There are pies on a carousel. Have a slice.

Bleh. I kind of messed up pretty bad. I needed to re-round a small part of the edge...being lazy, I grabbed the router instead of the sand paper... The router bit started to slide out of the collet and dug into the wood quite a bit deeper than I intended. I patched it up with stainable wood putty. Hopefully it will blend a bit. From my tests with the stain, it blends pretty well...almost imperceptibly well. Erin said it shouldn't be a huge issue. Hopefully that's the last stupid mistake I make on this build. I mounted the jack cup retainer too -- I'm a bit antsy, I guess.

Drill press and poly will come Monday. I'll drill some holes and, as long as everything goes well, dive in and order the remaining parts. I don't see the point in buying them just yet if there's a chance I'll break everything =\ Plus, I'll only lose one shipping day, anyway.
