Just worked on computers. Need to put a new tensioner on the Focus. Threw the belt off put a new one on and it tossed it. So I'm replacing the idler and installing a new tensioner. Got to lift the engine to put them on. Not enough room to get you hand to anything. It's going to be fun.

A guy that used to post here m78 made a cool setup for raising and lowering his topper using a HF winch and pulley system I think, looked like it worked well.

Thanks Jon, also built the inner and second ring of my picnic table, may rebuild the inner to fit better.... or use my air hammer to get it in there[emoji1787][emoji1787]

Thanks, it took me most of the day to get my chop saw set at 22.5 degrees. And to get a wood blade to fit my chop saw

Hey Doc, are you planning on running along the joints with a wood burner when you are done? I think that would look really cool.

I haven't thought about that, but I will try with it. I've got a few extra inner rings was thinking about making a clock with one. But I'll try the wood burning on one of those[emoji848]

Was envisioning the large perfectly aligned spider web pattern, plus, it would camouflage any deviations from the saw blade.

Nice work!

I've been thinking about trying my hand at burning some wood with salt water and an old microwave like in some utube videos I've seen. They come out with some really neat patterns

Hmmmm, never heard of that, off too YouTube later.

I've used my soldering iron, wire heated with a torch, or a wood burner, and branding irons of course. All with some degree of success.
