Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Did anyone get the license plate number of that truck that ran over me? Man, when I was younger, I would come home from a date at 5 AM, take a shower, and go to work. Funny how things change.

Thanks guys. You know, Bob, as I was sweeping up an area approximately 40 x 40 feet, I had some thoughts that maybe some containment device like you mentioned might be a great idea. That's exactly what I will build the next time, and we will be doing it again on Dons T bucket project in the near future. Your open-ended booth sounds great.

I even tried the gas powered leaf blower my Son has stored at the shop, and it wouldn't move the several inch thick pile of sand. Finally had to break out a big pushbroom, and even with that it was slow going. But I knew if I didn't get it all cleaned up I would catch it from the landlord for doing something like this out there, so I had no choice. Live and learn.

I plan on building a rack today to hold some of the parts while I prime them, maybe tonight. I can't get my gantry outside because of all the moving stuff my Son has stored in the front of the shop, and normally would have hung parts from that. We used it when we painted Dans stuff and it was perfect. I'll just build something quick out of 2 x 4's, I guess.

At least the rear axle assembly looks better than the before pictures below. That part of it feels great, knowing I don't have to lug it to a sandblaster now.
