Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

That was nice of him, also nice of you to get him something to let him know you’re thankful

 

Oilite bronze is cool stuff. Used to be look that up on wiki and it told more about inventor and first uses or so I thought. Now it just mentions used by Chrysler in 1931. Neat when you machine it the oil will seep out a little. The shop has several different diameter pieces of the stuff. It keeps my windmill in line with the wind or let's it pivot I should say.

 

I wondered if I could buy the round stock and make it cheaper. There are 16 pieces in this kit, 2 different diameters and I got it shipped to me in 2 days for $80. Doubtful I could buy the 1” stock and make it in that much time. Not to mention I’m a dummy with a lathe not a machinist, so they might not be...accurate

 

Two saddles on the grill

 

Four more saddles just hit the grill

 

Dang left grill full of saddles now 5

 

@Fargo Taco hows that cross country skiing going?

 

That’s crazy!

 

$5.00 a piece thats not bad. Sometimes making a part yourself is more work than it's worth when you can purchase them.

 

2nd coat on!

 

Looking great

 

Thanks! I’ll try and get some trim next week and wrap this project up

 

Delta Stinger leg

 

I was caulking this morning, getting ready for second coat on my screen back porch. Happy painting!

 

Ran out of paint, went and got more and when I came back I thought I’d just go ahead and start putting the trim up and deal with painting the rest in the morning.

That looks really good, I too was skeptical about the darkness, but it fits!



And if anyone is looking for an awesome exterior caulk/sealant. After this project, I’m completely sold on this Big Stretch. It’s no joke! And it even was available in a pine green which almost matches the paint perfectly.

 

Going simple tonight. S&P is the choice for me! Ribeye and backstrap. Might even let the family have some

 

Chicken coup is all done, maybe I’ll get to paint tomorrow instead

 

Looking good Greg!
