The one main job of the day was to make an in-fill panel for a small cabinet. It used to have a fake leather top panel that had to go. I had laid up the wooden pieces last night, so I was all primed to make a start. The first step was to mark out, so I grabbed the adjustable square and marked out the cutting line. Just as I prepared to mark the second line it fell to the floor. When I picked it up I knew something wasn’t right. The part holding the scale had broken, rendering the thing useless.
The only option now was to drive up to Dave’s place and use his kit.
It took about fifteen minutes to do everything I needed to do, but then a little voice from the other part of the basement beckoned me.
“Another wheel has broken” sure enough another wheel had failed. So repeating what I did yesterday, I replaced it.
I got back with my bits of wood and applied the stain and oil to the in-fill panel, and set it aside to dry. I also assembled the centre box for the Fifteen bucks project.
