Working on the bed

Most of today was devoted to working on the lathe bed. Lots of Citristrip has finally cleaned off the grime and old paint. It's not too heavy to move around, so I'm able to turn it to work on it. I'm going to smooth out the sides and ends with body filler. I tried a lot of stuff. Bondo does not stick reliably, but a lightweight filler from Napa works okay, as does the USC Body Icing. I sanded the sides, then applied a coat and have been working on getting it smoothed out. It should give a mirror finish when I'm done.
