Thanks for the nice words from everybody, it's appreciated.
BB1, As to your question, yes, I spray everything. I love the precat lacquer. I spray the stains as well. I won't be posting much more. I'm 65 and retiring in July or maybe August. I'm finishing the job I'm working on. (The kitchen above) and then I have one more Kitchen for a buddy that I'm going to do. After that, who knows...
Here is the current build I'm finishing now, these are 2 units that will be going on each side of a fireplace.
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
