A very fine day. Started out by picking up a few more brass screws for the hinge. Then, we went to the antique store we had visited a few months ago and picked up an old framed picture with wavy glass. Barely big enough but it should work. Then, cut the rabbet deeper on the door just to be sure that the glass cannot touch the dial hands. Then, I had to trim the corners of the rabbet cuts as the router bit makes a curve rather than a square angle. Then, I gave the dial door a good finish sanding with #400 sandpaper. Finally, I put on one coat of boiled linseed oil. That's probably enough. I'll check later today and put on a second coat if necessary. Tomorrow, I plan to give the door 3 coats of paste wax and Friday, I plan to take the dial door and the glass with picture to our local glass store for cutting. Enjoy the slideshow below!
