So far, so good. Looking forward to the progression.

Looking for Part 2 also! Say, is that an inside camera you have located in the window over the sink? Looks like the blind is cut out for it. Very curious as to how that is used. Please post - I think I can learn a lot from your experiences!!

I'm anxious to see the finished product, too!!!!Alfred622 --- that's the knob for opening the louvered window.....

Just the window crank :)Cutting out all the piecesI'll use a copy bit and the old tops as a templatePutting on the edgesRolling out the glueA few pieces doneNew taps from a customerAnd installedWalterModerator edit to re-size pictures to forum limit of 640px maximum width.

Walter makes this look so easy! I could find 1,000 ways to mess this up, but with the right knowledge and tools, it comes out great! Looks like the "copy bit" is a pretty important tool along with a router to do this work. Knowing how to glue on the laminate and trim it post-gluing is also pretty important.

Sure liked this post.. inspiration for those of us with 10 thumbs but a desire to improve our coaches!!
