Enough to do several boxes unless she has planes for me to build her something

.Well, I did screw up a bit.
I never used this stuff with a brush and I created some minor run marks.
But considering this was headed for the trash bin,
it came out good.
I just sorry I didn't pick out a lighter stain.
This is only the first coat and I think I will sand out the few runs and go slower with the 2nd and third coats.
At least it's going to be used and will be very functional.
Where the 7 amp battery goes i'm going to use some small brass hinges and a latch.
I may as well dress it up and put some brass band strips around all the exposed edges.
There were no wood for dividers for the 2nd drawer so I guess that will be used for bigger items and go with the fuel tank that has a built in pump on the side.
If you didn't see the other post on this I had to make the power panel permanently fixed because the wood was so warped.
When I get the SIG built up then i'll sell this CHEAP with the power meter
