Now, that sounds very impressive for five hours of work, you got my 
attention, Brother. Were all of these pieces varnished? If they weren't, 
can you tell us which ones were painted?
      
How do the glue joints and the veneer hold up in a hot tank?
      
How hot is the tank and do you keep it heated 24 hours a day, 
everyday?
      
If not, how long does it take to heat up?
     
 What's your electric bill like?
      
How do you clean the paint & varnish out of a tank, is the bottom 
flat or is it angled like a ramp?
      
How many gallons of stripper does it hold?
      
Is it a special tank stripper, a water rinse stripper? 
It seems like hot MC would evaporate faster.
      
I'm sure there's going to be more questions, but I don't want to 
discourage you, so I'll stop for now.
 
This will be an interesting thread and one that we need to know more about.
