Kirk,

Thanks for the compliments.

We don’t live too far apart LOL Icon_biggrin and I know you have one waiting.

I need to get through mine first. Right now my head is spinning trying to figure out how to finish it off. I like the gloss look, but was it really glossy when new? Then there is the fact that I don’t have the fancy orbital sander yet, so now what? Icon_crazy

Don’t get too much in Kutztown Icon_biggrin
Tony
