More Needle Scaler Work

It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and that made it perfect for some more needle scaler work in the back shed (can't needle scale in the garage during the boy's nap time).

I tackled two of the biggest parts from the crawler - the track frames. They are about 5 feet long and weigh about 250lbs. a piece. They are made of heavy steel and are perfect candidates for the needle scaler. My compressor is still waiting for its parts so the process wasn't exactly fast. I would scale an 8"x8" section at a time and then the compressor would need to catch up. During this time I took my drill with a wire brush attached and went over the section I just scaled. It was a fairly efficient and effective process.
