Thanks man, finishing up the interior of the https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/buick-sales-and-service-garage-1936.248534/page-32#post-9828917 and will be moving on to installing the compressor and fabricating a filter system for help in keeping the MrCool cleaner. Sorry to get off...

Wow @racecougar , a lot of interesting work done in this picture, have you told about your air compressor and Rapid Air installation and what I assume is an air filter somewhere here? Neat work!!

So glad you, your loved ones and the rest of your property are ok and you're not giving up. Now, what's the status of the BUICK?

I was never able to find 1X8-10" heart pine for use as baseboard, so I picked through no less than 40 pieces of 1x10 new pine at Lowes for enough for the job. I ended up using Honey stain as a first coat followed by Red Chestnut the next say. I highlighted some of the areas of woodgrain with...

But as I previously mentioned the upper and lower walls were a bad mismatch so I set about staining over the revived shellac. Some woodworkers actually use cut shellac as a pre-treatment of wood prior to staining, so the stain applied nicely here.

Then it was time to fix all the mismatched shades of all the heart pine flooring, wall board and beadboard salvaged from the 1890s farmhouse used on the walls of the office. I had already used denatured alcohol on the beadboard to revive the old shellac and it turned out nicely but there was a...

Sorry to hear of your father in laws passing, he had great taste in cars for sure. BUICKFUL lil coupe. Is that a Special or Century? I love the 36-39 coupes with '36 being my favorite. In fact this rare one just came available not 30 minutes from me. Went and looked at it but at 72, I've got 2...

Thank you sir, donations accepted :LOL:

and as usual, appreciate your checking in and appreciation. My helper hasn't been around in awhile, just me and the wife from here on out. Well except for the electrician who will be coming as soon as I get the baseboards with receptacles of this room done. and YES it is cooling down and am...

Have been saving some of this heart pine just for the trim here, not many of them long enough for this window trim. The window ledge was long and a bit difficult for a one man crew so built some temporary chairs Cut some nailers at the same angle as the window sill edge...

Working on the door and window trim of the office. Using more of the old growth and heart pine salvaged from the 1890's farmhouse

Ricky, @Ricky Joe I am blown away by all these, I have heard of some like these shackle bolt wrenches but never seen them. I plan on dedicating one of my old Cornwell boxes (the one I bought at the Doraville General Motors Assembly Plant) for to display some of my older tools and would love to...

Oh man YES Ricky, I would love to have a shot at those tools and any books or literature. So sorry to hear of your broken back!!! I am dealing degenerative disc disease so can empathize somewhat with you. I hope it mends well. So yea, just whenever you're able to collect those and send pictures...

Yea, once in the garage area and once in the office There was so little bleed it was easier to just detail it off.

All in all though we're very happy with the outcome. I'll be applying the Buick script logo stickers permanently later after all the woodwork is complete.

We again had a few places where the concrete was rough and the paint bled under the stencil but were easily detailed with an exaxto blade. What was more difficult was all the stencil layout pencil lines but a drafting eraser from my days in engineering took care of them. Then it was...

and then the real, real, real fun began. As mentioned above the office area is being done in a 1930's Art Deco theme so we decided to trim the perimeter out with a Meander or Greek Key design done with a one time use adhesive type stencil.

Then the real fun began, applying the Buick logo stencil Only had a few spots where the latex paint bleed underneath the stencil, easily cleaned up with a razor blade and a drafting eraser
