I figured smalls. Pulleys, Valve covers , Air Cleaner etc.
Smalls, huh?. You sound like Hoppy. But you are correct. I have only done smaller things in powder coat including maybe lower or upper control arms and things smaller than that, including bolts

I had a large sandblast operation years ago 40 Hp watercooled Sulair compressor with 300lb hoppers. Did everything from 20 ft beams to cars.
I actually sold the upright cabinet to a former member here from Oklahoma and delivered it .
Oklahoma Car Collector if my mememory still works.

I have a steering column I'm rebuilding, and a dash frame
I may do those. I can get the column in the oven. Dash frame may be an issue,
 
The dog is here..

I'm never drinking alone
You want dogs we got em! How’s this for spoiled rotten! And yes I still don’t have door knobs on exterior doors yet. Had to get em painted first! We are still painting and caulking trim. DIY just plain sucks some time! But at least we are moved out of the shop And into the big house! I figure someone gets past the K9s they can have whatever they can haul! Don’t need no stinking door knobs.

No door knobs is better than ones that just fall off - been watchin Green Acres lately. Love that show
 
We are actually making some paint progress. And on serious note with the amount of window glass a locked door is just kind of funny for security. I got overruled during design phase. She was good with creating choke point at access with narrow bridge over creek, she was fine with dog leg in road to impede speed of approach, she was fine with high ground covering approach, but when we got to corner turrents on the house and gunslot windows and she threw her boss card. And I quote” we are not going to live in a castle” end quote. Me, I just shrugged and said why not?

As long as the range markers and TRPs are in place..

:lol:
 
It was hot out today and I ran tractor with one arm all day. Gin and Ginger Ale for the win!
I'm ready to join the party...but still got maybe an hour to go. I'm in taking a break while the grapple truck finishes loading the trees and limbs we cut today. Already hauled about 800 gallons of wood chips to the woods. I need to haul the grass seed I have stored in the basement to the garage and ready to aerate and seed tomorrow. I also have a load of dirt ordered. I need to fill some low spots and the holes left with the four trees we stump grinded today. Sweat equity gotta love it!!
