So what did you do today?

[MustangMike]

I sanded it outside, but did the epoxy in the garage, as rain was predicted (and came a few hours later).

I'm pleased with the way it came out, especially considering I had to "un cup" the two outside boards.

A tip for anyone using the Ultra Clear Epoxy (I learned the hard way). Pour all of it on your wood as fast as you can.

When I was doing the legs, I made enough for both legs, did one and then tried to do the other, but the epoxy was hard already!

When you pour it on the wood table surface, you have more than twice as much time to work with it. Must be a chemical reaction when you leave it in the container.

Very nice table Mike! Got any pics of the underneath?

 

[MustangMike]

No, but I can, seems like there is some interest in that.

I took a pic of the underneath, and tried to make a drawing to scale (roughly 1" = 1' on my paper).

Hope it is helpful, let me know if you have any further questions.

I wrestled around with trying to rebuild a Kohler K301 carburetor which was left for several years with ethanol in it, never did get it to start without a prime. Tomorrow I'll try again since I'm stubborn, maybe I didn't soak it in cleaner long enough....

My friend Pat had a fir tree blow over on his shop yesterday. Today my friend Matt brought his skid-steer over and we worked it up.

Took the Grandsons (10 + 12) to the archery range, they were dying to shoot a dinosaur!

Running low on something to do so I pulled apart an old Homelite XL to see why it's not running but will start on a prime. While apart I thought I'd pressure test it and try a different carburetor but I think I may have found a problem: I couldn't find a hole for the impulse under the carburetor so I also will change the reed block with one with a cleared pulse hole...

Well that was easy! What are you going to do tomorrow?

Went to local dealer trying to find old Tillotson parts. Couldn't find them in his catalogs, I gave him the Tillotson part numbers, still couldn't find them. He told me to do something I was trying to avoid.......order them myself on line.

I guess you cannot support brick & mortar all the time.

Cut this soft maple out of my sister's yard.

Took 2 loads of firewood out of this Aussie Yellow Box today, the farmer had set fire to its base and then pushed it over with an excavator.
Very heavy dense timber.

That was solid for a Maple.

I thought the same thing. The top had some big limbs that had broke out and was rotted. I was expecting it to be hollow.
