Going, Going, Outta there!

CHECK IT OUT!

Wow, I went to change the oil for the upcoming boating season after having nothing to do during the off season and was getting all excited 'n such when the drained oil gave me a draining feeling!.......lookin' a lot like water in the oil.....again!

Being bummed to da max and not knowing what to do i drowned my blues with 3 pints of IPA at the S.C. Mtn Brewery.  Gave me time to think of possible solutions while commisserating with my buddies.  Then it struck me like the hot kiss at the end of a wet fist!!!......to be cont.

Back to steam bending

Steam bending unit

As previously mentioned, the Windshield was cut down to a lower profile.  Decide to add wood trim.  The wood had to be steamed to bend without cracking.  The setup pictured above worked pretty good....here's how it works:  take a length of plastic pipe with a diameter that will fit the girth of the wood you need bended.  cap the ends with aluminum foil.  run vinyl hose to the pipe from the 1 gallon paint cans that you can get at a reputable paint store (empty cans @ approx. $2.50 ea).  turn on the electric burners to high after filling the cans about a quarter way to the top and wait for the steam to rise up and saturate the wood for about an hour......take the wood out and - quick like a bunny - bend it to whatever mold or jig or whatever you have and there you go!
