Hello again. Here are a few updated pictures of the framing. The first pictures shows the treads completed. I cut 2 inch treads on the bottom to go in front of the tires. It completes the look and from 20 feet away you can't really tell. [ATTACH]13657[/ATTACH] the next series of pictures is from the...

I like the idea of making my own cabinets. I actually have a very nice set of bits from Rockler designed for the inlay on cabinets, still new and sealed in the waxy plastic. I may tackle that but my wife would not be so forgiving as to let me stretch it out over 4 years. She wants things done now, n...

It is supposed to be 90 here most of the week. I don't feel like working outside on my float at all in this heat. For the love of God, cool down so I can finish it.

That is all

Hello all, Thanks for the comments. I will keep posting pictures as I go along. The treads for the tank were described in the first post but to make it a little clearer, they came from the centers of giant wire spools.

Thanks for the replies all. The hinges are funny shaped because they are supposed to look like the old wrought iron hinges you would see on a fence, long skinny triangles. The pulls on the other hand can be covered up with new ones. So I have a few holes which will need filled, not a big deal. I wil...

I planned on using a wood primer (oil base) and then topping it with an acrylic latex, which I am assuming at this point will be white but whatever the wife decides is good enough for me. Any suggestions on the brand of TSP to use? I have seen alot of them out there and don't know if one is better t...

Hello All, So I have a project I want to complete for the wife. Our kitchen needs some upgrades but budget is restricting buying new cabinets yet. So the option is to maybe refinish the old ones, depending on how hard the process is. The cabinets we have are from the 50s or 60s. They are solid 3/4&q...

[quote="JPG40504"]About as pointless as the "who shall be last" thread!:D

P.S. Dusty is right! Be more patient(or get better at remembering]

Pointless but entertaining

I like my thread thank you very much
