A heel cut of Dead Camel, still needs more work but winter is here and about froze my fingers today.
I thought hot water in my sprayer would help but it did not. Don't have heat in garage so it makes it
a little tough working in water.

Your cab looks great! It also looks like it's floating in the air. Is that an optical illusion?

I like it! Looks great! How high of a grit did you go?

Good looking cab! Hard to work with frozen fingers.

Very pretty! Just hearing about working a cab in the cold makes my fingers hurt.

Good looking cab! Hard to work with frozen fingers. Also found out super glue don't like the cold either. Want back out to do a little bit of work, bumped the stone on the table rock broke off dop stick. Now need to let rock warm up and re-glue. |

I like the look. Now I'm wondering if some sort of dop mount (double-sided tape?) might be worth exploring for taking photos for selling online...

That is a nice cab. Can relate to the cold fingers.

That cold draught that whips around the wheels is the real cause of cold fingers, I built my sanding setup with a gap at the bottom of the back guard, really to help with cleaning up but it actually slows the wind down and blows most of it out the back. I have a standard setup grinder and it is much colder to work on than the separate sander machine. Yes I use hot water too but as you say it doesn't help a lot. |

Looks great!
Can you set up a heater or maybe a hair dryer to help yourself out?  |
