Popular Post steven newman Posted June 12, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Have a road trip this weekend to go to.....about 402 miles one way. A weekend get together of woodworkers. Needed a sign made, like the ones from M.A.S.H. 4077th, to show where we came from.. Had a strip of plywood left over.....instant sign board. Painted it BRIGHT RED. More on that in a moment.. Bought two bags of letters. Not enough time or saw blades to cut them with the scrollsaw... Bought a box of nails.. Letters needed a coat of paint.... "Paint it black"? ( might be a song title in there, somewhere....) Tried them out with the sign board.. "(NEVER work on a Monday..) Every time I'd hit a letter with the spray paint, it wanted to fly away. Finally got an old screwdriver to hold them still...let this mess dry for a while.... Yep...see IF you can spot the mistake.... Town is now known as Bellefontaine....it's original name ( even before OHIO) was BlueJacket's Town. The Shawnee War Chief's town he called home. The High School's colours are Red & Black. Needed a pilot hole drilled, to hang the sign.. All the cordless drills were elsewhere....seemed to do ok.. Needed a countersink made, too.. Might just do. All those tiny nails....too small for my fingers to hold onto, AND hammer them in place. Used a pair of needle nosed pliers. Still managed to bend a few. The only hammer I could find that would really drive those nails..was a 16 oz claw hammer. Later, after things cool off around here, I'll paint a new "J" letter to replace the backwards one. I'll get back to making the doors for the Pantry Cupboard, when I get back home..and NOT on a Monday.... Grandpadave52, Chips N Dust, Fred W.

Yep, cordless, variable speed, adjustable torque, reversing, and never needs a battery charge. steven newman, Dadio, Grandpadave52 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
