I started doing the same years ago and remember the knuckle busting.
Enter the vibrating multi purpose tool. A blade that has no teeth, cut right through the old crap. My work time went from 40 minutes per window to about 5.Ten windows. What a life saver. I save all my old blades. Just a thought.

Now you tell me!! I even have a Bosch multi tool. Sigh. My scabs have healed. Good advice for the next guy!

 

[JohnVee]

I have about 8x the cost of the tool in blades. Still happy.

Just got one recently for doing baseboard trim cuts for the new trim I put up. Wow, what an awesome tool!

Cheapo from Harbor Freight. Last pretty long time. Blades from Lumber liquidators seem to last pretty good.

Nothing crazy, but a fun little project. An old Army M-1950 stove made in 1966. Never saw it get used, but it was alway around my dad’s workshop. Just one of those things I associate with dad. Grabbed it when he passed away and it’s just been sitting in my camping gear for a couple years. Found a site for repair parts to restore old Coleman products. Got some new seals and leather pump cup. Going to prime it, repaint it, and replace the worn parts. Should be good for another 20-30 years.

Did a shorty (pistol) build with one of spikes stripped lowers I had stashed away. This is an economy build but still has a decent fit and finish.

when does the hot pink paint job go on

 

[ROBsSON]

Got the boat out this weekend to test the motor and hull, it ran great and didn’t sink! Got to a top speed of about 23/25 according to the Speedo on the boat seems to be the only gauge that works but it was a good time.

trolling motor needs new connectors but seems to work alright

Thanks @stevezero for the battery!

Funny you ask...i was sort of considering doing one of the gun skin kits, not hot pink of course. They seem straightforward to apply but I know of no first hand feedback.

Meh. Firearms are black or else they look like toys and attract attention of yutes. My opinion.

 

[SFROMAN]

I don't think any of my work guns are actually black anymore. they are a variant of tan color.

Two yutes?? Or more??

Stainless also works.

I don’t know if my OCD could fathom using stencils and paint. I’d drive myself nuts!! That looks really good btw.

Nickel. I can rust stainless as fast as anything else, might as well be classy while it lasts.

Joanna Gaines is the devil

All-in-all, it wasn't a bad project, but still need my wife to quit watching home improvement shows. The live-edge mantel was finished with Tung oil, which only comes in a 10x lifetime supply container.

Next project; this should be a little more enjoyable than German Schmearing
