more progress




Yesterday I glued 2 sets of 1x2 Oak strips to make the upper and lower hatch rails. Today I cut them to size and adjusted the upper hatch rail to align to the sides. Today I cut the first right rib and then fitted it to fit the profile. then I glued two together to make a heavier outside hatch rail.
I took a look at the original ice box and discovered that it also needed restoring due to many areas being rusted out. I stripped the paint, and filled the many holes and deteriorated area with epoxy putty, then sanded it down prior to adding a couple coats of primer
