Bridgeport Update 39 Body and Paint

Its been a long journey, tricky waters for sure, full of fun and learning, and if we can put on a few more miles, I think we'll make white fish bay.... Thanks to all that have been supportive! Soon we'll be making chips.

You're doing a fantastic job on the mill. Thanks for the update.

[@unknownapprentice625]

It's certainly not perfect, but I very satisfied with the results. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@chuirios365]

Over kill, but really love the out come!

[@unknownapprentice625]

I have been told in the past that I go overboard..., depending on who you talk to this may, or may not, be considered a good thing :). Thanks for watching and commenting.

she's going to be a beautiful machine. according to a friend of mine who workd in a rebuilding shop, they spend about 1/3 of their time scraping and 2/3 sanding and painting.

[@unknownapprentice625]

I can say with absolute certainty.... He tells no lie!!!! Mine is far from perfect but mannnn was it a bunch of work. Wouldn't have done it any different though. Thanks for watching and commenting too.

Nice seeing some updates to this!

[@unknownapprentice625]

Yes, some thought I gave up, just been so much sanding and filling... Soon assembly! Thanks for watching and commenting - keeps me going!!!

[@ROBRENZ]

Nice! Never though about using a needle scaler to get rid of old machine putty/paint. ATB, Robin

So your sayin I might have just shown you sumting??? Thanks for watching, sorry I missed this comment. Thanks

[@jamesjinks8080]

Holy crap! Good to see you back! Thought you might have run off to the beaches of southern France with a model named Randy - never to be see again except on the seats to the side of fashion show runways! Oh... nice to hear your thoughts on the 'bodywork' for a mill. ;) Jim

@@unknownapprentice625 ROFL I can image the eurotechbeat pumping out of the speakers in your garage right not.... lol... any update on the parts for the oiler system?

[@Engineerd3d]

That mill is going to look like a piece of jewelry. I would be almost too afraid to use one once your done.

[@unknownapprentice625]

Thanks for the compliment, it looks a bit better on screen than in real life but I'm very pleased. The "not using" thought has crossed my mind so I may take a page out of a book I read and whack it with an ice pick once assembled, just to ensure I do use it! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@beckostudio]

I tought you have up on it! But no!!! Thank you for the video!

[@unknownapprentice625]

Oh there's been days.... but it was a big push to get paint applied before labor day weekend. Thanks for hanging around and watching.

[@bcbloc02]

For a cold climate there isn't much insulation in those walls! Won't be long till assembly now!

[@unknownapprentice625]

The walls are another "project" that's been on the back burner -maybe next year! Did want a clean corner for the mill, to start with anyway, so I have been doing some cleaning and REarranging too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@BNSFfan1996]

Yeah... I really gota repaint my mill...

[@unknownapprentice625]

Would not recommend it!! LOL 😊. Go for it, it’s been fun to challenge my painting skills. Thanks for watching and commenting.
