Wet Sanding

If you want a professional finish its imperative that you wet sand the orange peel out of the sanding sealer.  Makes the finish like a mirror.  Top tip.

Brunswick Centennial Install

Installed the Centennial this weekend in Delaware.  The most sought after table on the planet right now and its no wonder.  Designed by Donald Deskey for Brunswick.  Same guy who designed the interior of Radio City Music Hall. Killer.

Walnut MacBook Stand

Had some scrap walnut and decided to make a stand for the laptop.  Pretty simple but I like the blend of materials.

New Pony in the Stable

 Picked up a 69' CL350

Put some Firestones on it and am fitting an older tank.  Looks killer.

New Addition

This is the newest addition to the family.  His name is Mo.  He's a pretty rad little dude.

For Sale

 Well I finally broke down and listed my GSXR for sale.  This was the very first bike that I owned and I just don't ride it anymore.  Off to a new home it goes.

Grilling

 Some time ago I hit a deer with the truck and smashed the front end up pretty good.  I fixed everything but never got around to the grill.  Finally I made the metal pieces that fit inside the plastic grill section.

 Welded some threaded rod to the back to give me something to bolt to. 

 Painted it to match the truck and put a used bowtie on it.

High Gloss Black

My old man is working on a Brunswick Gold Crown for a guy and wanted to convert the corners and feet to a high gloss black instead of the silver.  He gave them to me to powder coat but I couldn't get the impurities to stop coming out of the metal.  I decided that I would shoot the with base/clear.  Need to wet sand them to get that orange peel out.  Hopefully they will look like a mirror when I'm done. 

Delivered Anniversary

Well I finally finished the Anniversary that I was working on.  My brother and I installed it this weekend in North Jersey for a customer.  The table looked spectacular in the purpose built room.  You'll have to excuse the junk photos.  I woke up at 5 am to install it and forgot the camera.

Anniversary Castings

Started polishing the corner castings.  There is some heavy pitting that I'm trying to work through but you have to remember this table is 75 years old, its going to have some character marks, thats part of the nostalgia.

Anniversary Legs Finished

Finished the legs last night.  The final step was to wrap the bottom with brushed aluminum.  Super pleased with the results.
