  • Re: Les' Build

    Very nice storage solution, too.

    I like the metal handles - I've had my tools outside for so long that the wooden handles had become stained and blackened. Not too appetizing...

    Had to clean them with a scrubber pad and bleach. It's already time to do them again!!!

    I presume the pooper scooper was brand new?

      No one would know unless you tell them... your tools look great!

      In fact I may try the pooper scooper idea. Brilliant!

        I dig the tool rack. I'm totally stealing that idea & design.

          Love those tools and just wish I had any welding skills - yours look fine to me!

            Where'd you find that brush head, Home Depot?
            I'm going to make one tonight. Though I can't weld, so I'll have to bolt on a handle.

              It was online, I don't recall where but I can find out for you tonight. Also, it is bolted on. The welding I had to do was for the shovel - it needed a 90 degree bend.

                  A chocolate lab - she was 90 pounds but we had to put her on a diet, now she weighs about 75. Didn't seem to change the size of the poop though.

                    once a big dog always a big dog, where the poop is concerned.

                    btw really like the tools you have come up with there. i have the stainless steel to work that end when the time comes.

                      Got the acrylic stucco on today. That's another nasty job - It's like working with sand that is soaked in paint, clean up is a bitch (still more to do when it dry's). I also got the first course of common brick down with the re-bar to solidify the walls. As much as I hate to do it, I think I will hit it again with the stucco - try and get a more uniform finish.

                        I have used many materials to build this oven; super glue, gorilla glue, and finally hot melt glue. BUT, today, I used the mother of all - Duct tape. I knew it would be a matter of time, just didn't know where. When I sat my first arches, I took great pain cutting shallow slots into 1/4 wood so I could build the forms. This will work just as well.

                          Gorilla glue... now there's something I never heard of before!

                          Les, your dome looks fantastic on the outside, too. I love its elegant shape with just the hint of a point on top!

                            Thanks Frances,

                            It's the point that I was trying to get rid of. I moved on to getting all the brickwork done and may go back and revisit the dome. In time, I may just say "good enough"

                              Another milestone passed. Got the arch done. I'm hoping that things get a little faster from here. Tyeing into the dome is going to require a lot of grinding I'm afraid. Square's and curves don't get along too well.

                                so far it doesn't look like squares and circles have been a problem to you!!!

                                I still go back to how much I like the dark mortar.

                                I think I have the same grill light as you - mine unfortunately has a rusted stem - apparently I nicked the plastic covering and water found it's way in. Other than that, I like it.
