If you really want to know if your waterproof glue, really is waterproof, just stick a dried brush in some water.

Let it sit for an extended time in the water and see what happens. This one was in water for about 2 months.


If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

A close up of the brush. You can see, it's still nice and dried, just like the day I put it in there.

I took the sawhorses and cut the tops on an angle with my portable saw.

Here's almost what they will look like when assembled.

Yes, I know the tops are not quite level. I had the bottoms too far apart when I took the pic.

When they are folded up, they will look something like this, and reasonably flat when set up to use.

Nope, we are just fine. No relapse. Thanks. Planning on continuing the work.

I was working on the sawhorses tonight, and had a slight mishap.

No, I didn't remove any body parts.

I applied a little too much pressure while using the router, and ruined the bit I was using.

Time to go the store tomorrow for another one, so I can finish these puppies.

Lol. Well, at least no serious damage was done. Just a momentary delay, in addition to a bunch of others along the way.

Just part of the process, I guess.
