Thanks all! This has been about the most enjoyment I’ve gotten out of remodeling my house for the past 2 years. All the other stuff has been drywall, paint, floors, scraping ceilings...Ouch, but just part of the hobby. Bet you learned not to do that again! Your work is looking good.
The Knack is strong with this one!
With the hinged lid, I’m gonna do 4 feet of beadboard on the wall behind it with a mantle with coat hooks on top. Putting polyurethane on the bench seats this weekend. I should have the hinged bench painted by this weekend too.
