Project VV-XII machine

That looks like a machine that was shipped by UPS...

I've gotten a little bit more work done on the machine. Rizbone was very kind to send me a few loose ends that he found in his workshop, including the brake and 3 motor board hold downs. Things have been wild with the return of the fully virtual school year, but I had just enough time to try my hand at a veneer patch. This is my very first attempt, and while the color match isn't great, a little sanding will hopefully make it look presentable when it is stained to match. Thankfully, this is the worst area in need of patching and it is in the back. I need to sort out the little bit of missing trim to the left of the piece, and then the next major project is to rebuild the front corner and begin the refinish. Again this is my first attempt at a project of this scale, so mistakes will be made and I appreciate any and all guidance you all share.

For the missing bit of bead molding, do an internet search for "bead scraper". It's a fairly simple process that allows you to make just about any bead molding you might need.

Thanks Jerry, I'll get a look at that.
