What Are You Building Today
Three sides of all four drawers are cut, assembled and bottoms slid into place. The drawers will be left natural, with a clear lacquer finish. Except the drawer fronts, which will be stained to match the box. The box sits atop the drawers for weight, to ensure that they dry flat. Tomorrow I'll cut the fronts to fit and stain them. Not sure what finish I'm going to use on the box, but I think it'll probably be boiled linseed oil, with a top coat of Tried-N-True.

Got the drawer dividers cut, glued and clamped up. I cut the drawer material to height, but a tad bit long and wide. I want to wait until the box cures, then I can un-clamp and measure to fit nice and snug. I have some drawer glide tape coming. This will attach to the bottom of the drawer sides and allow the drawers to slide with minimal friction. The box is too small for mechanical drawer glides.

To be honest, I don't remember what Quake tasted like. I did like Quisp.

The only thing that I don't care for is the three different audio racks. One long rack would look better IMO, but that's a minor quibble.

I wanted to stain the box, inside and out, before the drawer dividers made that almost impossible. I made sure to leave the datos stain free, so that I can get a good glue up on the dividers. Stained the 1/4" ply for the dividers as well. When I cut the dividers to fit, that will give me good unfinished edges for glue. I decided on Espresso. I think I may give it another coat once it dries. That'll require another day before I can get the dividers in, but I think a bit darker is what I'm looking for.

- What are you listening to Part the Third
I bought kd lang and the reclines 'Angel with a Lariat' in 1987, when it came out. I then went back and bought the first album, and have bought every album since. To say I'm a fan would be a giant understatement. Hymns of the 49th parallel is one of my favorites to listen to. I discovered Chris Isaak two years earlier, and I buy every album he releases as well. Still two of my best discoveries.- The analog thread.
I really like the look. Especially when you see it tie in with the Walnut arm board. NICE!- Which Cooking Are You?

They're pretty good. These are Al's. What I like is that you can snug them up, tweak the wood, then clamp tight.- What Are You Building Today
A small box, to house incense for Fitz. It will have 4 drawers. Going to highlight the plywood edges, and stain it all. Carcass is cut, glued and assembled with micro pocket screws.- What Are You Building Today

Prusa Pi. My favorite, after Apple of course. I don't speak your language, but I'm assuming that's some type of 3D printer app?- What are you listening to Part the Third
Sorry, didn't catch that. You got my dander up.- What are you listening to Part the Third
Bob Dylan agrees with me. Have you actually listened to his lyrics? Nobody paints a picture with words any better, as far as I'm concerned. Is there any more recognizable guitar?- What are you listening to Part the Third
IMO, one of the greatest songwriters of our time.
