Popular Post John B Posted June 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Well, another batch of little boxes finished. These took a little while longer than normal as it has been bloody cold. Single digits at night and maximums in the teens during the day. A maximum of 12 one day.. The good part is I can take my time doing the flocking as the paint takes a lot longer to dry. I'd rather be grizzling about the heat any day. The larger Rose box has a Nyatoh band. The other bands are Jarrah. Scrappile, Wilson142, JimErn and 12 others 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson142 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Really nice. I'm always impressed with your finish. A rushed or botched finish can make or break any project. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring things into the house to dry, too cold in the garage. Marg John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Thank you all for kind comments. I was taught during my apprenticeship, that everything you do is in effect a base for the finish. So the final finish depends upon how well the piece is made and readied for finishing. The polishers would apply the finish, but it was the cabinet maker that had to make it ready as there was noway in hell a Polisher would touch a piece of sandpaper until the first coat ;). They used to say they could put a magnificent finish on a telegraph pole but it would still just be a shiny Telegraph pole, it was up the cabinetmaker to make the pole into something worthy. We used to think they were lazy buggers :), I remember having to go into the polishing shop to get some dings out of a pile of doors that had been dropped. Al it took was some steam and a bit of sanding, but according to the Polishers, it was not their job. ozwood and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
