Heat shield retrofit on old table

Used some aluminum duct tape as a radiant barrier where applicable.  Aluminum plate to support the egg, bolted into shelf with SS bolts.  Finally a couple strips of brass with an air gap in the top hole.

"COOL" or is that term kinda obvious?

Question...5th picture down in that top left hand corner that gray base is typically the color DELTA uses...is that the back side of a DELTA band saw or what?

That’s a central machinery disk/belt combo sander.  I do have some big delta tools

Looks great Carey

That is a great-looking table. Nice work!

Carey - perhaps you explained this already in an earlier thread, but please explain how you painted or etched the designs on your table.

I like the air gap on the ring around the hole. I've only seen that on two other  wood tables before. That's a simple thing I would want to see on any wood table.

Ron, I used a laser and black paint and epoxy

oh boy...Did I even tell you I would give my left nut for that garage and tools in it?

Granted neither my left nor right nut work very well...but you get the idea of my seriousness!

Speaking of giving up a left nut, and frankly the benefits of cataract surgery, how is your dog doing?

Thanks for asking - yes he seems to be just fine - that night I put a pair of my Jockey shorts on him to control the bleeding or at least prevent it from staining the carpet ANY MORE and our bed covers. By morning he had managed to take it off, but it was so badly blood stained that I knew it had worked! 

Not really sure why the buffalo decided to delete it!

Guess I pissed off a cat lover or two! but at least my little son is ok...

BUT since I have always cut his hair then now if I even pick up "his sissors" he RUNS!...wonder why???

good to hear about the little one getting better. cuts seem to heal up better than punctures, i would have held out on the dr visit with this as well. witch hazel for cleaning, shave pencil to stop bleeding. good to have around for minor cuts for yourself and the dog. cheap insurance

nolaegghead

If you don’t feel comfortable applying stitches, suture strips are great to have around.  Not sure they will work if they’re the only thing attaching the balls….😜😂

Balls take forever to heal. When I had my vasectomy, which I posted a rather large story about here on the forum, they sent me home with a cork in the hole they used to do the procedure. Never seen the likes of it before. Took forever to heal though. But for like seven days my ballbag felt like a fine wine. During the procedure the nurse poked herself with the needle, and this is back in the days of the aids epidemic. I got a sort of frantic call from the head nurse, asking if I would take an aids test. Of course I went right away to get tested. I can't imagine what that nurse was going through for those two days until the test came back. First she had to look at the smallest ballbag ever, then she had to live with the thought that the smallest ballbag she ever saw, could be her demise. 

I kid, but I felt absolutely awful for her for those two days.

Wait, they made you take an aids test, but not the nurse?  Especially the head nurse??

Ybabpmuts

Yes I took an aids test. The head nurse was busy patching someone's head. She was using an old school method of chewing napkins and then gently spitting them on the head wound like a vespa wasp. It was something to see, for like three minutes I thought maybe I should poke a wound in my head, but then I saw her gag and a tiny piece of what I can only describe as molar meat came out and the smell permeated the air space, and there it was on this poor guys wasp head and he had no idea. Head nurses should get the molar meat out of their teeth before trying to heal heads like vespa wasps. I can't believe that isn't in some kind of head nurse manual somewhere.

@nolaegghead - Really nice looking work there.

@Ybabpmuts - Next time ask for a Head Cheerleader.

Ybabpmuts

I don't think they have head cheerleaders in the vasectomy ward, mostly because the head isn't involved in the procedure, and to be honest, my head is nothing to cheer about anyway. The only interesting thing it ever did was grow a single ingrown hair across the top of it once, and for weeks I pee'd like a shower head. The worst part is it tickled like you read about but the head just sat there and stayed the exact same size. You'd have to find a blind person to sit around and cheer on a head like that.

With your background, I would have thought you would know better than to set up a galvanic cell with the SS bolts and aluminum plate, not to mention the brass strips and SS hardware.  😎

Nicely done,
