as most of you know, I suffered quite a serious facial injury a few months ago.

you are very welcome !! polyester resin and epoxy do not play well with aluminum. you will soon experience separation issues which invites corrosion (again). try to find a source for a good quality Zinc Chromate Primer for other areas of your construction. yes - the POR-15 is the wet-out agent and i...

the object of the game is to remove all oxidation from the metal. bottom line is to prepare the metal to prevent ANY future exposure to air and moisture. first smooth it down mechanically with sanders, grinders, media blasting, etc. then with chemicals such as diluted muriatic acid in a spray bottle...

my wife now works for the Amazon Distribution Center in Central Florida and she is adding to the chaos daily LOL LOL. (but brings home a nice paycheck). when I had my 2500 sq.ft. sign shop, I had a person that was solely responsible to ensure all tools were put back in their designated places and to...

good job, Larry. with my broken jaw and other "stuff" still being an issue, I am eating a lot of baked fish in the oven with butter and lemon pepper with a sprinkle of a few herbs and spices. my current diet consists of baked or broiled fish with cheese grits, scrambled eggs with cheese grits, steam...

Firestick ???? Larry - get yourself an old B&W 90 pound TV, balance it on a rickety, wobbly metal TV tray, put a yard of aluminum foil on the rabbit ears and slap the fool out of it when it starts to get fuzzy and the sound drifts in and out....... 4 channels at the most. and early Saturday morning,...

wow - funny that you mention the phone !!! I am building a custom woodworking bench and just last week I mounted my family's very first dial type phone to the side (just for prosperity). yes, the number began with Olympic. To dial, you only used the first two letters and a number = OL6-XXXX . which ...
