So, what did I do?
That's right, I started another project! I decided to sand the yard back to bare wood and re-varnish it. Why? Well, I've never been happy with the looks, which resulted from not getting enough epoxy into the f/g sleeve I put on the yard.
That speckled look annoyed me but it wouldn't sand out (well, it did today), additional coats of epoxy didn't change the look, and neither did multiple coats of varnish. The look is cosmetic but still I found it annoying.
Prepped for the shop or to go shopping? Well, today it was for the shop.
Using a Shinto Rasp/File/Saw and 80 and 100 grit disks on a pair of ROS, I was able to remove the varnish, epoxy, and F/G. I'll finish the sanding tomorrow with 120 grit and begin to varnish. It will take a while to apply enough coats of varnish but that is okay as the weather, good enough to varnish, isn't good enough to go sailing. I'll re-install the leather (and move it up the yard to where it will actually do some good)before the yard will be ready to go.
In other news, we (Jan actually) made progress on the name boards today! Photo-op on Gardens tomorrow.
