Monday, January 4, 2021 -- Taiko at the Beach?
This is the parking lot that I cut across to go from the bike path to the parking lot service road, on the way back home.
Noticed someone practicing Taiko & stopped at a distance to look.
The woman on the left was teaching the boy...
I recognized the drums and the stands. They look like they're from Asano Taiko (Torrance). I think they're renting out drums, during the pandemic.
The drums are pretty expensive.
These medium sized ones can approach $10,000...
The little orange car is a Datsun 510 2-door coupe from the early 1970s. It was an unusual car in it's day because it's kind of an economy Japanese car with RWD, independent rear suspension & a 5-speed manual trans.
It was the early 1970s, orange was a factory color option...
This one looks to be pretty modified, even from this far-away picture.
Lowered, aftermarket wheels/tires, decklid painted black. roof rack...
Scrap Leather -- Handle Wrap for the Gerstner Tool Case
I found my bag of scrap leather.
Cutting out a strip of the brownish leather to use as a wrap for the handle on the old Gerstner tool case...

Dining table bench - part 11 -- sand one end of the board...
The ends of the board have "burn" marks from the table saw.
Will sand it down.
Left side is done.
Right side is also done.
Used a pretty aggressive sand paper.
Will sand later with some finer paper...

Dining table bench - part 10 -- Finish the butterfly & sand some more...
Will first plane down the butterfly closer to the board.
After the plane, will use the random orbital sander to sand down the butterfly and take care of some extra plane marks.
Also, there's a section of the board where the wood is "burnt" from the last sanding.
The butterfly is about 0.5 mm over-flush.
The purple wood is very hard and sanding it down, even the small amount, will take quite a bit of time.
Random Orbital Sander.
After sanding with an aggressive pad.
Will sand with finer paper later.
