My David Gilmour Black Strat Replica
This is my attempt to create a clone of David Gilmour's iconic Black Strat. I started with a new unpainted alder body and then proceeded from there, painting, recreating the wear, as best I could, and selecting all the proper components right down to the functioning mini toggle switch. Here is a rundown of the components:
Body: Unfinished Alder SSS from Gutarfetish. Modded as seen in video.
Paint: Black nitrocellulose over partial sunburst.
Neck: Classic Series 50's Fender Stratocaster. 7.25 radius, soft v, 21 frets, maple, spaghetti logo
Tuners: Fender (can't remember exact model)
Pickguard: Custom Shop black single ply
Pickguard screws: Fender Roadworn
Knobs: Fender (relic'd by me)

Cast Iron Pan Review: Wal-Mart Ozark Trail vs. Lodge

Mrs. Self Medicated Rec and I hit one our favorite camping spots in Idaho to relax and do some fly fishing for rainbow trout. Recent rain had turned the rivers into a raging torrent of chocolate milk but the discovery of a beaver pond full of gorgeous brook trout saved the day. Dry fly action, streamer fishing, and nymphs all did the trick.

      @selfmedicatedrec7361 Месяц назад

      Thank you. I agree. Most artificially worn fretboards are overdone. The fretboard took several days. I practiced on a cheap neck off a junk guitar until I found a method that resulted in a natural look. The system I came up with was this: I sprayed a very thin coat of nitrocellulose lacquer and let it dry for a day, then used 1500 grit sandpaper to gently sand it away in the wear areas. Then another very light coat of lacquer and more sanding. Kept repeating that for several days. The key is super thin coats - no more than a dusting, and gentle sanding with a very fine grit and very little pressure. And patience. Then to make it look like it had been worn for a long time, rather than just the freshly sanded tan wood, I thought about what makes it look kind of grey. Oil from the fingers and years of residue. I put a tiny, tiny bit of oil on my finger (barely any) and rubbed ash from a pipe on my fingers. I gently rubbed the sanded areas with that over and over, wiping it all off each time. Eventually it took that greyish color, little by little.

    If you are going to keep the Chinese pan, you can sand it out like I did to my lodges! Now paper towels don't get ripped and leave itself all over the pan! It doesn't take too long to resurface them,vand if you do the Chinese pan, you may want to do the same to the Lodge! As much as I hate Chinese pans if you sand it smooth, the inside, and leave the Lodge rough, then your Chinese pan will perform better than your Lodge.

We lived in it for 6 weeks straight this summer and outdoor temps were over 100 at a lot of places we were at during that time, Up to 112 degrees. My wife really likes it cold and we had no problem keeping it cold. That being said, that meant either being hooked up to shore power or running the generator but it definitely was cold enough. Also, the insulation is not great in this camper, so it had to run a lot.

From vulcanized rubber to neoprene, to top shelf bootfoot "pro" waders, to cheap Clearwater Orvis breathables. I am not a wader snob. A cheap pair of Caddis or Columbia are fine by me. I don't find much difference in terms of value of lifespan. These current ones are comfy and dry and roomy enough to layer under. With that generous cut comes a tradeoff: My only complaint is that they are cut too big to fold down and wear as waist-high waders. In my experience you have to have them pulled all the way on with the suspenders on. Fine when it's cold but this tie of year when the water is 50 degrees and the air temp is 110 degrees here, it is not great.

Front jack replaced twice, some frame to body supports bent and cracked, water leak at kitchen faucet, roof leak at front top where cap and roof meet, (caulking was cracked and had torn away) two of the tire rims cracked, and two of the tires separated. (Tire manufacturer and Rim manufacturer warranty the bad tires and rims) They also replaced the spare time and rim in case it was a bad batch. Like you my plastic end caps came loose where I store my stinky slinky. I drilled a small hole into the metal tube and cap to keep the plastic caps from coming off. I remove the screw to remove the cap when I have to remove my stinky slinky. I made a mount I installed on the back of a solar panel and set it on my propane tank when not using my trailer while parked. You can buy the cable to hook into the solar control box to the side of the trailer. I will still be using it for years to come still. The slide out really opens up the square footage. I have stayed in it for two to four weeks. I sleep better in it that the two thousand square feet house I live in. Weird? Get out and enjoy your trailer often. (Side note: I watch : I ride tiny House Adventures) they have a meet up in Missouri in June. Their were over 165 in attendance at the last meet up in October in Alabama.

    About 5 months ago I picked up a 6 inch ozark trail on clearance for $1 at Walmart. The sharp roughness of the pain was impressive. I didn’t even attempt to cook on it. It was so bad that it would scratch your skin running your hands across it. I decided to spend an hour resurfacing it. Starting with 60 grit and moving to 120/300/600/800/1000/1200 and got a good polish on the whole thing. Then seasoned it 4 times. I will say it’s now my favorite egg pan. It’s completely non stick. It preforms like my very expensive vintage skillets and because of the price I don’t worry about it. It stays in my kitchen for eggs and goes with me when camping. Knowing what I can do with them with a little work I decided to buy a whole set to leave in my camping gear and I love them now. Very cheap way to get an entire set of cast iron that performs like high end cookware with a little effort up front.

Then i took a brick and sanding stone from the dollar store and sanded it for a hr and it's pretty smooth now. Eggs slide around, but the base was ass! Still no idea how they haven't automated sanding them yet though.

    I have them and they get so much water and sand very heavy with the long use

      They are either too big for you or you need waders with a gravel guard or gator built in.

    I have used the used the Ozark cast iron for a few years now. it think its fine as a cast iron. the only things that concerns me that its made in china and the may have cut some corners to make it cheap, and there a black paint coating that strips off. wondering if thats a concern.

      Don't worry, it's China. They most likely seasoned the pans with lead-based stove paint, like they try to get away with on everything else they send to the US.

    Do you think this would be a good trailer to full time in year round?

      Great question. Most people would tell you, no. It is a 3 season trailer. The water system is not protected from freezing. Most people would probably like a little more luxury and amenities. However... if I could convince my wife to be full timers, I would do it in this trailer. I'd rig out the truck for extra storage and then be a sun chaser. I'd just spend the winter in AZ etc. I'd probably swap out the batteries for Lithium Ion and add a solar array plus an inverter. Of course, if you were going to spend most of your time in campgrounds, that would be unnecessary.

    They put the ozark trail skillets on sale at my local Walmart. I purchased the three remaining 7.5” for $3 and the last 10” skillet they had for $7.73. I plan on taking an orbital sander to them to smooth them out. I’ve also heard that soaking it afterwards in white vinegar will help the new seasoning stick.

    Great video - we may be buying the exact same one. I was really curious - what is the coupler height? Want to know where I need to put my hitch ball. Thanks.

      Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad the video is helpful. Unfortunately wont be able to help you with the hitch height. I will be separated from truck and trailer until this summer. 😥

    Just ordered a Fold- N-Go after watching numerous video reviews. Other reviewers have mentioned the lack of burner control and the knobs "self adjusting" to higher levels, on their own. Their solutions were: (1) remove the knobs and any excess packing grease behind them, then re- lubricate with something lighter. (2) Place a small ,flat, cut piece of leather ( or rubber washer, etc.) behind the knobs to act as a friction plate, to help them hold the desired position. Sounded like great the solutions to the only issue with this stove, so I thought I'd pass it on.
