What did you do today

[JasenC]

Spent an hour or so trying to coax another project out of the ol' blue Cricket, but he's not singing any more tunes.
His replacement is considerable smaller put welds as well as the old boy did back in the day.
It was the last one on the shelf at HF and it was on sale for $169

I've seen some good reviews on Yutube about those cheap boxes.

Tony

Yeah, HF doesn't only sell junk lol, I watched a number of reviews by welders and they all gave it
It's by far my biggest HF purchase, I pretty much only by poly/painters tarps and angle grinders. I got tired of burning up $80-100 peanut grinders from dust and grit, it's cheaper to just have a couple $12 HF's on hand.

Out again. We have a big family gathering with my wife's cousins and Thier families at the beach where her Grandfather proposed to her Grandmother.
We don't often stay in caravan parks. The sites are a little cramped so we had to adjust the setup. Only one side awning out and the gazebo 90deg to normal covering most of the drop to get a little over the galley.

But the view is so worth it.

Today? I woke up and confirmed book #7 was up on Amazon. Six months for this project.

Tony,

I finished your book last night, it was excellent. Write some more books.

After this work week it was a JD and water followed by a Pendleton with whiskey rocks.

Well, damn. Thanks for letting me know. In the back of every writer's noggin, there's a voice questioning what you're putting on paper and will it be any good?

I've got a few other titles floating around the Amazon jungle. They too get good reviews.

Thanks again,

Shelly and I read it too, while on our trip East.

It filled a few rainy (and not so rainy) nights. I'll write an Amazon review as soon as we get settled after traveling 11 days.

Thanks, and stay safe.

I sprayed some polyacrylic clear finish today. It's always good when your mask matches your sprayer.

Color coordination is always important.

Doh, I gotta work on that...

Bruce:

I don't know if it was you or someone else here that gave me that tip--spraying polyacrylic. But it sure works. I usually do it over oil-based poly (to give the wood a golden tone) and then a couple of spray on water-based coats.

I'll have to get a mask that coordinates with my HF gun too.

Tony,

But it sure works.

Boy, doesn't it? If I had to guess it was Doug Hodder (who has passed on to glory) that told me about it. I don't use it on surfaces that get wet, like counter tops since glasses leave watermarks. But for everything interior it's the best. It's also easy to repair problems, just sand it down and feather out the finish again. I like the satin finish:
