well I never claimed to be an artist or especially a metal artist but that's the
beginning now I'm gonna have enough rod and the trick is now is to make the five
my address is 250 come on buy that coffee
so uh the trick is to make it the fibers tallest this will see what a day good
lord the Sun is coming in here cut the heat on my life is finally welling up or
I can leave her alone and conduct my shop for a little bit yeah life is these
couple hours in a way of life is really good make the zero and think I'm gonna
well little posts like one inch tall and the bottom of these and then we'll the
posts to the top of the mailbox so let me make that zero and cut a couple posts
I will move over to the welding portion all right I'm gonna get these well these
little post weld it on and then I'm gonna clean these up with my hand my
drum bowl grinder you don't clean them up clean all the Smuts off of them so
the whole paint and then I'm gonna weld them to the top of the mailbox
okay I'm gonna get my dremel out clean them although make them shiny and pretty
and then get to welding them to the top of the mailbox alright we are welded and
cleaned up and I'm gonna grind the top of that mailbox off so this sort of weld
will stick and then we will these on all right let the games begin
alrighty
now I'm gonna clean this all up and I'm gonna paint the numbers red I'm going to
take the flag off paint it red and I
told my wife I was gonna paint the mailbox red and she said no I want it
gray of course me being the man of the house I chuckled and said okay I'll
paint it gray so uh numbers our red flag is red box is gray I got one coat of
paint on the post glossy white and I'm probably gonna take two more coats on
the on the post because it was a pale yellow and it's been she's probably 15
18 years since I put that in there and that's how long it's been since it's had
a coat of paint on it so that's gonna take three three coats
anyway let me get let me get to cleaning this up with the with the sandpaper all
right I got a got my heaters aim daddy
give it about a holler so I put the last coat of red on there and then I'll do
the gray in the meantime I'm fixing to go up to my pole and put a second coat
of light on that and I won't bring you down there with not show it when you
when I get it all together you'll see the pole it's that's not that
interesting and who knows this may not be interesting it see you in a bit all
right I've got another coat of gray to put on I've got a I didn't want to get
too close the the wet the red is still a little wet so I didn't go crazy with a
grey but it's gonna look a lot nicer with the second coat and I got the paint
a little flag read about it I'll come back out here in a few hours and I got
this fan and the heat aimed at it so a few hours it ought to be drying up for a
second coat see you Dan okay probably doesn't look any different than the last
time I showed you but this is two coats of paint on everything and I
rehabilitation to set on I used to have screws going through the side here into
this you probably see the screw holes there but now what I'm going to do is
have bolts come come through the bottom of this and I've doubled this up with a
piece of plywood so it will have four panhead bolts holding this arm and
that's gonna be a whole lot sturdier and I don't think I'm gonna beat the mailman
but I'm gonna get up early and try I'm gonna have to leave my heat on overnight
in here to try and dry this out I only got a couple things to do it's bolt this
up under here put my flag on and then go out and bolt it to the pole and we done
see you tomorrow
there we go I got a one more coat of white paint I'm on I'll put on the pole
and brackets and yesterday I come up with a way I just pulled up here
hey ma'am man let's see you mess that up
all right it's our temperatures have plunged down
into the brutal cold zone I think it's uh middle 40s too cold the paint but
when it warms up I'm gonna be painting my white around the gate there the poles
on either side of my gate and uh I got black paint I'm gonna go ahead and paint
my gate team thanks for watching real quick product review
wd-40 has come out with these really flexible hoses so uh you know hard to
get to maybe a nut that won't come loose or a bolt that won't go in somewhere you
can bend and shape and twist and shout and spray well anyway this is like seven
bucks for a can it's a big can and I only bought it for this because other
cans that have the little plastic straw that that folds up you could take this
off and put it on I've already checked it's the same it's you just pry this out
and slide this in there real easy and where this can was in Home Depot there
was about ten of these that had I guess broken off and I have a can
with the old straw type on here that I'm going to try to see if I can put this on
just in case you didn't know these were out there pretty cool huh you are one
funny little dog yes you are you are one funny little girl
