This is a story that I figured younz would enjoy.
I have my Dads old gun cabinet, the gun cabinet was made by a friend of his named Burdett from Ford City and I can remember like it was yesterday when he brought it home. Made from knotty pine and clear varnished it was beautiful.
This gun cabinet holds six rifles or shotguns in the top compartment with a glass door and has a set of swinging doors on the bottom of the cabinet, for storing ammunition etc. When the fella made it, he made the doors just a tad too narrow, meaning that the doors shrunk a little and would not stay closed.
To make a long story short-yesterday we moved the gun cabinet and had to empty it for moving, this brought the door "to do" job forward to my attention. All it would take to fix this is a strip of pine 1/4" y 3/8" by 13 5/8' length. We had to take the table saw outside to cut this strip and glued and three small nails to hold in place while the glue dried.
Now I am asking if anyone can beat this record.
If my memory serves me right I think it was made in 1954 , talk about procrastination, it needed fixed for fifty five years--that is a record for me putting something off that needed done.
Younz all have a good one, I am.
