An Indoor Weekend

It was an indoors weekend here.  Messy weather.  Windy (small craft warnings), 60s, and rainy all day yesterday, with the rain stretching into mid morning today.  I think the sun finally started peaking out around 12:30 or 1 for the rest of the day and it warmed up.  Might have been 80 today. 

Being indoors means heading into the shop and playing with things all day.  Both days.  I completed wrapping the replacement rod for the broken one.  It was more straightforward this time (experience) and I believe it took about half the time.  Next step is to set up the rotisserie motor and do the epoxy coating. 

(yeah the bench is a mess with tools, plastic bags, scraps of thread, clamps and you-name-it scattered every which way)

Around that, I did some more work on the other project, the guitar.  That's approaching being ready to finish; all I need to do is some cleanup work on the trim and a few light details like that.  I still haven't picked up or ordered a finish.  I'm thinking a light matte finish polyurethane, instead of a glossy finish.  Spray would be better, and that probably would be best done outside. 

I couldn't resist puttering around with my mills and lathes.  Ran everything a bit, but just playing around.  Didn't make anything.  Turned on the CNC and ran an old file with no cutting bits and no workpiece.  Just to exercise everything.
