I forgot to put nailing behind some interior paneling I was putting back up after a window upgrade project.
When it was all in place I could still see light shining through from outside. My boss is a real AH/ stickler for details, so while he was vacuuming the carpet upstairs, I sprayed some great stuff into the void, and slapped a piece of door trim over the whole thing, and walked away.

Besides some polyurethane, the Ulu is done.
EDIT: HAHA Reilly, what's your address? I'll send you some Orca. We mostly cut carrots with it and works good on spaghetti squash. You know, the traditional uses.

Just finished this outdoor shower not too long ago, as well as my front porch area, and gate to match the shower.
Why an outdoor shower? Why not? Its nice getting naked outside.

The outside shower set up looks really sweet! I've got to get one done in our yard this spring.
Yesterday I dropped some channels into a surfboard bottom. I've been typically making these out of I foam; a fused foam that rips when you hand sand it. When you machine sand it, it comes out cleaner but your control is less (lol) so sometimes things don't work out so well. Working with it is kind of like working with a large rubber erasure.
This is mostly hand work, although I have been able to use a sander to work the channel surfaces out after laying them out with a sureform first to guide me.
End product

I really like brotherbock's work on that oudoor shower. Clean, and just a tight set up.
Glad you all like the channel bottom. The I foam ones get vacuum bagged at EVF.

Clean work BrotherBock. I thought there was a bunch of steel in there too. Good design.
Full Credit.

It has steel welded frame, with flatstock welded to the inside at the depth of the wood. That way you can screw from the back and not see any hardware from the outside.
You can see a similar setup on the back of the gate as well.

for bajaandy:
I really like the final kitchen, a functional combo of the old white appliances nicely standing out with the great wood variations.
Just watched one of those nightmare TV "remodel/facelift expert" shows, and a) anyone, anywhere, who paints over real wood with either white or black should be dovetailed and rabbeted; b) real people cook and eat in real kitchens like yours, where functional access to prep, cooking and storage rely on good, well-planned lighting with minimal "drama" or "staging". Those designers create butt-ugly rooms that beg for another make-over as soon as the new-latest-fetish wears off. After a few rounds of those disasters, most sane folks would love to settle in to a kitchen like yours.

AE, Thank you for the kind words. As noted, the original layout really didn't change much. Goes to show that the tract home designers in the 1970's had it (mostly) right to begin with. (But that window seat, ugh!) All I really did was build new boxes with new doors and drawers and Euro slides and hinges and other little improvements. The addition of the island cabinet really did help define the area as well as add a functional work space. The boy did his own finishing with gel stain and catalyzed lacquer top coat. The island top is finished with mineral oil and melted bee's wax. Since this was the kid's first home, and they're not too flush for new appliances, the old ones remained. I too like the contrast of the wood tones with the white appliances and shuttered windows. It makes for a comfy little kitchen.
