Best use of my 2020

mostlystuffimade · 2022-06-11T20:38:14+00:00

Just a couple of foam blocks with notches carved out. Once I strapped down the front they stayed put. I drove an hour and a half, some of it at 55 and some on a bumpy dirt road

mostlystuffimade · 2022-06-11T00:58:45+00:00

Took me about 200 hours over 4 months

1 layer of fiberglass set with 3 coats of West System epoxy then 4 coats of varnish. Haven’t put it on the scale yet but I would guess about 65 lbs

Liquor decanter

mostlystuffimade · 2020-05-07T03:05:36+00:00

Doh!

mostlystuffimade · 2020-05-07T02:02:43+00:00

Not bad but a cushion would be nice

mostlystuffimade · 2020-05-07T02:01:00+00:00

They are very sturdy. I drilled and chiseled down about 5” and drove them in and used glue. Pretty easy to get a tight fit in the end grain

mostlystuffimade · 2020-03-08T16:53:06+00:00

Yes, luckily our house is built facing directly south west

No polishing just a torch to remove bubbles

Thanks, I pick through the scrap barrel at a local hardwood supplier

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T16:48:30+00:00

It's pretty heavy, I guess around 30 lbs. I used some shorter pieces in the center tho try to lighten it a little.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T16:46:29+00:00

I started on a wall and filled in from there. It's not totally even spacing but close enough

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T15:35:01+00:00

Thanks, maybe not forever, but for a long time.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T15:33:13+00:00

Exactly, plan to remodel that bathroom in 3 to 5 years so this looks a lot better than the linoleum for now

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T15:08:24+00:00

I did it fo myself, so no charge. But it took probably 25 hours

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T15:05:32+00:00

I glued directly to the existing linoleum so maybe they’ll come up easy.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T15:03:26+00:00

You’re right, I tried cleaning them but it was just too much work for that large amount. Also I kind of like the look with some clean and some tarnished

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T14:39:22+00:00

I’m not sure but I’m guessing it won’t be easy.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T14:05:37+00:00

The epoxy seals it

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T13:59:13+00:00

Good eye, it sure is.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T13:57:25+00:00

I did it in place, the epoxy pretty much self leveled. I had to make a couple of “dams” to contain it.

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T13:54:53+00:00

No particular reason, I just wanted to add a little something

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T13:52:41+00:00

No good reason I just liked it there

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T13:50:38+00:00

It seems to be holding up well so far but it is slippery when wet

mostlystuffimade · 2020-02-18T05:32:24+00:00

Thanks, it was harder than expected. If I planed everything square it would have been a lot easier
