    Those look like they would stay in better than most that I've seen. Where did you get them?
    Penncrest Buzzbox - Infinite amp control! Man the 70's were good.
    Everlast Powerplasma 60 - Reliable unit, cuts well.
    Everlast i-MIG 250P w/spoolgun - Really smooth, plenty of cajones.
    Everlast 250EXT - Sometimes it just takes a kick in the balls...
    Everlast 255EXT - Just started playing

    Well, I have figured out that Spare Urethane does not dry fast at all!
    I applied 4 coats with a brush 4 days ago and I can still make finger prints in the finish.
    Whats wierd is I can sand it but if I push down on it there is a mark.

    No clue but I have this in a small storage closet with a heater running and its 93* in that room so surely that will help!?!?
    I'm using Helsman Spar Urethane and it say let dry 24 hours before use...Ha, more like 24 days.

    I love to work with wood as long as I can paint it or cover it in carpet!! lol This fancy wood finish sux!

    The bench finally dried and this weekend we put it out with the plants.
    I'm on the fence with it, not sure if it looks right sitting there!?!?

    That bench looks really nice. You did a great job on the top. A nice varnish/urethane finish always looks awesome. The welding is great too....

    Many years ago I though I would build our kitchen cabinets.... I built a vanity for the bathroom. It turned out great... No way I was ever going to put that much work into building the kitchen cabinets... Box store there I went!!!!!

    That dog is a chick Magnet!! When he meets someone new, he doesn't bark, he says "Wooo, Wooo", then he's got'em hooked! lol
    He also has a little cart that we pull behind our bicycles and he wears his Doggles there too... Stud!
