Thanks, Rodney. As you can see, part of it is not finished yet. Need to take it out and apply Varithane, 3 coats, hard to do in the winter.
Next act is replacing the couch. I sure envy those folks who have done cork floors. I had to rebuild this one while I was living in it.
Funny story how I got started. Was in the Vegas airport heading home for the weekend (Overlander parked in McCarran parking lot), but Colorado airports closed due to snow. I ran over to Home Depot, bought a ton of birch plywood and solid maple and took off for Edwards AFB and their great wood shop. That night I cut the tub in half and three days later I had converted from twin beds to the double. The office (street side) took a few more months, but that first three-day job was perfect--perfect terror, perfect exhaustion, and perfect outcome. Usually I measure once, cut once, get another piece, cut again. That weekend everything worked.
Come by any time. I get the new Delta 8" jointer tomorrow and the shop is complete (Delta 10" table saw, two band saws, three sanding machine [horizontal, bench, and 24" drum], radial arm, translating 12" mitre saw, router table, shop air, and central vacuum). Hand tools too many to mention--did someone say something about Airstreams = $$ ? Good thing I also build all the cabinets for the house or you-know-who wouldn't be so happy "keeping" me. But no place to paint, so it's either cover up the table saw or go outside.
