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

Oh and while I'm at it, if you see paint like this, don't eat it... it's 100% lead based

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..

Nice I can make that work. Thanks!

Gf has been spending a lot of time on pintrest, so I decided to make this blanket ladder for her that she saw on there. Just need to sand it when the wood glue dries and then paint it

Good ole Pinterest.

@Envian sink those screws deep then take your wood glue and mix your sawdust with the glue and you can use that as a putty to cover your screws. Sand out and paint. It'll look like you didn't use any fasteners.
You should post more too.

I didn’t use any screws

I just drilled holes and glued in dowels
