The Coffee Shop / we had quit a strange evening last night.

« on: January 21, 2012, 09:18:50 am »

My youngest daughter (12yo) was to a youth-night of our church, she goes there every Friday night.
on the way back she was with some friends and the road was covered with some ice.
three kids felt of there bikes and my daughter was the third one.
she fell back wards with the back of her head on the edge of the sidewalk.....
this all happened  half a mile away from our home so after we get a a call  and went over with the car.
she had lot of pain and blood on the back of her head.  we went home first and later to the emergency doctor at 23:15.
had to drive 12 miles to the doctors post.....   
she had a large 1" wound and the doctor put in  two stitches, he also was thinking that she has a brain concussion, we had to wake her every 1,5 hour all night.
to get rid of all the excitement we went to MC Donald's at 00:30 for some ice cream and hamburgers. LOL 

today she still has a head ache but seems to be OK.

bought me some thin BB plywood 2,5/64 and 5/64 (1mm and 2mm). about 19,7"x27,5" (50x70 cm)
it has a great grain and has almost a shiny gloss.

Brag Forum / 30 bird feeders

« on: December 09, 2011, 05:43:04 am »

I made 30 bird feeders.
someone asked me to made this for our church. (I don't sell them, I just get my materials payed)
they are for the elderly and ill people as a Christmas gift.
so they can enjoy the birds in the garden eating peanut butter  

was e great project. my brother in law came to help me quit a few evenings with sanding, gluing and painting.
and also my wife was helping painting.
so actually it's not my project but our project.

So look here to see a few pictures of the process.


seeing this you now know why i asked the gluing painted parts question.
all the Small corners are hard to sand properly.

Tutorials, Techniques and Tips / glue for painted parts

« on: December 08, 2011, 07:58:48 am »

Hi you all,

I wonder if you have any ideas on gluing parts that are already painted.
normally I glue my parts before painting, but with small corners and tiny places sanding is real hard to do properly.
so if I paint the parts first this would be better.
the only glue advise i get is from Bison and the say use the 2 component "kombi power".
what kind of glue do you use for this way of working?
