Amazing how much that ospho worked. Brushed first coat on the whole frame Saturday after a brush wheel and scraper. Killed the chit out of the rust. Brush wheel again yesterday, then brushed another gallon of ospho on. Letting it set until Wednesday. Then clean with brush wheel and a heavy Kem Kromic primer coat on the whole frame

My FIL sanded the wheel shafts with Emory paper and pulled all the bearings. Replacing bearings. Brakes still had plenty of life left.

Working on a built in bench. Fitting the parts today and will finish up tomorrow. I fit the bench cap which isn't in the picture. Tomorrow I have to fit the sills which will interface with a rabbet in the back of the bench cap.

I would have had it all done today if the countertop guys had finished up on Friday like they were suppose to. And then needed until 12:30 today to finish up. I actually got up early to get there early only to find out I could have slept until 10am if I wanted to.

And no.... I'm not bitter. :mad:

Packed up all the parts and brought them back to the shop. Glued up the seat part of the bench and the front rail.

Here's the bench mostly complete. I have a little end cap that got glued on after this pic was taken. It'll be a pain in the butt because it's going to be the fragile area of the bench. And until it's put into it's new home it'll have the chance of getting snapped off.


The top caps are just floating there held on by biscuits. They are going to be left loose for the life of the bench since it has electrical and code says they need access to the boxes. Hey, I just do as I'm told. :whistling

There's a lot of hope in this bench :laughing:

I hope I can get it there in one piece in my truck.

I hope I can get it through the doors in the place.

I hope I can slip it down into place without removing any cabinets.

Well the #2 hope has been eliminated. Today I needed to get the bench from the main bay to the spray room. With 2 people it would be easy. Do I have 2 people... ahhh no.

I have this

So I tried to get the bench through the door on a couple of shop carts but I didn't have enough room to swing it.

So I got it back off the shop carts and back onto the horses. And then from the horses down to the floor. I put the tri-wheel mover under the corner of the bench and then lifted it up vertically. And then I tilted it so it was in the shape of a V. It was pretty balanced but still wanted to fall over as it wouldn't self balance. Started to push it forward and lowered the front under the door, kept pushing and then lowered the back under the door and continued on to the sprayroom and laid it down.

And I did it by myself.:whistling

When I did an exploration before bidding I determined the foundation was 8" thick. When trenching the narrowest spot was 5.75' lol

The piers for supports are 8' deep, and if your from Texas you know we are going to have fun with that. Fhere is a reason we don't do basements lol

Very cool little house starting very soon. 2755 living, 4200 under roof. Car lift in the garage, the "observation" deck is actually a shooting deck for large bore riffles. My kinda people.Lol.

Pretty cool house for a 1 bedroom. The island is one of those work station/seating area deals. Lots of beam work. Was a cool project to coordinate design for

My 4th project for them. Did a pool, AustinDB built a deck and outdoor kitchen for me, full remodel and that gate entrance

Its a CT affair - TxElectrician is doing electrical - Paul (AustinDB) the trim and shower/backsplash, and old member Nightscenes is doing the outdoor lighting
