The local PBS station that runs NYW has been begging almost every
available minute for the last month.
Last Saturday they ran a NYW episode covering router basics.
Today is was the gilded mirror which according to the NYW web site was
scheduled for last week.
But based on the begging abuse we have been subjected to, I'll
gratefully take the mirror project.
It at least showed me something I'll never try.

The gilded mirror project was on yesterday up here (ex Adelphia soon to
be Time Warner country). The wood working part looked feasible, at
least after I get a lathe. Applying the gilding looked tricky as all
getout. I saw the gold leaf wrinkling, tearing, floating away and other
bad stuff. The end result looked fantastic, but I had to wonder how
many re do's were done. Norm did admit the gilding was time consuming...

He didn't do all of it. He started the guilding then turned it over to the
professional who said she had 23.5 hours in it. I don't blame him a bit.
