Epoxy... part 8 - Sanding the entire bench top surface up to 5,000 grit

The wood is polished all over...

Went through the various grits of sand paper, up to 5,000.
This is after wiping off the sawdust with a wet paper towel.

After the water dried off...

 

Friday, April 2, 2021 -- Good Friday -- Manhattan Beach Pier

Kombucha day.
It's a new flavor but it tastes about the same as all the others...








Hang Glider spot.  Someone is taking a "lesson."

 

Mini Cooper Steering Wheel...

There's a little space on this rafter.
Will hang a small steering wheel in the gap...

About a 13" diameter (very small).

Using this cut-off wheel, took the end off of the small hook to hang the steering wheel.

The small hook had an upturn (like the bigger hook) before cutting it off...

Also had to move the hook for the Harley oil tank over about an inch to fit the steering wheel next to it...

Storage #4 -- Bought a Rack to Go Inside

From Costco online...


The shelving unit came with four shelves.  I happened to have a shelf left over from the other shelving units I already put in the first three bins.  Used it here (the gray colored one at the top).

This unit is raw stainless steel.
Costco is out of stock on the gray units that I had previously purchased.

About 1/2 to 2/3 full... (the cardboard boxes are empty and will be moved out of the storage bin soon, freeing up valuable space)

 

Thursday, April 1, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier

It's mostly overcast at the beach.
But, it's quite warm (high 70s F, around 25 C) and a bit humid.

There's a lot of people on the sand all along the entire bike ride...


This woman is blowing big soap bubbles...  I don't know why...

All the bicycles in this picture appear to be electric...
