well its time for another update. yesterday i pulled everything out from the right side and made such a mess on the left ........the car couldn't get in that night lol. the blue cabinet needed painting inside and i took off its warped and mouldy base but i think its all good now and in the right place. the sander is all together but the table is way off 90 so im trying to fix that but its not easy may have to give Carba-Tec a call. the pine table and couches are up the back and im happy with where they are but latter im going to swap the table and the rear couch to see what it will be like. there is still a huge mess where the car should be so it has to stay out side for another night. got a few other things together to make a neet handle for the pen mill and some turned nobs for the cabinets so they will be the first to be made when everything is ready. now for some pic's
hope this will be done soon its all looking good and much better than it was a month agohappy turning
