Powercat Logo

This cabinet has been particularly difficult to work on due to the humidity levels caused by all the rain. The Red mahogany stain doesn't dry as fast as the other colors due to the high amount of pigment in this stain. This always seems to be an issue with Minwax's Red Mahogany.

All American Day

Today I finished up the routing and engraving work. There is obviously still some work needed to clean up the surface of the wood. The doors also need to be trimmed to their proper width to eliminate the artwork overlap.

Tomorrow is another day for making wood chips! Right now, I'm going in for a cold beer!

All American Day

Tonight I ran the first door for this cabinet. Tomorrow I'll be running the other door and get the next order running.

Weather Related Slow-down

Once again, Mother Nature has spoken. Two days ago we got slammed with very heavy rains with about 3" in less than an hour. We got some water in the basement and my garage wood shop. Nothing was damaged but it has once again left me with a day of vacuuming up the water and another couple days of drying out the floors. The humidity level is higher than normal so finishing the cabinets with stain or poly takes twice as long.

This has been a tough year with all the rain and I wish I could stay on schedule. I'm trying my best to stay on top of orders but I can't rush the process so delays are inevitable due to the circumstances.

I will have some updates tomorrow and I have two cabinets that will ship out. The Greifeld and Brophy cabinets will ship out on Monday.
