2019 RV/Boat

After drying overnight, I gave the tables a final light sanding with 400 grit paper to dull the finish for the final finish application.

The final coat of urethane complete.  Nothing to do now but wait for the paint to dry.

So here it is a day later, Christmas Eve day.  Time for final assembly.
First task is to drill a hole in the drawer front for the pull. A backup block is clamped to the inside of the drawer front to prevent chip-out of the wood where the bit exits.

Install the pull knob.

Locate, mark, and drill pilot holes for the top attachment clips.

Attach the top with clips.  These allow the top to move as the wood swells and contracts with the seasons.

And, ta-da!  Finished.  Plenty of time to attach a bow for Christmas morning.

"His" and "Hers"

So the winter project is complete.  Launch day 2013 for the boat is a mere 17 weeks away.
