[QUOTE="Gillespie, post: 201493, member: 3676"]So! Yesterday I put the last coat of urethane on the shelves. As well as the second coat inside the cupboard/cabinets. Then today I scrubbed the backside of the hutch. Raw wood, never painted and extremely dirty! Just pinsol warm water and a rag, and they cleaned up nicely. This evening it got a coat of urethane on the backside. But I left a small section varnish free, where I intend to hand paint on a bit of historical info. Even if it will be against the back of a wall and unseen. Then it will get a matching layer of urethane to match and seal it. Tomorrow around 3 I think I may have got a few people onboard with helping me drink a couple beers. "And hopefully even move a hutch" So I plan to lay it on its backside in the morning, so I can brush a layer of urethane on the top panel that faces the ceiling. As well as the bottom panel faceing the floor. I've went this far... might as well get those areas as well. It is old wood and all. I stood on top of 4 car tires to take a picture of the top. You can see the temporary handles we had used to move it this far. As well as what small amount of new plywood structure is used in the hutch. It has an equal amount of plywood in the bottom. But a person can't see it, and it keeps the piece strong and was necessary in making the whole unit square to begin with. Also added a pic of me standing beside it trying to reach the top, to give it some perspective of size. By this time tomorrow I should be able to post a picture of it inside our house, next two our wood stove where I'm thinking it is going to look amazing I should almost take a few photos with a real camera at that point Cheers - [ATTACH=full]57735[/ATTACH] - [ATTACH=full]57736[/ATTACH]- [ATTACH=full]57737[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
