Wow, wonder what the postage for one of them from the States would be! I can only say if I made one Esher would probably use it for inspiration! Lovely cabinet.

Sorry, Mario, the pretty lil miss comes first, right?
She's a keeper, so I gotta make it happen, bunker time real soon, Ma Brotha!Simon, you can do this too, btw, ya just need the right tools, and I'm acutally missing a few, lol. I also love to make sawdust as a side hobby, btw. This comes from years of beating myself to death working construction before I became a "Professional Rugby Player", no pun intended, honestly. They run, we Ruck Over, cause Everyone knows football is for whimps!

Steve, nah even with the best tools in the world my best effort would come under the classification of "Bodge job", I think in my case it's genetic!
Great job as a Pro Rugby Player, I just played in the Army and second or third team at local level, with duties, exercises and deployment I couldn't guarantee to make it to every training session or game. Still I enjoyed a good run out and the opportunity for legal violence, well I was a prop!

Hey, Simon, remember, a good carpenter knows how to hide his mistakes, HA! And then there's the old sayin, "It's cheaper to learn on someone elses material", or "I cut it three times and it's still too short." I suffer all those misgivings,
I was left prop when stationed in Panama back in '86, and we played against the crew of the HMS Hermoine (what a crazy bunch a Brits, HA!) when they came through the canal. Yes, legal violance and brutality all wrapped up in a gentleman's sport, with a cold pint after. I really do love that game, and those 1" rounded spikes on the shoes, HA! 22yrs. USBP, retired, Professional Rugby Player, "they run, we ruck over." It was a stretch on the pun, but the action was definitely the same, trust me!
P.S. I was never in better shape than when I was playing Rugby, love it!
Thank you, Ken!Great work on the figures and cabinet Steve! Both coming along nicely!

Yes the action was the same, well I think it was, rucking and mauling and being under the pile when scrums collapsed. My neck still doesn't have a full range of movement and I stopped playing 30 years ago.

The glass is in and the final top coat of Tung Oil is drying until Monday morning. Red Oak stained with Minwax Early American and sealed with Tung Oil.
Now it’s time to get back to the bunker and crank up the heat as I prep the oil palette.
