Office Update

I know what you are thinking. It doesn't look any different than before. In some aspect I will agree with you but if you look at the edge of the work surface you will notice the Formica is attached. Ok so no big deal... or is it?

Think about it, this is the first time I have worked with Formica and it had to be right the first time. That contact cement is one shot only. Routing the edges flush with the top and bottom surface was a little un-nerving but not too bad once I got the hang of it. The only problem was in the corner of the surface where the router could not get to. This I used a smooth bottom bit in the router and hand cut it to where I could file the edge flush.

So I could have gotten further but I had two things working against me. First was the loss or our Golden Retriever on Tuesday. With Evelyn in Maryland for the grand-baby, I just spent Wednesday on the couch with Sniper our Australian Shepherd. The second work block was the weather. So what does the weather have to do with work inside. You see, that's just it. Nothing!

The sky was clear all week and the temps finally got up to where I could get out on the Harley for the first time this year.

Ok, so I am making excuses for not getting the laminate on the work surface but you know what?

It is what it is!
