But after about 3 1/2 years of not touching this project I'm back at it. [attachment=8216] [attachment=8217] [attachment=8218] [attachment=8219] [attachment=8220] It's amazing and embarrassing how long I have put this off but now I'm excited to get back to it and work towards completing... in about 300 hours of work. Next I've got to fit two more drawers, as well as the lopers on the outside of the top drawer. Then I'll shape the drawer fronts After that I'll shape and build the dovetailed drawers I'll post progress pictures and hopefully some pictures of how I do each step. I'll also see about cleaning up the thread and reposting some of my old pictures.

After a while I'm finally getting back to this project RE: Bombe Secretary (picture heavy) - Peter Tremblay - 02-16-2018 (02-15-2018, 10:42 PM)Tapper Wrote: Photos not showing. Sorry, The only photos that are showing are the most recent. The older photos, which are all of them from the past are hosted on a site that won't let me share them without paying them. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I'll try to figure out how to go back and document the process with pictures that work. That will take some time and I think it will be best to just start a new thread. Stay tuned. RE: Bombe Secretary (picture heavy) - Dave Diaman - 02-16-2018 Peter, there are quite a few makers who finish with shellac and wax. In fact I do sometimes. That is how I finish all my museum pieces and some for collectors. If a piece is an everyday use piece I usually build my finish with shellac and put a satin modern finish as a final protective coat. I can’t believe you started this in 2012. Has it really been that long. It honestly seems like just yesterday.

Thanks for the finishing advice, Dave. It might be a bit premature. At this rate this project won't be finished till the middle of the next decade. I agree. It does seem like yesterday. |
