Ok fixing a non smart tv... that is the definition of tenacious in my book. Congrats.
This grill shell is a reproduction and man it ain't close to smooth.... It's all mudded up and ready for Monday! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707015395.jpghttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707015644.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707015644.jpg |
Is that the grill shell that you primered? I have used "sandable primer" that sprayed very rough and had to be worked smooth.
Looks cool, I'm guessing '32 Ford? Sent from my SM-S916U using Tapatalk |

Will be ordering parts for the upstairs fridge today.
Appears that defrost did not terminate and the heaters stayed on too long. Fridge was not defrosting after even though the heaters (deformed from the overheat) still ohm out ok. Will order the heaters/termination switch and the control board. Most people wouldn't invest $120 in a 24 year old fridge, but I built the kitchen around the fridge. |

I've never considered myself to be a very good carpenter. I'm kind of a hacker. I was thinking maybe watching some YT vids might help.
Found one that seems informative.

She gets my wood working.

Iv been working wood too. Made this seat for my fat bike. The cutout with screen is for the air filter and so mice dont chew into it. Then layered up some foam. The top piece is from an old pickup truck seat cover I like using those because they are heat pleated and padded already and cheap from the junk yard. Then the sides are a stretchy vinyl makes it easier to fit the cover. It came out great probably one of the nicest seats Iv made yet.

Built this charger/battery storage box to keep all my Milwaukee M12 and M18 batteries organized, charged and stored in one place as they tend to get scattered. Got the project idea on YouTube. The struts raise the lid automatically when the latch is opened and keep it from closing when the chargers are weighted down with batteries.
The content provider who came up with this idea added an extension cord to link the chargers together inside the box which was deployed via a hole drilled in the back and its plug was stored in a dummy receptacle on the outside of the box which took up at least one full storage bin in the box. I didn't see the point of doing this. I wrapped the cords together with electrical tape to keep them from tangling and they store easily on top of the batteries. No drilling - no muss - no fuss and Bobs' your uncle. This will get alot of use! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707857489.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1707857489.jpg |

Parts arrived last week and I installed them on Saturday. So far so good. The refrigeration side on this fridge has been flawless. It is why I keep fixing it. One thing I haven't done is replace the icemaker control board. Ice maker still runs fine but the flap to let the ice out of the door is done. That board is too pricey for me to buy into when I can just reach into the freezer and get ice. The board bombed during a power outage/low voltage event a few years back. |
My five year old TLC TV quit, two days before the Superbowl. :rolleyes:
TV works, no LED backlight. I am trying to diagnose it now. There's no power to the LED's, so it's either a failed LED strip or a failed power supply....might be a new TV, might be $50 and some time spent solving it. The latter will be more satisfying. |
I wet sanded rv4 wings yesterday in preparation for honda silver today. Will shoot the silver and clear ppg over aerothane. I shot epoxy primer over the alodined skin. Aerothane is very flexible, it's designed that way from the jump... no flex agents added after the fact. The ppg honda silver is possibly one of the best silvers I've worked with in terms of a finished appearance. Tomorrow I'll be laying out the star and bar mask... oh... also yesterday was a leg day... before work.... boot deep in the parking lot knee and hip deep on the mountain.... almost a perfect day!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1708092769.jpg

Certainly not up to the standards of above posts, but when I stripped down the lawn tractor last fall, I figured I'd better address the rust on the sheet metal. When I had it in primer, the wife suggested (half joking) it should match the New Holland. OK, fine.

I worked on this little Sea Snark today when the sun finally showed up. I removed some big cleats that were on the aft ends, removed a bracket that I think was for a trolling motor and relocated a cleat into the spot where the bracket was. The holes didn't line up so I chose the outermost hole and will fill the other with epoxy and will only have to drill one hole through the stern, this way I will have a cleat at the bow and stern in case I want to tie up to the pier at the cabin. I plan to fill in the holes where the cleats were located, I've seen people use Gorilla Glue for making repairs as it doesn't dissolve the styrofoam under the ABS so I have some clear Gorilla Glue for that. I also want to refurbish the wood rudder. There is a strip of missing material that isn't very deep and I thought I could probably fill it smooth with epoxy and then varnish the heck out of the thing and then seal it up with a waterproof sealer. I still need to wash the sail and wash the hull with some dawn dish detergent and she will be almost ready to sail. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...459b75038a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b8c2c9624.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...07274ec391.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9aafc0f453.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f0adf3fbf4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a26a06614.jpg

Question for those who work with wood concerning the Sea Snark rudder. Aside from making a new one, how would you go about repairing this. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...297f0762ed.jpg

Replace with new plywood. Easier and better in the long run. If a section of plywood delaminates then the remaining is suspect. Perfect template, easy peasy
|
Is that a single layer of the plywood veneer has come off?

I'd try to route a uniform channel, glue in a strip of wood and maybe follow up with a single layer of glass.
Best Les |
Fill it with micro and epoxy then sand the glass then paint
|
Well, I'm limited by tools I guess because I don't have a router. What is "micro"?

Put about 20 coats of ploy on it and let it go.
It ain't perfect but it ain't broke either. But if you you have the time to replace it go for it. |
Thanks for all the suggestions and tips guys I truly appreciate y'all.

One of my dealers brought this over:
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/wmMAA...KI/s-l1600.png LOL, it doesn't have the dildo handle or I wouldn't have touched it. The exact model is not pictured on Google but this one has a hand imprint in a bronze plate that when depressed activates the machine. All mechanical like an old pinball machine, no tubes or transistors. Takes a nickel so it's old. Needed a small coil is all. But no one does this stuff. It's not my main gig. I really don't know how those jukebox guys do it. I tried to fix one and failed. Maybe I should try again. |
