Gearing up

I had fun shopping last week. I did my research and bought a new berth light with a xenon bulb. We need to replace all the berth lights (they have those ugly plastic covered ones), but I wanted to see if I like this one before I buy a bunch and discover I don't like them. I didn't use the xenon bulb, but went with an LED one instead. Then I bought a pair of Sensibulb LED replacements for the cabin lights. Again only a pair to see how well they work. If they are good then they will all be replaced.
Next I bought (well this one I had to beg Michael for) was a Pres-N-Snap tool along with 100 SS snaps. I need to make covers for the top deck goods and wanted to have a tool that would make it easier than a hammer. I will keep you posted on how well it works.
I also bought cane and spline to replace the ugly dirty cane that was in the cabinet doors. I bought one with stars instead. To tell you the truth, I don't know if I like it or not... I will have to finish one and find out. This will be my first time doing any caning. I won't be doing that though, until the door is sanded and revarnished. Yeah, more varnishing!
The last thing I have to order right now anyway are a set of hinges for the above cabinet doors. I have one set already, but they aren't the right depth. So off to order another set at $20 a pair. What's the saying BOAT - break out another thousand. Yup, working on that.
