RE: Crocksaw Puzzle - 11/13/2007 7:18:31 PM    kastoo   Posts: 1282 Joined: 9/7/2004 From: Lagrange, GA Status: offline I used duco cement (the kind in the green tube for gluing all kinds of surfaces) to assemble. I filled in all the cracks after shoving bondo in with my fingers.  I knocked the bondo off with a wheel that is supposed to be used knocking rust off.  I used a softer wheel that is brown and made like a tough green kitchen scrubbee to sand.  I also used a 3m contour sander sponge and a 3m fine sander sponge.  I probably spent 40 bucks on materials building this but so what.  I learned it can be done.  (in reply to CrewelaDeVil) Post #: 23

That's one way to bring history back to life. My kind of project. $40 isn't too bad either. I spend that on bad coffee every week. Lobey. (in reply to kastoo) Post #: 24

RE: Crocksaw Puzzle - 11/14/2007 12:48:40 PM    kastoo   Posts: 1282 Joined: 9/7/2004 From: Lagrange, GA Status: offline Yea Rhona?  How about a pic of what you got glued together?  EXCELLENT idea, waiting to find all the shards!  If my sorry butt had kept evry shard I found from the beginning I'd probably have a lot more of that big one...dern it I tossed quite a few until I found that 1st whole one, then I started saving.  If you and your hubby travel down this way stop by Lagrange and w'ell dig my dump...shoot even if I'm busy I'll let ya go dig it.

But hey it's a learning thing and the wife wants me to do it for her jug collection. Attachment (1) (in reply to kastoo) Post #: 31
