Pullstart 62,792 #851 Posted October 12, 2020 Mick, sorry for you and yours’ loss! It is never fun, but a great reminder to live life to your best ability! A country song I relate to (happens a lot) is “Life Off My Years” by Lee Brice. There are lines such as “What’s the use of life if you ain’t livin’? You sip your water, I’ll drink my beer.” It’s a reminder to live, laugh and love to the best of your ability! There’s no time to grudge or stay angry, it helps nothing.

Pullstart 62,792 #852 Posted October 12, 2020 I am at my buddy’s house today. He had some flood damage and lost some of his bamboo flooring. He found a near perfect match, except the end tongue and groove is backwards. I plant to build a fence / jig with my skillsaw to fix that on the adjoining pieces. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 4,590 #854 Posted October 12, 2020 Woodwork is not my strong suit, prefer metal in many ways. But I did fit a new door 🚪 in my kitchen over the weekend. Aluminium frame so I had to let the hinges into the door much deeper than usual as I could not cut into the frame. Used a router to cut the pockets for the hinges. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 9,687 #859 Posted October 16, 2020 Yesterday was a busy day..like most of them! Sanded 4 doors for my sons house while enjoying the lake channel view from my shop. Sprayed them with lacquer sanding sealer Re-sanded and re-sprayed them with semi-gloss lacquer. I love the fast drying nature of spraying lacquer! @new2horses @jabelman I Ended the day the day with an hour road trip to pick up a special seat for my a future project of mine.

Pullstart 62,792 #862 Posted October 17, 2020 @oliver2-44 for the Porter Cable? Great view! All the water here is cccccooooooooollllllddddddd! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,687 #863 Posted October 17, 2020 @pullstart yep for the Porter Cable. As Jableman said, one piece of the puzzle at a time. I now have the correct seat, a parts transmission (the one on it is stuck in gear and had a lot of water in it) rear fenders, and a rear hub. A K181 8 hp starter generator engine is on my wish list, but it might stay with the Briggs rope start if the Briggs runs when I get to it. (Actually I have 3 projects I wish I could find K181 starter/generator engines for). In the upper storage loft/room above my shop I have a large box for each of my upcoming projects. I have a notebook/spreadsheet of what I know each project needs (at least the obvious things) While my wife is supportive/tolerant of this hobby, since I'm gradually buying parts for them there is not such a huge expenditure or a lot of boxes in the mail at one that might raise an eyebrow. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,165 #864 Posted October 17, 2020 @oliver2-44 I think I finally completed piecing the puzzle for my 57 bolens. A k181 would be nice in a Porter Cable. The original was the briggs 143302 5 3/4hp if you see one out there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,792 #865 Posted October 17, 2020 Gettin’ my plumber’s crack on today... It’s not very often the mechanicals are upstairs but that’s the way it’s working out here. My FIL will be building a larger drip pan to go under the water heater and wall mounted unit with integrated drain spout if ever need be. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
