Movin forward...
Installed, leveled and waxed the slate. The purpose of the wax is to fill the bolt holes and smooth the seams between the slate pieces.
The levelling of the slate went more smoothly than expected. It took less that an hour to install and level.
The application of the wax took a lot longer than expected - closer to 1.5 hours. It took a while to master the melting, cooling, and trimming of the wax to get a smooth surface. But it was fun since we got to play with a blow torch (fire! fire!).
The entire process took about 2.5 hours. Not too bad for beginners.
Next step - stretching the felt.
The "finished" product - ready for the felt!
