What did you use to clear those up that well!? Looks really good

I've used different kits and the Sylvania has worked the best for me. The secret is the UV block/clear coat.

Amazon sells the whole kit with polishing compound and sand paper. There is another kit that contains only the activator and UV coating.

If you have 400/1000/2000 grit paper or similar on hand you can skip the kit and buy the less expensive setup.

My son broke the bench vise I inherited from my grandfather. It wasn't a super nice vise but it's done the job. I was about to pickup a HF Doyle when I saw this gem pop up on KSL listed as a vice. Wilton 1750 Build date is 1/1974. I'll start stripping it and restoring it this week. My boys will have to fight over this when I'm gone.

I search KSL with misspelled words too. It's amazing what come up.

Paid for excavator delivery this weekend. But they stopped 2 miles shy of the property. Took an hour and 23 minutes to track it each way. That a long ride.

I didn’t take any before pictures, and the after photo doesn’t do it justice. But I cut a road and RV pad on the property. It’s WAY bigger than I thought it would be.. but not big enough still 🤣

Pile some dirt a little higher on the outside edge of the pad. It’s going to settle and sink more than you think. This will also keep the water from eroding away the edge of your pad.

Did. Because you told me that previous.

This was a pretty big excavator, so the touchup stuff was pretty impossible. I’m going to have to spend a day with a front end loader like yours up here.
 

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
This was dumb. The rubber bushing nutserts were all spinning and the lowers were missing altogether. Just about impossible to get bolts into position. I thought about @Kevin B. the other day tie wiring his bolt. I didn’t have any wire readily available, but I had this heat shrink staring at me.

Not often wrong. Never quite right.

Put a note on that so the next guy knows those are loose or he's gonna say some really bad words... :rofl:

edit - in fact, maybe a little plastic washer or piece of thin metal sheet with a hole just smaller than the major diameter of the bolt?
