almost done with the build, just need the doors and the hood.

measuring for the hood, by now it's been a nine hour HOT day, and I was feeling kind of loopy.

next up is the sanding of the whole thing, staining, sealer, and poly finish.
oh what a fun day it will be :) oh we have to cut all the holes as well for access.

Looking good! Jonathan, I really like that tiny compressor. It's the perfect size for a finish nailer.

I love that little guy, it's great for on site work.
You just have to go slow with it, it cycles after about five shots.
