    I'm going to start building a Cajun for my brothers DJ and karaoke business. This could be interesting. For all of you who does not know what a cajun is, like myself. It is a hand drum of some sorts. I hope my spelling is correct for this instrument. I'll post pics when I get done.

    I was using Johnson's Paste Wax to lube my drawer slide on my new shop cabinets. I was just going to paint them, but I got some on the face. Well it looked pretty good so I done the entire cabinet. I hope I haven't messed up. I usually only use that on my table saw. Any advice. Thanks
