First Tahoe City Show of 2013

 This is the view from my booth toward the lake.

This is what you see if you go past the booths.

Two weekends in a row here, so we'll be back

here on Friday. Our next stop is Homewood on

Labor Day Weekend.

A Bank For Cruz . . . Part 5

EEK!!! it's a monster .... not really. It's just me with my

protective mask on. Lacquer vapors are very dangerous

to breathe. With this mask on I can't ever smell the lacquer.

 Here's your bank with the bottom off after a couple of

coats of lacquer applied. I take off the bottom because

the lacquer will stick them together and it will be hard

to get the bank opened.

Here's a whole bunch of boxes being lacquered at the

same time you bank is being done.

Here's your finished bank again.

Here's my booth where Grandma and Grandpa picked

up your bank. Enjoy you bank, Cruz.

A Bank For Cruz . . . Part 4

When you take those four screws out on the

bottom and turn the bottom over this is what

you'll see. Those two "X's" are there to show you

that those two edges go together when putting

the bottom back on. 

Here are four banks ready to sand. Cruz, can

you pick out your bank? It's the one on the right.

This is what I sand it with. It's called a belt sander.

I will start with an 80 grit which in very course. I will

then use 150 grit, medium, and then 220 grit which is

fine.

Here it is after the sanding is done. I've decided to have

a part 5 which will cover the finishing the bank. I will be

brushing lacquer onto your bank.
