OH my bad!! You're putting an orange peel finish on them?Those are oranges!!
It’s a smoker/grill. They do great for low and slow cooking, but they can also get really hot(700 plus) for searing steaks. Overpriced but nifty.
I need one....got a link to it?
Marc, I use some that I get at Harbor Freight that are decent and cheap. Tony
My slabs and projects are going to get bigger. Buttonwood
I made a bunch of roach clips....
Marc - I don't understand at all how its done but the checkering in the last pic is amazing. Very impressive work!
Unfortunately no... I bought the one I have at a shoe store in 1980.
Wally World says they have one, and it's shown on Amazon too, but I'm not sure how stiff the bristles are. Since they are crimped, I'd guess they may be a little stiffer than the one I have. The bristles are quite fine on the one I have, and thus rather soft, but being really fine, they work their way into every little nook and cranny imaginable and work a lot of little bitty things out. Works fantastic refinishing because it'll drag the little remnants of oil/varnish/shellac/whatever in the checkering out when using paint remover.
You might try and find it at wally world, and see how stiff it is, but you don't want anything real stiff in there tearing things up on that open grain. You want a soft fine bristled brush, and you don't want to apply a great deal of pressure with it.
Brass Bristle Brush
Thanks Scott. I will be making a tutorial later on. I have another stock I can take my time and take plenty of pictures of. This stock was essentially my first go at it. In the middle of the first side on the butt stock I had a line go astray on me, and I remembered homebody said to get a special tool to fix that sort of screw up. So it got put on hold for a week. Man, I hated looking at that for a whole week. Just staring me in the face saying ...nah nah...you messed up.
Thanks rocky, I'll cruise up there this weekend n see if they have it.
The ones I have are small toothbrush sized ones, I didn't realize Rock was talking about a big brush. Tony
The one I have is not real big Tony, 1/2" wide, maybe 1 1/4" long. Just wasn't finding anything close, and that one was at Wally World where he can check the bristles to see how soft they are before buying.
Might want to consider this one too mark, has two sets of nylon bristles, and the brass bristles. May be a better choice for the same money. But you'd have to be careful using the nylon bristles with paint strippers. I have seen Zip Strip melt some nylon bristles, back in the day. That was the beauty of the brass bristle, over parts cleaning brushes and such, it was Zip Strip proof.
Suede Brush II
Suede Brush II
They're called tooth brushes....they come in three flavored; soft, medium, and gum bleed
I believe the term is 'bracelet helpers'...first popularized in the 60's. Must have been a lot of difficult bracelet latches introduced back then.
I've got a lot of "bracelet helper " kits i got from @Luckypenney. I was thinking of offering a free bag of potato chips with each purchase. That way when you get the munchies after "putting on your bracelet " you're covered! Tony
