shaneymack Posted July 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Something I forgot to mention. When i went into the shop this morning to take the ducting down, i found bird crap on all my machines and all over the top of the grandfather clock !! Man was I pissed. Spent an hour sanding all my cast iron and adding wax. Couldn't find the bird so he must be dead somewhere in there and if he's not, he will be !! How dare he !!!

mat60 Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Even the bottom of your clock build looks great. Id really like to see your shop tear down and re do Shane . That would be cool. Sorry about the bird crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom King Posted July 16, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 This is a great tape for ducting. You can remove it a several years later on inside uses, not only pretty easily, but it leaves no residue. It's has a plenty strong enough hold, but you can still remove it without a knife. I use it for a lot of different things. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013AZ4W0/ref=asc_df_B0013AZ4W05078245/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=394997&creativeASIN=B0013AZ4W0&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167151899683&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=227000930735959231&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009831&hvtargid=pla-316336326875 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I think the shop teardown and rebuild would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 You have my sympathy. Shop teardown is no fun at all. Label boxes with all the contents or you might not find things until every box is unpacked. Dont ask...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this tape stronger/stickier than the normal stuff? 7 minutes ago, wdwerker said: You have my sympathy. Shop teardown is no fun at all.

We get the keys on the 18th and I only have to be out of this house by the 27th so hopefully that is a big enough window to be fairly organized. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 It's very similar to regular duct tape, except you can get it back off. There are several similar Scotch Tough Painter's Clean Release Duct Tape variations. The one I keep stocked up on looks a little different than that link, but I expect the adhesive is the same. I move mine every year or two, so I have plenty of experience. Home Depot has it in their paint section. I used it as the first line of defense on old woodwork when masking a room off for plastering ( a very wet operation), and have tried not to be without it since. That's how I first ended up trying it since it's called an exterior painters tape. I wouldn't bet on there being no changes to the ducting system sometime in the future. Here's a picture of the kind I have, that has been sold in Home Depot for several years. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067NLZOE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 My first link showed $7.33 American. It's still worth the price the first time you have to take it off. Maybe you can find it up there, somewhere else cheaper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post shaneymack Posted September 18, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I can't believe it's been since July since I've posted on this thread ! It's been one heluva summer !!! So I finally got the shop more or less finished. I got right to the clock since I only had a couple weeks left before the reveal. This past Thursday I brought the clock out to my buddy's shop about an hour away to use his spray booth. We started with the General finishes medium brown dye . There were a few spots that needs to be touched up sp we did some shading. After that we sprayed three coats of this awesomeness It was my first time spraying a post catalyzed product and my first time spraying conversion varnish. This stuff is the bomb. I got home at 3am on Thursday after doing one coat of dye, multiple layers of shading and three coats of the conversion varnish. Was on the the job at 715am on Friday. I'm getting too old for that LOL. I left the clock at my buddy's shop as it was too fresh to take home. My buddy had his guys pack it it up in foam and loaded in his van and he brought it to me Friday afternoon. He stayed and helped me rub out the finish, install the glass, glue on the clock face and reinstall the doors. He knew we were giving it to dad the next day so he wanted to help. He a great friend. The next morning (yesterday) I got up and installed the clock In the house. I had to level it and Install all the clock parts and get it working properly for the big reveal. It was my dad's 65th birthday party here at 3pm ! I got it all done by 11am. Unfortunately I don't have many pics of all these last steps as i was in a major rush lol. Here are a couple pics of it at my place After dad's party, I took it all apart again and put all the parts back in their boxes. I loaded everything up to be able to bring it to my dad's. This morning I got up and brought it to his house and got it all installed there for him. He is a very happy and proud dad. Here is dad and I just after we gave it to him Here is a pic of it at his house. This build was a lot of fun. I'm so happy my Dad LOVES it ! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
