I did not have all day like yesterday, so I decided to work on the back panel

Looks crappy, but with a little sandpaper it will look a lot better.

First coat of Rustoleum textured black spray paint.

Another shot of textured paint.

After sanding painted side, I doused the edges in Minwax wood hardener.

I am fixing control panel wood edges with the minwax liquid wood.

After this dries, I will shape edges to perfect squares. I am determined to fix every crappy wooden edge to be perfect. I will not cut any corners (no pun intended) to make this machine look like brand new when I am finished. Stay tuned for more  :)

ChadTower:

Awesome.  Looks like our run on Donkey Kong is over and a run on Punch Out has begun.  I approve!

Another day of sanding.... yay

Right now I am thinking I should have used paint stripper : )

I put some citristip on to help with a few of the layers of paint.

After a couple hours....side two finished

Now I just have the front left to sand, then I will add wood hardener and bondo to all crappy edges : )

Here's a picture of my brother (on left) helping me carry the cabinet into my basement.

People with garages are lucky.

Working the back and the biceps  ;)

This is geting to be an easy process lol !

Hernia central along with a back disc pull yay!  ;D

ChadTower:

Forget garages... people with someone willing to help are lucky!  I'd be doing that by myself with a hand truck.  I have the exact same basement bulkhead.  Same basement windows, too.  I really need to replace mine.
