What is that and what happened?

I work part time for a water vending company as chief mechanic the machine your looking at has been vandalized 4 times by the same guy. I'm just showing off my repair jobs before and after pictures, that took me away from my rod restoration. Sorry for the sideways picture I have no control over that.

[MITCHELL]

To play with, Epoxyed on. The blank would crack out before the knob comes off.
The next picture I post rod will be done ✔️
Stay tuned 😎

Mental and physical. And I like to make them both feel good 👍although I might have to get some tear drop tattoos for the lost ones, that Jaded me.....

On alot of great meet-ups.....I was going thru the worst turmoil of my life....I did catch the tail end tho.
I was like the high banks drifter that came in, at the end.

[MITCHELL]

Two products I used to restore my cork grips
Filler and sealer.

[MITCHELL]

To clean up the mess
Had to spin motor wide open to sand....
Slow was wobbly and fast as my motor would spin was smooth. You might say I put the wood to it....
I used alot of filler....one time got er done.

[MITCHELL]

To do....1in strip sand paper work good

[MITCHELL]

And sanding I vacuumed up the mess before applying sealer.
One time with the filler got er done

[MITCHELL]

Destroy my rubber finish ring at the end there is nothing I could replace it with.
Happy how it came out.

[MITCHELL]

Almost down to the blank
If you get back 5ft you can't even see the wood filler.
It looks better than these pictures show. They don't do it justice

[MITCHELL]

At bottom of cork, but I forgot to put it on before the gimbal knob butt.
I still might try but don't think the shrink tubing will shrink that small on the blank.

[MITCHELL]

You only need one coat of u-40 cork sealer.

[MITCHELL]

Holding the micro guides and then slide it up on to the blank, under the line. At your China mark. Give it a few wraps to hold it in
place.
Adjust straight 💯 with your tip and reel seat.
And finish wrapping

[MITCHELL]

I made. It makes for hands 🙌 free tension on the guide and l can wrap the guide as tight as i want.

[MITCHELL]

And Sunday 46% chance in Sandy eggo

[MITCHELL]

A couple of guides in the morning 🌄
And then jig holder and my spiral wrap.
And should be ready for flexcoat resin I'm going to coat the entire blank again with fresh flexcoat.
I didn't like the way the first coat dried
Alittle soft. Another coat will fix that
Stay tuned 😎
