Not yet, maybe tomorrow. There will only be 12 nails in it. Everything will be glued together.

Got it yesterday when I went to the post office to drop off packages.

Will do. In the center, there will be a divider/shelf that one can remove along with more things.

Cold weather is making the glue take a long time to cure. Got both battens in, just waiting for the glue to cure. Besides that, my kidneys are killing me. I might have to go in to get checked.

Better late than never right?

















































I am working on the video but the process of video editing is above my head, so it may take a while.

Man that was an awesome day, I Amy of been too tired to express my appreciation last week, but that will go down in the books as an experience of a lifetime, thanks everybody.

Picked up my pirouge from choupique today and spent several hours sanding, planeing, chipping glue,etc. got all the glue off the exterior and sanded down to a beautiful wood grain, plan to putty and prime tomorrow. Will also be installing the hardware to hang it up with and some rope handles.
