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

And strangely enough she gave me the measurements and will be staining
the wood herself. Maple, and she apparently knows how to make that
work. And she will be drilling the 35mm holes for the Euro hinges. 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. So I feel
confident that I will actually collect. ;~) She will be back May 1.

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

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! ;))

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

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

If you are going to deliver them, be sure you get enough to cover the
bridge toll.

Very cool! You should probably barter for housing and a tour guide
during a trip to the islands.
Non-natives get charged a lot more over there. A local friend could
really save you some money.

She will be back in May and will probably UPS them herself.

A tag team a project! In partial payment, ask her to please send pics of the finished windows. Not putting YOU off, as we already know of your good work, we wanna see her good work, too. I'm wondering if they will have a Hawaiian theme.
