Thank god its friday and time to relax and have some fun......

Ladder Racks almost done.....

So the ladder racks have been a project that the kid and I have been doing as a side job for the past week. And started as a good teaching job so that Coddy can get a little more knowledge under his belt. So all week on my free time I have been giving him pointers here and there. And it has just been fun to do. I think the kid has good chance of making it and with some more time be one of my better employes.

Ok, well I just wanted to give you folks a little insight on that and hope you all had a great week and thank you for your support.

Custom ladder racks almost there !

So the new kid grinded all week and here is where he is at. About 2 more days and I think he will have it completed.  My man Coddy !

    So I got the new guy at that the doing a little side project for me and he is doing a great job. I am having him make me some ladder racks for the truck and I have to say for someone that has never done any metal work before he is picking it up quick. With a great attitude and always on point I am a happy camper. So this one is for you Coddy GOOD JOB BUDDY !

   Well thats it for me tonight and hope all is well with everyone and check back friday to see how my man Coddy did on the racks.

How to polish like a pro !

      Here it is folks all in one thank you for being patient.

Step 1 : taking of the Mill

 Step 1- taking of the mill finish is vary importent when polishing stainless. If you do not get this step right you will fight it all the way till the end. So here is what you need to do first. You need to get out all of the micro pit's in the stainless by sanding them out. Grab some red 80' grit (ryhnostick) sandpaper and start sanding it of with a variable speed sander set it on fast. Once you get the surface completely   smooth and pit free you are ready to move on to step 2.

    Tomorrow there will be a video on how to do this incorporating step 2 so that you can see exactly how this is done. Here are some picture of stainless at mill finish. Hope this tip has been helpful and see you tomorrow with more.

Good things to have when polishing stainless steel......

Ok, everyone here is a list of the things we use when polishing stainless steel. Lets start from 80' grit and go up from there!
Getting to pre-polish:

Rhynostick- Red: 80'
Rhynostick- Red: 120'
Rhynostick- Red: 220'
Rhynostick- Red: 320'
Pre-polish:
Gold- 320' (add wax)
Rhynostick- 1,000'
Polishing:
Yellow sissall- white ruge
fluff buff- white ruge or purple
(depending on what you are working on)
Clean up:
white diamond-( rubbing compound )

And thats the formula folks ! Now let me say this a-lot of people use different color ruge's to skip on the sanding but I am going to show you how to do it with just white saving you money & time. And giving you a finish that is like no other ! So stay with me all this week and see how. Just to give you a heads up this formula is a trade secret so besure to check in every night for your next tip.  Ok, well hope all is well and we at Blue Diamond Metal want to say thank you and lets have a great week together.

Country club fishing did it agin !

Big day for the boys on the country club today ! These guys are just amazing and always having a good time on the water. Jim Barton & Sean Miller on the country club fishing charters out of Sea Sport marina . Just always put you on the fish ! Heading out of the jupiter inlet at 7am this morning with just a perfect sunrise. We set out for a day of fishing and what a day it was. If you ever get in the town of jupiter Fl, you just have to grab a charter with them. Jim finds the spot and Sean sets the mood. With his crazy antics and free spirited attitude Sean makes the day fun. And when your walking off the dock with a catch like this you know your going home to a nice dinner.  Here are some great pictures of the day and hope to have another just like it to-marrow.  

The Big Tow

So I did this tow-bridal and I have to say it was the biggest one ever ! It took about 2 weeks to put together and a lot of sanding & polishing. But the end result was just cool to say the lest. Well just wanted to give you something to look at. Hope all is well and live happy

.This was done back in 2013.

Canvas is on the top !

We just got the canvas done on the T-top and it looks great. We did it in an off-white color and it adds that perfect touch. Well just wanted to give you an up date. Hope everyone is having a great day !

Today is tuesday

The day is tuesday and it is about 70' down here in south florida. Making it another perfect day. We all are so lucky to live in a state that is like this 75 percent of the year. So I hope everyone liked the T.V. stand. And we are going to have something special tonight agin so be sure to check back in. Ok it the tip of the day. When you are welding stainless steel make sure that you make a jig to hold what ever you are trying to make in place. Stainless steel likes to move when heated more then most metal's so be sure you are ready for that.

 Well hope everyone has a great day on this fine tuesday and if you would like to see more of the stuff we do check out our web sites.
