    Shop time…
    I think this is considered shop time.

    So I made a candlepin bowling ball spinner to resurface my bowling balls.

    IMG_7350.jpg

    Mixing 4,500 psi epoxy and some custom mixed paint I can color the epoxy and fill chips.

    Before

    IMG_7347.jpg

    After

    IMG_7349.jpg

    Then the process of scuffing the ball by doing the progressive
    1000 grit
    2000 grit
    5000 grit
    Spin-A-Rooie.

    IMG_7570.jpg

    Then doing the polish and buff

    IMG_7572.jpg

    Before R and after L

    IMG_7574.jpg

    I was going to send them out for $35 a ball to get reconditioned.
    The problem to make older balls perfect is the diameter will be turned smaller and that could mean the difference between knocking over a pin for a win or have it rock and stay up.

    So the total price of all the stuff I need to do them as well as I need to was $35 dollars.
    I think I’ll just do them myself…

    Good afternoon shop crew, have a great Friday!

    Been busy this morning helping one of my grandma neighbors. Picked up 30 bags of mulch for her then unloaded it and helped spread it in her flowerbeds. This was after I had gotten mulch for my wife. I’m ready for a nap.
