August 1, 20196 yr Like Ernie, my tool well became a junk catcher and I filled it in recently. A "Mil" is 0.001" the 4 mil is called the wet mil, and the resulting 1 mil is called the dry mil. Note this is sponsored by Waterlox. I took a class from Ernie 15 or so years ago. His shop is in a barn right across the road from the Boy Scout camp I went to years ago. Now a county park. Amish buggies still trot by on the road. https://www.waterlox.com/project-help/video?id=469e6831b68d431db75d2d4d355a93d1
August 5, 20196 yr Unrelated, I have always wanted a Conover Lathe, they come around sometimes on Ebay or, seems I am always out of cash when they do come available.
August 20, 20196 yr According to his website they sold the barn, and are now located in a new building behind their house.
