| My backside needs covering |
Why bother? What you can’t see isn’t going to matter I hear you say. Well, it does especially when you’re as picky as I am. Out of sight, out of mind – no! I’ll know it’s not properly finished then go slowly insane wondering if I should have painted it or not. Nope - no question about it, it’s just gotta be done.
In any case, photographic evidence shows it’s an unsightly backside rather like my own, full of uneven lumps, bumps – a view which should not be imposed on public sensitivities.

| OMG what a dog's dinner! |
A nice bit of thin ply is what’s needed to cover up this dog’s dinner. What luck, there’s enough left over from our last lot of furniture building antics to fit across the back.

| What you need is a nice bit of ply |
Cut to size, stain, wax then buff. I do enjoy a good buffing; it gives the old bingo wings a nice workout.

| Stained, waxed and buffed to perfection |
Carefully fix into place with some small panel pins. As you can see, our leftover ply wasn’t quite large enough for one complete piece so I’ve ended up having to use 2 separate bits to cover the lot.

| Secure with small panel pins |
There. No more ugly backside!
 |
| Ply nicely covers a multitude of sins |
All that’s left to do is paint the ply panel black to match everything else and apply a couple of coats of clear varnish then the unit will be ready for the great reveal.
