3/ organized my taps / dies / threading drawer before work (yellow bins are from Harbor Freight organizer briefcases - I often end up removing one or two from each briefcase to fit oversized things in, and repurpose them as drawer organizers)pic.twitter.com/8sB0jfOxUG
4/ moved extraction tools to the "drill bit driver" drawerpic.twitter.com/bzsUVzh8oo
6/ anyway, all of this was in brief breaks in my before-work-today project which was building new steel brackets to hold up the new window boxes I built for elfwife to grow herbs in, in the berry patch Here are the existing ones (forgive the lack of weeding; later rectified)pic.twitter.com/5ViucGMb7t
7/ Boxes are four sides, no bottom, and there's an off the shelf plastic planter we purchase and drop into the middle. Result: nicely secured on fence, drains out bottom, aesthetic on four sides. Bottom viewpic.twitter.com/iiqdJvIGWF
8/ Two years ago I made these boxes from pre-primed outdoor house trim, hit with something like three coats of paint. Not thrilled with the (lack of) weather resistance, so this year I tried an experiment using PVC trim board https://www.lowes.com/pd/Royal-Building-Products-Actual-0-75-in-x-5-5-in-x-8-ft-Common-Board-PVC-Board/1000443069 … Looks pretty good.
9/ Process to make brackets: * go to barn, fetch down some 1" x 1/4" mild steel flat stock that I keep up on some brackets I welded up for overhead storagepic.twitter.com/C1dhiaFmAm
10/
* consult archived notes (I think @bdunbar calls this a "run sheet"?)pic.twitter.com/hwmjbbpDyp
11/ cut flat stock to length (I wish I had a jig to make repeatable cuts ; spent a few minutes pondering C-clamps and angle iron, but it wasn't going to be trivial)pic.twitter.com/veoOnYdU3u
19/ 2nd bends done; double check dimensions and drill a second hole at other end (first hole lets a deck screw - A DECK SCREW! - I know, I heard the story) secures bracket onto fence ; 2nd hole has 2nd deck screw come up from below into window boxpic.twitter.com/8PNCgJZvhJ
21/ next up, will set up the HVLP sprayer and hit all the brackets with a coat of iron oxide farm primer, then two or three coats of white top coatpic.twitter.com/1ueGmxAitW
