navypoppop Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I had one of these type edgers and gave it to my son when we went full time rving. It is a Craftsman with a Briggs&Stratton engine. It does a fine job on edging like your photo shows your "clean shave" on your lawn. I swear by them for trimming and better than a weed wacker turned sideways. Every new season I would clean, replace the oil, new spark plug, new air & fuel filter and new blade and we were good to go. The concrete sidewalk or driveway would play hell on the blades though if you keep getting too close. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-556920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 Yes, as I mentioned I have two of them I was going to buy new blades for both of them couple weeks ago at Home Depot. They did not have any or I couldn’t find them, but these days I notice lawn service people are using a different type like I said I don’t know how you can get a straight cut with them, .. bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-556953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 17 hours ago, mowerman said: Looks like the time to start shaping it up. Or about that. You may be using a side grinding wheel with a corner grinder at the 1st stage. Way not that smooth as an orbital sender but much more progressive. Just get off one small spot and make a check out with a ruler or so. Than get to a neighbouring area if needed. Possibly is working with an orbital sender a bit to see big hills than grind them off with a grinder and do a test smooth up with the orbital sender again. And so on. Sorry for the spiders to be killed. I sure mean much more sorry for the time killed on that deal. I don't know though if they're poisonous or not. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-557215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Ingenious suggestion I have a DA and an orbital and high speed grinder was very heavy, sanding disc and yes, we have a bunch of black widows having their way here and there.

mowerman Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Over to mention, I also have an air operated DA sander and a body file which will probably be using a bit towards the end of coarse thats a ways off Bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-557218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 Plus a hand sanding board for the final probably mainly for Phil or primer. We were talking about with Dean. I’m sure I’ll be using that somewhere along the line. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-557219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Does this no fiberglass require gel coat ?

mowerman Posted August 18 Author Share Posted August 18 well, the gel is probably what you’re talking about fiberglass resin I was gonna try to work on it a little bit tomorrow but I think it will be Friday to pick up 36 grit sand paper. I will probably get it tomorrow but I got too many things going on. Tomorrow Also Friday off with no plans so I’ll probably continue early that day and thanks for your interest Paul lol bob 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/37/#findComment-557257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mowerman Posted September 7 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 7 Special thanks for you Mecho!!!!! My head exploded when I read your post on deans tread I think I’ll be shaping some of the fiberglass tomorrow morning photos coming soon ….
