 Results today:

After rough sanding, and routering, there are six boxes of toys ready to be sealed:  143 Toys to be Sealed.  This includes a box of toys back from Dr. G at ICU and miraculously are ready for final spray.  (Note:  Toys were sealed on 11-10-2019 and are now ready for hand-sanding before final finish is applied.)

Four boxes of critters were completed and turned in for packing into cloth bags.

Two boxes of Love Bugs (71+) have wheels installed and are ready to go.  

After final hand sanding, two boxes of toys are ready to be spray finished for next weekend.  (Note:  final finish was applied on 11-9-2019 afternoon, and are now ready for wheel installs.)

Caravans were fitted with wheels (6) here at the TWS.  The trailer hitches and the spare tires will be installed at home.  Final spray finish will then be applied.  Slightly out of order, but still works.  (Note:  Trailer hitches and spare tires and final spray was completed on 11-9-2019 afternoon.)
