Next hung a older 42” tv on wall that I just had sitting around. Ran cable also through the walls. But didn’t need to use it since it use Amazon fire stick for content.

Next came sanding and filling the drywall. Then primer and paint. I did add cabinets also to list. Since I was already remodeling my kitchen, I sourced the old cabinets from there. Cost $0 for the cabinets. https://i.imgur.com/1ojnRXD.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mCk1Fc3.jpg https://i.imgur.com/DMnfqYO.j...

I started with the outlet wiring first, putting all new outlets and lights in.

Here is the garage/shop room remodel. I did all the work myself to save on money and I needed the shop up and running in two weeks since I had a few jobs coming in. But got it to the state I was happy with for the time being to be able to work in. The garage was a mess like I was saying, needed so m...

Hopefully in August I can get back into the swing of things again. I did during this time upgraded some of my fabrication tools and added...

That's an older Polaris seat. If its just going to be a farmyard machine repair the foam bring it back to life and recover it. Yeah the guy just going to use it on his property for fun, it’s an old 86 Polaris . I’m just letting it dry out right now. If I use this foam, then I would just need to fil...

I would definitely look into replacing the foam, if going ahead with the project. Tricky part here is, did you already quote the job? What's the added cost? Can the customer replace the entire seat cheaper than having a new one made? A lot of those seats now have perforated vinyl so they dry out be...

What do you guys think about the seat foam, should I just replace it? Looks like mold to me.

Just use an air grinder with a 3" 80 grit disk. Grind out all the old bad foam. Glue a new peace of foam in place and use the grinder to shape the new foam. Marine vinyl will be best for that seat. Okay thanks. What type of foam should I get? Also I took the old cover off and I’m thinking the ...

Hey guys I’m going to be recovering this ATV seat and was wondering about how to go about fixing the damage foam? A few chunks are missing just need to know the best way to repair this. Also should I use marine vinyl to recover vs standard vinyl? Thanks https://i.imgur.com/aefyDH3.jpg https://i.imgu...

I really like it and it’s working out great. Will come in handy down the road when doing thicker materials when I’m done with the Practice stage. It took about 3 weeks to deliver from China. It was find for me since I wasn’t in a rush for it. Saved me $30. There are other sellers on ebay in the USA ...

Here is another idea. I was just looking at RamBoard on Amazon and saw this clear plastic self-adhesive carpet protector. This might work like clear vinyl with temp tack for making seat and door panel patterns. Or it might be too thin or too stretchy. Might be worth checking out, it would be pretty...
