Put the first of three coats of hand-rubbed oil finish on the tool chest. Holy COW! I had no idea that it was going to look the way it does. I’m very, very pleased at the results, but I’m beginning to realize how silly this thing is going to look hanging in my garage. It’s going to be way too nice.

A retired Spanish shoemaker who was officially the world’s oldest man has died at his home at the age of 114, his family said on Saturday.
The Guinness World Records recognized Joan Riudavets Moll as the world’s oldest man following the death of Japan’s Yukichi Chuganji, also 114, in September. Riudavets, who attributed his longevity to a life of moderation, was born on Dec. 15, 1889 — the year Adolf Hitler and Charlie Chaplin were born and the year the Eiffel Tower was completed.
He had been retired for half a century.
Got another 9 hours in the shop today. Got the doors built and installed, plugs done, corners made and routed/sanded, and the whole thing sanded. Tomorrow got a little more sanding to do and then the finish begins! It’ll take about a week to put all three coats of Danish Oil Finish on the piece. I’ll have pics as soon as I mount it on the wall.
