After work today, another 5.5 hours got me here:
I started scraping the front while I was giving the stripper time to work.
And, yes, it is on its end.
It works much better than holding tools sideways.
Let gravity work with you. That's what I learned today.
I also began working on the opposite end, too.
The bottom pieces here (and a back piece) may need to be replaced due to water rot.
Luckily, we happen to have some old heart pine boards to use.
More work was done on the hutch, the right side.
I'm undecided about the interior. It was suggested that I strip the shelves but paint the bead board backing. The bead board is going to be almost impossible to strip. We'll see.
And it has so much character.
What seemed impossible a few days ago has now become an addiction. I could work on this all day long. I may have found a new hobby. I've begun eying other pieces in the shed...

I think that hutch is going to be beautiful when you are finished.
Would you kindly spread the word of my holy blog please or simply follow me throughout my tales? I’ll return a favour, by spreading the word about your blog in any way possible. I will also give in a good word about you to the man himself.
Many thanks
Brother Adam.
PS. The Lord himself agrees he has given you much talent
