Standup Desks for Elementary School Kids -- Part 2

Four more broken ones to fix.


Drilled a second location for a screw and nut on the plastic feet.

Bought some stainless hardware at the local hardware store (#6 x 3/4").  The first washer on the right is from aircraft and is made of aluminum.  It's rather thick and has a taper on one side.
With the tapered screw head, it's a good combination.


Added felt pads on the bottom of the plastic feet also.

 

Wednesday, April 14, 2021 -- Manhattan Beach Pier - Cool... (low 60s) -- More and more electric bikes...

Both are electric...

Not so many people at the beach.  The parking lots nearest to the pier are 1/2 empty...

The three parked bikes in this picture are also electric...

Old Craftsman Wood Tool Chest

Wasn't sure how much I would "fix up" this old wood tool chest.
Decided to leave all the "patina" on the hardware and wood.
Will just clean everything (not restore) and wrap some leather on the handle.

It's missing the front lid but all the chests that I use have the lids removed/stored or folded down so it's not a big loss (only important for when transporting the tool chest).
