Snip

I've used "glue chip" patterned glass before in a couple of cabinets and
might go with that again (or at least suggest it to SWMBO), although I
definitely want something you can see through.

Glue Chip is natureally going to block some to most of the view. Antique
glass which is layed on straw during the cooling process adds an old time
look and is available from most any stained glass store. It is basically
clear but has several distortions.


I'm also thinking of using two pencil edged glass shelves in the top
section, so I can put a light puck in the top and have it diffused
throughout the upper section.

Take a look Saturday at the corner cabined I built with the same effect.



These are things that, the piece being for personal consumption, are
subject
to "consultation" ... if you know what I mean.

I'm just having a good time in the shop ... pressure is off, the weather
is
perfect, I can just kick the wheel to keep the new house construction
spinning on track, and the doors are relatively easy to do.

It was wonderful outside today. I put the bottoms in 24 drawers and found
some stiff red and black felt to line the drawers with for $11. The
previous place wanted about $150 for the same amount of felt.




Basically, I'm just trying to take my mind off the F)*$%#$ property taxes
that are due at the end of next month.

Oh, you got those 2 bills too? ;~)


... it's always gotta be something!
