Setback

Today I realized the second cabinet has to be rebuilt. Painting it before it was finished structurally cause the wood to swell and bow, and go out of true. The baffle, which was not yet in place, was now too wide at the top and bottom and too narrow in the middle. Neither the baffle not the cabinet could be planed into shape any more, and no amount of coercion was going to get the baffle to bed into the cab properly. While I could have simply made a new baffle, the bow on the cabinet walls was such that I decided that it would be easier to start anew. Having dismantled the cabinet with a mallet (most satisfying), and looking forward to another three weeks worth of work, while I know that was the right thing to have done, have to say I'm a little despondent about the setback. The mistake was the result of a false economy in time and money.Live and learn I suppose.
