Very nice!Finished up the $5 Rail Anvil, sawed off the torched side, added (4) 5/8 mounting holes, cleaned up the torch cut hole that was in it, polished all 4 sides and finally added a coat of paint. Nice budget friendly 6-1/2” chunk, perfect for some cold work.

Who's keel guard did you go with? In the bass boat world, the "Hamby's" is the "one" but the better version, they sell 2, is only available through dealers for installation. Keel guard is on the list...More boat prep for the upcoming cooler weather.
Keel guard install:
1. Tape off
2. Scuff the surface
3. Clean with Isopropyl
4. Use Primer
5. Install keel guard
I'm also working on a rail anvil. Just for a data point, I used a horizontal band saw with a well-used bimetal blade running dry. The blade held up just fine.
Cut like butter, surprisingly more difficult to polish. I’ve whacked it a few times sitting on my roll cabinet, very sound.
I went with the Megaware KeelGuard. The decision was between the Megaware Keelguard and the Hamby, but I wasnt going to pay somebody else to do it. I read a lot of good things about the Megaware Keelguard, particularly with the new adhesive and primer, so I went with it.
The bandsaw made cutting it look pretty easy. I'm working on giving it something of a horn and heel, and boy howdy, the 7 inch right angle grinder and cut off wheel took waaaaay longer to cut the parts that the bandsaw can't reach. Grinding after cutting is even more painfully slow. I'm thinking of trying to do the rest mostly with my POS mill-drill, but I don't like the idea of making that many tiny slivers in the garage where they could get in the dog's feet.
Yeah... So... The power supply creates more heat than I remembered, so I threw a 60mm exhaust fan on it. Unfortunately, the only one I have is a delta screamer and the box now sounds like a blow dryer.Had to troubleshoot a flicker in the house LEDs. Found a bad crimp on one of the connections.
Then I finished the inflatable power supply, followed by wiring up the 3 halloween inflatables.
The power supply is a 12v30a. I have dedicated 3a fuses on each inflatable in case something shorts. I have 12 outputs. Most of these inflatables barely draw half amp when running, so the ps should never even get warm.
Now I'm cleaning the shop again. I'm really trying to keep it clean now.
Your PS uses the same enclosure I used for the controls on my Franken-drill press!Had to troubleshoot a flicker in the house LEDs. Found a bad crimp on one of the connections.

I'm not sure $40 is cheap, but yeah... It works.Your PS uses the same enclosure I used for the controls on my Franken-drill press!
Coincidence--or cheap minds thinking alike?
Yes, for what it is, $40 is cheap. I've paid a hell of a lot more for less of an enclosure.
That's true.
I'd say you got your money's worth out of those pads.Time to start using a little black book like I do for everything else on what I done to the fleet at such and such time.
musta only did the fronts in the spring As momma just started complaining about noisy brakes. rotors still in above average shape but less than 1/16“ on all 4 rear pads. Today is the fronts and oil change on her 05 CRV.
Best part about the move down was the versatility we now have for parking. Will only put her out in the daytime until I get a custom car cover made up for the bronco.
I put Bilsteins on the toolbox truck. It's still bumpy, but no longer floppy & harsh.
Cut a few things out; two chain guards with a motorbike emblem inside for a repeat customer
And a request for a dog sign for his old pooch he wishes to remember
I'm not a sign guy at all, and this is the first one of the year but I'm happy with how it came out
Drawing that took me some 2 weeks on and off whereas I did the chain guards earlier today within minutes lol
Also been busy as we picked this girl up for foster
I volunteer to foster dogs from time to time and I have to say, this one's definitely a real tough case
She's roughly 3, and has been a stray all her life
Doesn't even know how to acknowledge or act around people as even in the house she's super skiddish
Poor girl
This little guy is my Louie. Best friend, by my side during day and in my arms every night. He went to heaven to be with Denise on June 5th (4 months today). He was 14 yrs old. That is his last picture.Cut a few things out; two chain guards with a motorbike emblem inside for a repeat customer

It's a bass boat, and we often glide it on the sand banks to stand in the creeks to fish.
This was the rear hull area, just forward of the transomt. It's 30 years old....
