Cleaning the Drill Press Table...

Forgot to take a picture before cleaning.
The table top looked bad. It was pretty brown with corrosion.
Some of the corrosion was a bit deep and caused some slight pitting.  Should have cleaned it sooner, but most of the pitting came out from the cleaning with sand paper & steel wool.

This is after cleaning the corrosion.
It's looking pretty good.

Applied a coat of wax and letting it "dry."
Will buff it later...

Buffed out the wax.
Doesn't look dramatically different but should be protected from future rust...

I need to do the table saw next...

 

Gordon Murray Car Collection

Just saw a piece on Gordon Murray's car collection on YouTube.
I have models of a couple of the cars from the video sitting around on my desk...



 

Friday, April 16, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Not too busy at the pier area.
A bit surprising on a Friday at lunch time...


Lots of outdoor dining space...

I like the surfboard carrier setup on this bike (it's hard to see in the picture).
It's setup to carry it behind the rider (instead of next to the rider in a lot of the cases).
It doesn't make the footprint any wider and is pretty much out of the way of the rider.
