SANDING AND VARNISHING 4TH OR 5TH COAT CAN'T REMEMBER |
| HERE WE ARE MAKING PATTERNS FOR THE FLOOR TIMBERS . IN THE FORE PICTURE YOU CAN SEE THE HOT GLUED STRIPS CATCHING THE LAPPED PLANKS .IN THE BACKGROUND, IN DAVE'S HAND, YOU CAN SEE THE SOLID DOOR-SKIN PATTERN THAT WE TRACED FROM THE STRIPS AND CUT OUT . FINALLY WE WILL TRACE OUT THAT PATTERN ON TO OUR OAK AND IT SHOULD FIT PERFECTLY !!!!! |  |
