Default A Customer in Maui, Hawaii`

Well, this was out of the blue.Â* A customer just gave me the go ahead to
build 6 cabinet doors to receive stained glass.Â* And she lives in Maui.

And strangely enough she gave me the measurements and will be staining
the wood herself.Â* Maple, and she apparently knows how to make that
work.


Where was she last year when I was attempting to match a Fruitwood kind
of stain from existing cabinetry to a wine cabinet I was building for
the kids to match their kitchen cabinets? (Postscript: It turned out
great, got rave reviews from both the kids, their house guests and the
new buyers when they sold the damn condo 6 months after I installed it! )

And she will be drilling the 35mm holes for the Euro hinges.Â* I
was shocked that she understood all of the woodworking terms and has
experience with this type work.

Anyway her daughter lives 3 houses down and she was visiting.Â* So I feel
confident that I will actually collect.Â* ;~)Â* She will be back May 1.


Maybe you could give her a discount if she'd pay for personal delivery!


Some of the products that I have build certainly gets around.Â* About 5
years ago I built a model airplane display cabinet, for use at sales
conventions, for Volga Dnepr Airlines.Â* That display is used world wide
and probably qualifies for frequent flier miles.Â* :~)


I remember that job. Very impressive. Somewhat surprised that it was
only five years ago. Coulda sworn it was longer.
