Wire brush I use
80 grit is all you need for wood if you're painting or staining.
I’ve been meaning to get an 80 grit brush
Hahah nice
Thanks bro
😉
Seriously though I use 80 grit to clean my spark plugs too
I’ve been using the same little square for about 7 years I think lol
Hahah that's awesome. People tend to throw it away to soon.
I sand paint and epox a lot and you get that build up, you can see it in that picture of the used paper, I knock it off with a wire brush and it works almost as well as a new piece.
I use those little sanding pads, the foam ones, I get a good 6 months or so out of one by keeping it clean.
I finally finished those church windows. After I glazed it. Before paint.
Installed, all 3 sashes
Mines the middle one
From that pic it looks like someone just cleaned it haha
And this is beautiful.
This @here is an example of true Identarian craftsmanship guys; the sort of expertise that made our ancestors famous from the Renaissance of the 1500s to the Golden Age of the 1900s. Well done @RevStench. You’re an example to all of us.
That looks fantastic!
I only fixed the broken glass in the windows and made them functional again. We hung that crown molding. But that staircase is in incredible shape, quality craftsmanship. I figured you would appreciate it, the only work I did was replace the old worn out treads and that's it. The home was built in the late 1890s and a family with 14 kids lived there until the youngest died about 10 years ago.
@RevStench I'm a dumbass, dude, I never even thought to scrape the wood off of sandpaper
@John O - haha bro, we all are. I used to go through so much sand paper until I started working for this old guy.
KNOWLEDGE
Pro tip, I know I already showed this when there was a teaching channel, but if you chip a small sliver of wood off of pretty anything, don't have any glue or a small twist drill for a pilot hole. No problem.
Blunt the tip of nail, basically turning it into a cut nail(the old style that look like rail road spikes). It's better to cut the wood fiber than it is to separate it.
Put a little epox on it and paint. Strip it first, but good as new. 2 nails is over kill but it's a top sash so it takes a beating.
Check out how clever these old guys were.
Arched windows from the outside
<@&403278581272150016> Any links to plans for a wooden door awning/canopy? Not a Gable one, just a standard flat one with a slight downward angle. I've searched online extensively to no avail. If nothing's available I'll just figure it out, but I prefer to work off of plans. Thanks!
Something similar to this..
