Made a serving platter out of a pine stump I found, about 18 1/2” diameter, 1 1/2” thick. Filled the cracks/checks with black epoxy then stained, covered with clear epoxy and placed on a lazy suzan base.
Flattened using a home made jig.
Maybe the blower motor. Put a long screw driver on it and the handle to your ear (or a mechanic’s stethoscope if you have one) and listen for the noise. It’s under the expansion tank.
Currently it is secured to the rear panel with T-nuts, I’ll probably also put a couple nutserts at the top corners under the plastic panel. It is powder coated steel.
Today I gave the bed a little love:
Step 1: Wash
Step 2: Mothers California Gold clay bar
Step 3: DA polish with Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze 110 compound
Step 4: Avalon King Armor Shield Lite fast ceramic spray
Feels like glass and looks even better in person. Before and after:
