Thanks Greg but no, I'm just an amateur hobbyist trying to do semi-decent work. The true craftsmen are guys like Steve Davis, Russ Webb (Phlogiston), Kenny Richmond, John "Hagstar" Hagman, Fred Taylor, and many others whose names do not come to mind at present...

That very well may be Ron, but take credit where it is due, you do gorgeous work. I can only hope to be able to achieve a level somewhere subpar of what I see you doing. Great job sir.

Well, you are very kind and I thank you.

Folks, I sprayed some more clear on the 41-245 cabinet today and I think it is ready for final rubdown.

Now, about that 66B...it has been sitting for awhile now and...I can still see that darn flaw in the top. I'm thinking about wet sanding and spraying the top again. We'll see. It depends on how I'm feeling.

The weather is about to change here. Next weekend's highs will do well to reach 60. I think between this and my health, this is probably going to be it for this year's cabinet restorations other than spraying clear on my RCA T7-5 if time allows. God willing, in 2019 I hope to take care of the other cabinets I didn't get to this year (the 16B, 91B and 41-KR) as well as some others. I have no shortage of projects, both electronic and cabinet wise.
