Nearing the home strait

 The carcass of the window seat is now finished and painted. The Gorse Fox will examine it again to see if it needs a further coat of paint, but at the moment it's looking pretty good.

Originally he hadn't intended to paint the inside, but decided, in the end, that it would be better painted. Also, being white, it would be easier to see what inside.

The doors for the front of the windows seat have also reached the home stretch. The flat panels have been dressed with astragal mouldings and a thin MDF panel to appear like a raised panel door. Now that they are painted they are looking pretty fine.

The last major task, for later in the week when the new hinges arrive, is to rehang the doors. Then it'll just be a matter of getting the whole kit and caboodle across to Urban-Cub and Pistol Pete.

By the way, those hinges on the lid are perfect. They help raise the lid when opening, lock it open, then slow the descent when closing so that fingers can't really get caught in it.
