    Even with fiddles, the glassware in our cabinets and on shelves would slide around, clinking and clanking with every big wave. So I cut up some 4MM thick anti-slip waffle pattern rubber sheets to fit each shelf and everything just stays where you put it. Easily removed for cleaning and it comes in different colors...🤙

    Don’t bother with the steam iron, it will have very little effect. Instead use thinner strips of wood, over size and trim to width. Also your former should be over size to mitigate the non compliance of the ends of the piece.

      A suggestion, flame bend the tassy oak. As you cramp it run a blow torch on it , works with many woods up to 1/2" thick, self steaming and reduces moisture content so epoxy happier and you can epoxy it sooner. Another thought for the same door is polycarbonate bent with a hot air gun, it then becomes a disply area.

    Hi Roscoe (and Janet), you make a good excellent team and are doing amazing quality work. But I was just buttering you up - I think you may well come to regret shoehorning the compressor into the small void bell the freezer box. As I said in a previous vid, nothing kills a fridge quicker than poor airflow over the condenser. It is fine introducing cooler air in at the bottom but as that air gets warm (across the condenser) and increases in volume it needs to escape from the void or you effectively stall the flow across the condenser. Do you not have any other practical alternative location that will help airflow and make access easier? Keep up the great work.😀👍⛵️
