Title: Challenge Build - Pawn Shop and Liquor Store
Post by: jrmueller on October 03, 2016, 07:23:13 PM
Finally underway after some unscheduled delays.  I usually unpack all the materials to see what I am dealing with in terms of the various materials.  I have to admit that I initially don't read all the instructions; usually I skim to see if there is anything unusual.  More to follow in a day or two.  As you can see, I need to clean up some work space.

OK here we go finally.  The first thing I do is identify the pieces that require bracing.  Then I use the sanding jig I got from MicoMark to square up the edges. Next I glue the bracing using Titebond III that has proved to be my glue of choice with wood pieces.  I make sure the bracing is square with the edgies.  Each pieces is weight to prevent warping.  There are lots to brace so I'll be back later.

Believe it or not but I have made some progress.  It just seems so many things get in the way.  Thanks for "giving me a nudge."  Jim
