I was hoping to finish it today, but it is pouring rain so the humidity is too high to bead blast. I am hoping to get on it again tomorrow evening after the Steele family reunion, weather permitting. I have about 4 hours of work left to do, both halves through the cabinet at 40 PSI to knock the shine off, then rechase all the threads, box her up, and Bob's your Uncle...

Tim, as simple as this thread is, it's fun to see the progress. That aluminum is starting to look too good to be real! :-)

Thanks Jim,
The weather has been most of the limiting factor on this one. Even with 2 inline water filters if it is too humid the glass beads just ball up and won't go through the nozzle...
