Came out looking swell!

I am waiting for the weather down here to stop being 36-40 degrees so I can paint the Stalwart

I feel your pain. I can manage a couple of hours sanding, but even with the space heater a few feet away, the workshop
isn't warm enough for painting. Temps here have barely been above freezing (Fahrenheit) for close to a month.

You know he's talking Celsius, right, Doc? ???

So, far end of the spectrum from freezing. ;)

I figured, but the conversion, while a little warm (I spent 40 years in Texas) should be good for painting... ???
Anyway, it is still a great looking build.

Well, 97oF-104oF isn't the best temperature range for paints to be sprayed in, but if BT is painting in a shed then you can add an easy 10oC-15oC without much effort (so, up to 122oF-131oF).

Plus, some people react differently to heat than I - That's my kind of temperatures! ;)

Or laziness... don't forget laziness.  :smiley:

I do build in a shed, pretty well insulated, but getting excuses not to go out are getting easier as I get older.
