Back in August my husband decided we needed to replace the doors on our shed. So we removed the doors to use one as a template to make the new ones.
After buying materials, we got to work in the pole barn. Since I own all the woodworking tools, I was volunteered to help him build the doors. We did not have to do any router woodworking but we sure did a lot of nailing!
Well, you know how one job leads into other. The next step was painting them. I put a primer coat on by brush. Then we decided we should put a coat on the whole shed.
I took the easy way out and used a sprayer called the Earlex. It's a great new addition to the line of woodworking tools. After checking the viscosity of the paint, we were able to easily spray a coat on the doors and lightly coated the rest of the shed.
And while I was at it, the trim around the garage doors needed repainting.
So I got out my sanding supplies to see what I needed. One of the new woodworking accessories I tried out is called a scuff ball. It is brand new in the sanding supplies category at Eagle America.
I used it to get the paint off the trim around the garage doors. It hooks up to a hand drill and it actually did a good job taking the peeling paint off.
I decided to hand brush because of the siding so I put a primer coat on the trim and then brushed on the final coat.
It’s nice to have the right woodworking tools to do the job right but I really hope this job lasts a few years!
