beautiful teardrop you're building. :)

How about some Pocket Hole Plugs?

Yep. Pocket hole plugs or get some doweling and cut your own. The holes in the back of your cabinet won't really show up as anything but good craftsmanship.

Heikki, The counter is looking great. But you wiring under it seem to need some attention. :lol:

Yeah, I can't figure out whether it's more of a shock, tripping or choking hazard. :lol:
