OurWorkbench

Cheryl & Chris

Chris continued his work on a machine that he was re-wiring last month. He did some additional work on the old and worn carrying case, that I'm sure everyone will agree produced a stunning improvement. He tells us:

When last we left our Dynamic, the electrical had been redone, making it safe for actual use.

Next up was making the case look half as good as the machine head (because, as you can see in the first three picture, it wasn't close).








The plan:

Strip off the old covering (looks like textured wall paper)
Sand the box smooth
Apply filler - so it's actually smooth
Apply a layer of shellac for a consistent surface
Wrap the whole thing in self-stick vinyl wall paper

The reality:
Stripping off the old covering was easy. You can see the result in picture 4. That wood screams "cover me up!"
