I built shelves yesterday to get some saws organized in the storage half of the shop and get a few off the dirt floor on that side. End of the day I realized that there were still saws in the work space with out a shelf! Need more shelves.....

Speaking of skunks... A buddy of mine out in Maine says they love bananas! So if you want to trap them, bait with those. I guess coon don't like them, and supposedly they're poisonous to them so you don't have to worry about getting a coon in your skunk trap and missing the skunk.

Yep skunks love bananas ! But you have to get them out of that trap ! LOL I just try to hit them away from the house , far as possible ! LOL

I'm pretty sure that the coons up here eat bananas to no ill effect , the type of trap or the swimming lessons is usually hazardous to their health .

I was always told they would kill a coon ? We had 4-5 pet ones over the years. LOL Fun till they get full grown , then they got to wild ?

hrumph !

If the bananas would work we would have a banana shortage up here . Because of green bin recycling the people that live in the suburban areas are not enjoying the over abundance of these cute and fuzzy little critters LOL

Interesting. I haven't tried it yet. I got 2 skunks last year in my coon traps, and coons when I was trying to get skunks. Damn skunks were stalking me when I'd go walking in the woods.

Anyone have advice on what to use for abrasive blasting magnesium?
I have only used sand in the past (real good respirator!) and although I blasted a bit of a mac with it, it seemed a bit too aggresive to the mag....

My dad hinted at getting me a bench top blasting cabinet for christmas, and I was wondering what I should fill it with?

Thinking glass beads?

Maybe use some of this heavy duty automotive paint stripper I got from the industrial supplier before blasting?

Baised on what the can says, it seems like tal strip in an aerosol can. Methylene chloride based.


I have some of this prekote stuff for prepping the mag for paint. Its what they use for prepping mag and alyminum aircraft parts. I figure if its good enough for air canada, and united, it should be good enough for an old saw.

I also grabbed a can of etching primer.

Should be good to go for that big mac?

Never even seen a wood duck out here?

If they taste half as good as they look, it should be a real good meal!
