My sad loss

R.I.P

 Dear readers,

I am sorry that you haven't seen anything new on my blog site for a while; the reason for this is that recently my lovely Japanese wife of forty-six years of marriage died, therefore; I am going through so much pain and upset.

Thankfully I have some good friends to give me; support and encouragement during such difficult times.

My closest friends have told me to remember all the good times we shared; this will give me the strength to carry on.

I will do my best to get back into adding new content when I have the motivation to carry on.

Now I must restart my life and am unsure which way to turn.

I know that my wife would want me to do my best to rebuild my life therefore out of respect and love for her I will do so.

I never expected my wife to go before me I had always thought that I would go first in life we never know what's around the corner.

Thank you for taking the time to read all my posts, they are much appreciated and I hope they are educational to you.

Kind regards,

Andrew.

Ladder Finishing

Hi, today I want to show you a recent request to stain and finish a wooden ladder made from both pine and beech.

Firstly, it had to be sanded down luckily for me it had already been done.

Then came the staining it had to match a pattern colour, after going through a number of stains a choice was made.

Applied several applications of stain to achieve the desired colour. 

After setting up the spray compressor and spray gun, and making sure that the workshop was warm enough to prevent the lacquer from chilling as the weather was as usual cold and raining.

Sprayed many coats of lacquer for a fantastic finish as the customer required.

 

I used my Devilbiss spray gun, for a great even finish

Used a matt finish lacquer

The customer was very pleased with the work, and that's always a good thing right.

Thank you for viewing my Blogsite it's much appreciated.
