For the down, last weekend when mowing the lawn, the blade hit a low stump and bent the shaft. Costs more to repair than we paid for it. Time to get a new one.
fabricdragon, I have to thank you. Hagstoz (http://hagstoz.com/) is a perfect source for me to get the fine silver disks I need for enamelling. I'm going to have to let my laurel know about them!
Going to start up enamelling tonight. After the first outdoor grilled dinner of the season.
Going to try something a bit different. Only getting out what I'm working on, and putting it away at the end of the night. To try and keep the house cleaner.
