OK, feeling better about the build this morning. There are still issues, but the wood glue has soldified things. Last night I wondered if I was crazy. This morning I know that I am, but also that this will work. I’m still hesitant about permanently attaching things to something else I don’t really have space for, but I’ll make space. Better to have it all together than to have to hunt down bits-and-bobs every project. And I really can’t handle anything that hot sliding around on the desk; that shit needs to be stationary.
OK, next order of business
- Finalize layout
- Permanently adhere pieces
- epoxy?
- countersink bolts for clamp arms
- chisel?
- Reinforce interior of box
- fully waterproof
- Build drawer sides
- foam board?
- balsa?
- bamboo?
- Design aesthetic
- Take pictures
5 minute epoxy
