NH’s moniker is the Granite State. Motto ‘Live Free or Die’ (unless the govt passes a law otherwise ).

Granite and trees were big back in the day. Today, it’s more like tech and services down state. Up here it’s a mixed bag of medium to small businesses and government jobs (state, schools, town and county).

Good stuff

 

Do they make anything small? Too bad they don’t do lawn equipment.

 

I don't know what you mean by tapered head but the bottoms are already made so the rivets on most of them sit flush.

I need the lip of the button head to hold the base in place since the rivet head is no longer there.





It's a tried and true method and I see no reason to change it

 

The one in the middle has a 6-71 Detroit engine.

 

Finished the barn cat 6 cable and tested all buried and running getting harder to see them little wires got panel finished and checked and it is done, now time to mov on to the walk in cooler

 

Hoping to convince the skunks under the deck to go sleep elsewhere. 30% vinegar, some Dawn dishwashing soap, peppermint essential oil, and some leftover Lysol laundry sanitizer. Smells worse than the skunks.

 

Did you make that up or is it a recipe from somewhere?

 

You look marvelous

















I need some of those magnifying glasses too. My bifocals just don’t cut it for some things.

 

My wife uses loupes at work. You could up your game to those.

 

Good Luck I just sort of have given up after being sprayed so often .

Now the smell is just different not really that bad.

I am about due in the next few weeks.

 

I’m thinking those might be out of my price range lol

 

Bowl Update:
In the last 24 hours, I have sanded for eight hours. 52 sheets of sandpaper, I now have 12 bowls ready for some hand rubbed dark stain. It feels good to have gotten to this point!
So, here is how it went:
Kutzall Fast Cut Disc
Belt Sander at 80 Grit for tiny shaping
DA 36 grit for removing deep scratches
DA 80 grit for removing the 36
DA 120 for removing the 80
DA 180 for final smoothness.

Tomorrow I will stain them all. Let dry for a few days and then some semi gloss polyurethane. Thanks for following along!

 

You could almost eat out of them!!

 

The grain looks fantastic and I'm sure the stain will bring it out even more. Great job!

 

Now you have your system down I will place my order??

Good job I would never have been able to make even one.

Metal would be a different story.

 

Nice work! I have enjoyed this project.

Looking forward to seeing the final finish -- this is where I have messed up in the past.

There is a ridge beam clad with $65 worth of stain grade lumber (2001 prices) in my living room, it is painted white because I made such a disaster with the stain/polyurethane...

 

They stain quite well. Below is the prototype bowl:

 

These were 16.00

 

Good morning everyone, hope you all have a great and blessed Sunday.
