My Fist Boxes.. and it is Obvious.. :>)

Are they still hiring on Border Patrol out on the Rio Grande?

Regards...

Yup, but you know it will not get you out of this mess. Heck the French Foreign Legion might not be enough of an escape.

I think the better option is to begin the barter process. You know a box for a small tool, or dinner, or cakes, or movie passes. And then set up a mass produced run.

I think Mike is really on to something there. That barter process all of a sudden gives quite a lot of leverage

I'm not sure if movie passes.. small tools.. etc. would be an even trade. It took me around 26 hours to run two of those.... grant you I have never done a small box before so some of the time was spent staring and thinking ahead to avoid collisions.

I popped out a Mission coffee talbe in around 32 hours. Neither include finish times which is lengthy as I wait until a coat is completely gassed out before adding another and then a final cure time before allowing the piece to be used. The boxes took almost twice as long to finish with all the nooks... crannies.. twist and turns.

If I did some of these again (I am involved in a computer desk-hutch right now) I would make a run as it does save time considerably over doing individuals. Perhaps next Xmas after the carcass work I promised the First Lady gets completed. When I see day-light.. she throw another requistition in the "to be done" basket. A vicious cyle I tell you... very vicious indeed!
