No, no...I meant it AFTER he quits doing veneering.

Kirk,
Don't listen to Mike he's a trouble maker!! and certainly don't give in to veneer's anominess!!!
Buy more and more veneers and lots of glue. I won't tell you why but you can probably guess!

I'll e-mail you a procedure to apply a faux antique finish to Mikes 16B, and beating his cabinet with a bicycle chain will help ease your frustrations

And at the same time send me a procedure to unwind antenna coils

An X-Acto knife is a pretty versatile tool for extreme coil modifications

Send Mike a how-to on waxing so I don't have to keep the cabinet for 6 months while it cures

Kind of a radio Brazilian......

Ok, I have gotten to more veneer repairs today after working on the house all morning.

Only about 8 more patches to go

Kirk

This photo reminds me one of those poor dissected frogs in biology labs.

My veneer repair yesterday failed totally! I forgot to sand the veneer and it had the old finish from the radio I tore it off of on it... Duh!

It came off and I have to scrape and re-glue a new piece on.

Tomorrow I plane the repairs, move on to the rest on the face and then re-attach the face to the frame. Maybe it will dismantle the body to make stripping and Toning easier.... Hmmmmm.....

We shall see!
