Recently the local reuse place had an interesting tabletop that looked like it came from a restaurant. It happened to be the perfect size to fit on the back wall in the office. This is going to be our new workbench for building and repair.
Thanks for letting me share this find with you all and please take care of each other.
We needed a file cabinet for the office and picked one up at the reuse store. Jess had the wonderful idea that we should paint art on it. We got to talking and turns out she had never cut or weeded a stencil before. I think she nailed on the first go. What a fantastic job! Also a spot on OPA logo!
If you have not seen The Expanse or read the Books (By James S. A. Corey), please check them out.
They have been my top favorite space/sci-fi book series in recent memory.
The next installment: A Little Death
Please take care of each other.
About a while back I found a vintage unused Paasche air compressor from the 1990s for $15.00 so I grabbed it. I sat on it and I waited and watched and in the end I got a fantastic deal on a Paasche Talon TG airbrush.
It’s been fantastically fun so far as I love learning from experimenting and just getting in and doing something. The photo is my first attempt at spraying a single coat of paint using an airbrush. I see lots of mistakes but I learned a great deal on how to handle curves and inner surfaces.
Some takeaways:
Make some sort turntable to spin objects as I paint them. Less need to go back and fill in missed spots.
Find a good water-based metal surface primer for airbrushing.
Try and get a full set of nozzles/needles when I can.
Learning is progress.
Learning a hard lesson, I totally fried the controller and likely the LEDS after I bumped the power output switch.
I am having to put this on the back burner until I can afford to get the parts again.
Thanks for your time and please take care of each other.
