Five months later...the saga continues.

It's October and the weather could turn cool at any time, although it is not supposed to this week. So...I decided to try and finish up that 42-788 cabinet.

It still had a lot of fleabites on the left, right, and top back edges. I decided the easiest thing to do was to just fill those small areas with wood filler.

There was one spot where someone forgot to feather in a piece of veneer, so I just filled the spot with wood filler. Look at the upper edge in the photo below. Yes, I know...but this side isn't going to look the greatest anyway, so why not? It will still be better than how it was when I acquired it.

Back edge of the top...

I've been working on this in my spare time during the past week.

This morning, I took it outside and sprayed two coats of sanding sealer on it. The result:

My plan was to do grain filling this afternoon. But it was not to be. After searching for my old used can of grain filler and enlisting The Boss' help, Debbie found it for me. Well, I had not used it since before we moved to this house three years ago!

Anyway, I opened the can...and what little was left was all dried out.

So I've ordered another can which should be here before the end of the week. Right now the forecasters are calling for similar weather next weekend to what we had this weekend, so I should still be able to do the grain filling and spray lacquer.
