A Customer in Maui, Hawaii`
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! ) 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.

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

Very impressive. Somewhat surprised that it was only five years ago. Coulda sworn it was longer. |

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. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- www.mikedrums.com |

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. Sonny |
