OK,
Knowing this guy will live outside & looking to protect him I painted him with 20 year latex house paint. The color was so close to the wood color you couldn't tell it was painted. Then I hit it with a brown glaze, ragged it off & stood him up.
The one on the right fell off his log a month ago.
With no treatment he turned gray, got moldy & rotted from the inside out.
Seeks, Think this guy could hang with the boys in the Bog?
Jerome,
I wasn't so concerned with how it looked as that I could make it work.
I glued the axis pin in it. That made it an EZ install but now it can't be serviced.
Also, the bullet latch is a nice touch but, if I made another one I would use a pin and corresponding holes to line it up.
Thanks for the lesson.
