    DIY powder coating ?

    Also have a look at this video. Haven't looked at the Adendorff kit, but I assume it to be similar to the Harbor Freight kit in the video. They also compare to a pro job.

    Also hung up my clock. Wish there was a little more contrast between clock and wall tiles, but at least the black numbering is very "sharp". Maybe I just need to trim that tiny piece sticking out the back... And found this in my download folder. This was my initial inspiration for my own rope...

    Nerf gun target practice "machine" is basically done. After two coats of sealer and some sanding, I added some black paint. Then I made an attempt at camo. I also had to redrill the holes in the plates to make them move more freely. Then, after assembly, they didn't sound lekker. So I added...

    I saw this some time ago, but I don't smoke meat... I eat it. But it did make me think, with the 480mm diameter, one could easiliy make two small braais by cutting off the ends, but where is the fun in that. I will put some ideas later of what I want to do, but it will be quite "American"

    Daai sou die maklikste gewees het. Maar natuurlik is ek nou weer lus vir sukkel

    O, dan is dit seker waar die roes kol sit. Op een kol, waar ek die spons afgeskil het, was daar n groot kol waar daar nog water vasgevang is (die geyser is wel leeg) en toe wonder ek of hy dan gelek het. Sal later n foto neem en plaas, maar sal kyk of mens n gaatjie ook kan sien.

    Definitely steel. There was some water trapped between tank and insulation that made it rust there. I haven't checked it by grinding or cutting or magnet, but based on rust alone, must be steel.

    Peeled the geyser to make it easier to move around. Actually wasn't as bad asI thought it would be. Cut both sides of the seam with a grinder. Then cut around the edges where there is a bent lip. Peeled off the sheeting that will get used for something else, and then used a screw driver and...

    Does anyone know what wood this is? I made my last awl with this, but have no idea what it is. I think is was treated with something that gives it a strong tar like smell and it is hard enough not to be dented with thumb nail. Lekker heavy also. I plan on using this to make handles for...

    This was me on Wednesday. Looking at a nice, solid piece if braai wood. Thinking it might make a good pen or maybe some more crochet handles, but too short for a wand. Then, this morning, I got this bunch of rosewood trim pieces and the other two, I think, might be teak. I just remember him...

    I have been using a similar setup for sharpening (after doing it upside down on my drill press :ninja:). Did not know that it is an "acceptable" method, but obviously, doing it free hand like this requires practice and experience.

    I'm sure the new braai will be awesome. If I were closer I would have came to help. Even if I only qualify to switch on the kettle.

    I seem to always draw unwanted attention to myself. Like the other day my wife ordered dog food from Takealot, together with other stuff, and had it delivered to the office. I didn't want to carry it from reception to the outside parking (because everyone will see me then), so I caried it two...

    What is that one joke about the Roman numerals? The Roman soldier walks into a bar raises two fingers and says to the barman, "give me five beers"

    I was actually about to reply that I sometimes have difficulty reading analogue clocks. I put one in the garage to help me spend less time there, but I either ignore it, or get the time wrong when just glancing at it.

    Something was not right with this and some of the cracks concerned me. So I sanded it slightly, then put thin superglue that soaked into the cracks and immediately wiped off the excess. I guess the only benifit would be if this thing falls one day. Anyway, after the superglue set, I sanded it...
