Next step of the paint... Not pictured, I finally put together a 4" x 6' PVC tube to soak the post in the acid. rust remover concoction.

Wrapped up the boat trailer fenders, all in all...I'm happy with the outcome. There's 1 spot I may revisit after I get them mounted. Little quick trick, heated a bolt and melted through the carpet at the mounting location, beats pulling and damaging it with a drill or chasing an invisible hole...

Little more paint work on the base and tables. Black, charcoal and orange once I get it all done. Casually looking for a local 100 or 150 to go with these tables and base.

Carpet on the boat fenders, quite the job, however I am enjoying the project. I've been at it all day after the gym and a few work tasks. I'm saving the tedious part of wrapping the top for tomorrow when I'm a bit fresher so I don't rush it and make an error. I'll probably watch some more...

Working on an idea of mine. I came across the Gen 2 I mentioned earlier with the double table, it had some issues with the head and motor. I'm working on the base, post and tables. I'll be casually looking for a 100 or 150 of the previous generation and blend the two together. Cleaned, prepped...

Took today off, trying to "catch up". All over the place today, Second outside work table, drying the boat out from the last "adventure" and recent humidity/ rain, final prep on the trailer fenders/ carpet ( tomorrow is the day), some top coat paint on a drill press project. Pics, no order...

Someone may make them, but most are probably custom/ home made. Typically made to be used by a black smith/ blade smith and are used to twist railroad spikes and other square stock. I've never seen one manufactured outside of DIY.

Cross post - Quick outside work table, keep the messy jobs out of the shop with the boat. The wooden wire spool served the purpose but finally gave up. Treated 2x6, galvanized ring nails via the framing nail gun, deck screws and waterproof construction adhesive.

Wooden wire spool finally came to end of its second service life. Quick , easy 2x6 outdoor work table for dirty messes I don't want inside with the boat. If it seems like it's going to hold up well, I may build another and chase some steel plate for the top. I included the plans from the...

I just randomly snagged the floor version of this with the dual tables. $50 Craigslist find, drug it home. I've never seen the dual table deal..I decided I needed it for the base, post and tables.. the rest would just be stripped down for parts for another future project.

New to me Craigslist find. I've never seen the dual table. I don't need another drill press. I wanted the tables, base, and post. I'll strip down the rest and keep some useful parts. The motor is absolutely toast.

Made the templates for the boat pieces to match the trailer steps. Drug home a random Craigslist find. $50 I wanted the tables base and post. Never seen the dual table deal... I'll strip the head down and keep some useful parts. The motor is absolutely smoked.

Pulled the boat out, rinse, simple green, scrubbed, rinsed, squeegeed the floor clean. The boat trailer fender project has made quite the mess, Still waiting on the carpet to get delivered. Today, I'm making templates for all the rubber pieces to send to Dura Deck Marine for replacement pieces...

Made some time to make some progress on the boat trailer fenders. Removed the rubber step pads completely, I may replace them with a Sea Deck type material called Dura- Deck. I gotta call them today to see if they make a set for my my boat and trailer combo. 3 rounds of adhesive remover...

The end grain cuts look like Apitong. I used some for boat trailer bunks, it's typically used on the floors in tractor trailer trailers. Heavy, durable and nearly water proof. It's hard on cutting tools like any Ipe. I passed all my scraps to a friend who uses it on custom knives for handle...

Carefully peeled back the rubber non slip step pads to reveal the last of the hardware on the trailer fenders. Thye will get put back after new carpet and after installation, it will be the last step. I have some cleaning to do...

Made more progress on the boat trailer and fenders than I expected to today. Finish coat is on the trailer, carpet removed from the fenders drilled the fenders to match the new hardware, snagged the SS hardware today from my local Ace. The carpet came off pretty easy and in once piece, it will...

Second boat fender is off. Same mess as the other side. I have it in primer too. Im going to put the wheels back on it and pull it out. The job made quite the mess I want to clean up before I move forward. Milwaukee M12 dremel style rotary tool with a cutting wheel has earned its keep as has...

One side of the boat trailer is in primer. I think I'm going to get the other side this far, then top coat both sides together. Drilled the mounting holes out to 5/16 to upgrade to larger hardware in SS. I need to order some material to remake the spacers.

1 fender is off. Quite the task. The plan is to finish prepping the trailer on this side, I still have some fasteners to cut off flush and drill out, some light sanding, priming and paint. I'll do that to both sides while I wait on the delivery of the carpet. 3 bolts per side have the heads...
