day 2 of the stand build

skinning the stand with birch ply, and solid poplar.

dave's favorite part of the tools, the "friggin laser beam"

dave's second most favorite tool, the nail gun, he never trusted me with it :shocked1:

 

[jhale]

the day goes on

steve looking at the tank and stand and imagining all the fun he's going to have transferring everything

the first two pieces of trim are on. we are attaching them with nails and glue, then screws and wood plugs to cover the holes, it will have an old world charm

most of the trim and sides pieces are done

front shot,

steve and dave edge banding the doors, they did a great job helping out!

there, put your finger right there and hold it...

 

[jhale]

almost done with the build, just need the doors and the hood.

measuring for the hood, by now it's been a nine hour HOT day, and I was feeling kind of loopy.

next up is the sanding of the whole thing, staining, sealer, and poly finish.
oh what a fun day it will be oh we have to cut all the holes as well for access.

Very cool. It is like a "making of" movie preview before you have seen the movie.I can't wait to see how it comes out, water and all.

Looking good! Jonathan, I really like that tiny compressor. It's the perfect size for a finish nailer.

You just have to go slow with it, it cycles after about five shots.
