Well, after a LOT of sanding and finishing; the cabinet is almost done. I need to remove the orange peel from the finish and glue it together. I also plan on rubbing down and polishing the finish so it is shiny instead of glossy.

I’m excited to almost be done! (Also I know there’s no feet… I haven’t had a chance to make them yet. Those will be easy to do later).

Cheers

David

It looks pretty great, and the Triumph that it picked up along the way certainly doesn't hurt. I'm impressed.

Thank you. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I am so glad all the sanding is done... I probably spent about 20-25 hours sanding and finishing the cabinets to get the grain filled.

I will post an update when it is glued back together.

An update on the Triumph re-finish. I buffed it down and polished this afternoon. I am really happy with how it turned out. Now to finish the herzog cabinet!

Cheers
