It’s been a busy summer. I spent more time sailing this year than ever before and I had a commissioned set of tables to make so working in between, here and there, it’s hard to say how long but I started back in June. Maybe sixty or seventy hours but that’s really a guess. I’m not going to keep track of this one. :-)
That’s not a bad idea Mike! I will need LOTS of black mastic here. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can get it fine enough. The rule is 220 grit sanding dust, particularly for thick veneer that is relatively closely fitted.
I will give it some thought though. I probably have fifty dollars worth of scrap there.
