. . . what to say.
A tragedy came to our door today, in the midst of progress on the Diorama. Seems that tragedy stalks this family with a relentless and determined pace.
In the mechanics of such things that were pre-ordained to happen, I submit some pictures of the past 48 hours of work. The unit is stained and ready for clear finish, which is normally very fast.
The turntable finally spins.
Right side.
Spinning another arc for a surprise feature, more structural than decorative.
Assembled.
The upper unit, dry fit for hardware. Immediately disassembled for finishing.
Face door dropped. The arc, to support the upper sides and create a stereographic effect is revealed.
First stained item, the bottom drawer. I looped one of the picture frames around the drawer front for color comparison, it’s pretty close. Once dry, I’ll check and see if it needs more toning,
The top lid masked with tape and ready for finish. Flat black inside, stain outside.
Sorry for the brevity. It was a very productive session.
