Must dry properly! Will start connecting the wiring to-morrow
Spacer for the switches next on the program!!

Reduced down to 3 ply!! Stained to a darker wood. Will wait till tomorrow before coating with clear polyurethane. At least four coats!

Surface prepared with Spot Putty and sanded! To be sprayed tomorrow!
Connectors fitted and each wire identified fit Pins to upper end of spacer and two locating holes at bottom edge!
