OK speaker holes are cut and the monitor shelf goes in. |

I decided to use a door on the front instead of mounting it permantly. This proved to be the hardest part so far. Not think well, I just sat the door on the base of the cabinet in place and penciled in the hinge screw holes. Big mistake. Once I got it mounted of coarse the door would drag on the base. DOH! OK, so I flipped the door around and put my metal square under the door to lift it off the base while I penciled in the new marks. That turned out better, but if I would do it again, I would raise the door even higher before penciling the hinge screw holes. The door just barely drags even with the screw slots adjusted all the way up. Oh well, live and learn. |

oops, I forgot to attach the two pictures to the above post. |

I put together the control panel and sat back and drank a few cold ones after this. Whew! Major milestone met. |

I realized it was time to go buy wood putty to fill the countersunk holes. I bought some but didn't like the consistency of it. I seemed like it never dried (maybe the humid Houston weather). So, I went back and bought wood filler. I read on the container that it could be sanded down after it dried. That seemed to work much better. I don't know if I bought the wrong kind of wood putty or what. Then the sanding began....What a boring time consuming process....but I remember my thoughts from above "There is no rush, this is on my timeline" :-) |
