New Vino Thread.... Pics & ???s

Got a few supplies worked up.
* A Plastic tray to either catch moisture heading to drain or to hold Beads. Grabbed it @ Walmart $1.50 +/-

* A Bottle of TITEBOND 2 Wood glue. Its weatherproof and FDA safe for indirect contact with food. Which basically means not TOO harmful if swallowed. $3

* Half Pint of Cabot Gloss & Semi Gloss Polyurethane "Clear Coat". They were on clearance from $9 down to 54cents (gloss) and 75 cents (semigloss). Even if I don't use them in this project, I will somewheres else.

* 1x4x4 Red Oak board. This will be for the tray facings. $6 +/-

* 3/16" Oak Dowell Rod. For pegging anything a bisquit won't handle.

* 1/2"X4'X8' AC Plywood. This is cabinet grade plywood with a beautiful one side and a B-grade other side. The B-grade side will go inside the trays and be covered up with Spanish Cedar strips. Retail $25, I got for $4. (Don't ask)



Hoping to get Spanish cedar this Friday or next Friday and possibly a fan and or timer if my budget lets me.

Went to the Woodcraft store over in Mobile, AL which is about 30 mins away for me to get my 3/8" spanish cedar. Well, that was my plan. Needless to say, they don't stock ANY Spanish Cedar that it has to be ordered online.... That and the sales ASSociates were not very helpful; except for one guy who tried to help, but wasn't too sure of himself it seamed, but atleast he tried. So now I have to order it online and pay who knows how much for shipping.
I was going to get my 3/8" today and then once the trays where assembled, go back and get some 3/16" for the lining of the trays. Well, now I am going to have to save up and buy all at once to save on the shipping costs.....

Be warned: If you plan to go to your local Woodcraft Store for Spanish Cedar CALL FIRST and make sure they have them instock. To save yourself the aggrevation and gas all to come up empty handed like I did.

But I did get to go to the local B&M and Grabbed a CAIN Torpedo and a Punch Baron. My girl got me a nice retractable punch too. Enjoyed the Punch in the friday rush hour traffic, pretty decent.

Ordered a few stainless steel drawer pulls a week ago. These are the full stainless style and not polished pewter. That way they should match the front of the Vino quite nicely. My cost was about $3.50ea. That was with my employee discount.



They are a little "deep" but I can make up for it with the tray depth.
