I just dont understand.... the easiest way to prevent this is a cover and proper maintenance. So simple.

I'm dousing all mine with a good coat of ole timers water proof er, then paint.

Some new bits for the sundeck....







Oh, and if you dont have one of theses... I highly recommend one, not expensive, and extremely handy!! I needed a 95 deg angle, set my cuts perfectly!!



Have a good night!

I believe that anyone who owns a table saw and doesn't have a Wixey Angle finder...Well It's against the LAW!!! The KEY to the OT sealer is to soak the edges BIG TIME and then follow up with 2 coats minimum of full strength Polyurethane.

Some more bits for the sundeck...









This is the center white piece in the sundeck...

So Cor there is no structural repairs needed? Cushions look GREAT as usual.

I have one of those digital angle thingy's only it's 2 ft long and hinged ... Work looks great ! I feel so left out ... I haven't had time to sew anything for quite some time ...:dispirited:
Hey , I heard some rumors that that y'all were talking of joining the SEC ... :suspicious: Is this true ? That's all we need ! Another top team to add to the gauntlet !!
Boomer Sooner !!!

Big 10.....but that is so the people down south (short horns ) will pull their heads out of ......those ugly uniforms....BOOMER!

 

[Corjen1]

BOOMER SOONER!!

Fit and located the hinges for the sundeck before it started raining....



Now back to stitching...

Corjen, just found this. I can't believe your doing another one. With all you learned on the first and how sweet she turned out I can't wait to see your end results on this one. Count me in.

P.S. I second the Blue and Orange, Go Gators
