Old project finished, NEW one to do.
I FINALLY finished the cradle I started on SEVEN YEARS ago, the roof was a RPITA. So now is the time to COMPLETELY go over my SS. Clean it ALL, lube everything and wax it and get EVERYTHING adjusted. I've been doing those, just knot all at one time. Then on to the tray project.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

Congrats on the completion but some pics would really help all of us enjoy your hard work as well.

Yes, remember if there are no pictures then it didn't happen, a forum rule.

Good job!
You made great use of the grain in the back, by the way.

Very pretty! Nice workmanship! How did you save the parts for 7 years?

Re: Old project finished, NEW one to do.
Thank you all for the kind words. BUT I feel that this project wasn't anywhere near my best. Numerous times I wanted to douse it with paint thinner and toss a match on it. 
The only parts I had to save for years were the 3 roof pieces, one of which I had to replace. I can't believe how MANY HOURS it took to get the roof pieces on.
