Great show guys as always!!!
Interesting video above with the hidden drawer.
When I think of a hidden drawer, or compartment, I usually think of the more romantic items hidden, like a secret diary, or lost love letters from generations past.
Don’t usually think of an AK47… 🙂 LOL
Thanks for the advice on filling cracks. I actually used your suggestion in an email to me to fill the cracks with CS glue. At first I was hesitant when I saw what the surface looked like after the glue dried but fortunately it sanded out and looked great in the end. The table top looks great and there is no indication that there were any small cracks in the wood.
As always, I appreciate your help and advice. Keep up the great work.
Where are the photos Shannon took at the Cemetery?
