bushwacked Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Looks great ! Don't forget to sign & date ! I test fit tops but finish them separately. Put a coat on the bottom side then flip it onto pyramids and do the edges and top.Thanks for the tip. Followed that and the top went great! Close one with danish oil applied far one waiting for danish oil tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 woke up super eager to see how it all dried ... since last time on my bench it caught a bunch of fuzzies ... as far as I could tell at 6am in the cold going quickly it feels super smooth! Pretty pumped about that haha. Now if I can get the same result on #2 it will be a great week! haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Put the finish on the 2nd piece. What do y’all do with oily rags? For now I stack things on the towels on the back patio until they dry. Makes quite the mess haha. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Looking great! I leave them on the shop floor until they dry. Then, toss em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I hang them over a steel handrail or chainlink fence to dry then toss them. A relatives house had a fire that was started by spontaneous combustion . It was a different combination of circumstances than oily rags but I take that stuff seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I hang them on the edge of the garbage can then flip them over when dry. Sometimes they get left on my assembly table as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your that worried about it use a metal can with a sealing lid. This is what we had to use for the oily rags we created at my city job. You could buy a new metal paint can from the store and dispose of the rags in there. When you go to throw them in the trash wait until you place you can at the curb and then put them in a sealing ziplock bag with a bit of water in it. Cutting the oxygen will ensure they don't oxidize to create heat. Also if some combustion does occur the available oxygen is quickly used. I feel like laying them on the ground like you do is more hazardous than other options but my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I just hang them over a ladder rung outside until they are stiff and dry then throw them in the trash. I do like Drew mentioned and throw them in when the can goes to the curb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
