February 12, 201313 yr comment_17090 I have today off, and I am sanding the deck boards to our settee and getting ready to lay down the last coat of finish. I can't wait to get this into our customers home. It looks nice, very nice. It is so cold here, well relatively cold for So CA, it's about 48 here now at 11 am. I am going to have to bring my finish in to our home to warm it up to room temp before I spray. Here are a couple before and after shots of our settee.

February 12, 201313 yr comment_17096 That's coming out sooo nice. Your customer will be very happy.A lot of us here know what your saying about bring stuff indoors so it can warm up to "room temp". In the winter, I keep all my glues, paints etc. in the basement. We try to keep it at least 54* so my wife can be warm when she does her thing and so the pipes don't freeze. I called it a day for any shop work. Too cold out there to get much of anything done.Harry BrinkBulldog WoodworkingMontana Report

February 14, 201313 yr Author comment_17091 Thank you Cliff, that is quite the contrast in those two photos isn't it? Amazing what a lot of elbow grease and a little ingenuity can do.
