Hi everyone. Accidents happen, don't they. Look what happened to our shed. There's a hole in the wall. I don't really know what happened but good grief, look at that hole! 👀 I don't want to have to replace the whole panel so we are going to patch it, but I don't want it to look patched, so we will patch it with something decorative. I am going to use Proxxon tools to fix this and it is going to look better than ever.
Looking around the shop for something to patch this with. Aha... I spy an old license plate and I know I can cut it easily using the Proxxon mini bandsaw so I drew a simple pattern onto it. I like sunshine so I drew a simple sun then cut it out using the Proxxon mini bandsaw.
The next challenge was to attach it to the shed wall. I don't think the siding on the shed would stand up to nailing or screws. Hmmm. I decided to cut a thin piece of wood and stick it to the inside of the wall and that would give me something to screw into. The picture below is just how I stabilized the wood while waiting for the glue to dry. This is inside the shed. The wood piece is covering the hole.
Next I used the Proxxon mini drill press to make 5 tiny holes in my sun's rays where I will insert the screws to fasten the sun over the hole in the shed.
I painted my sun with Plaid paints, let it dry well, then sealed it with krylon triple thick gloss sealer.
Off to the shed. I brought with me my cordless Proxxon rotary tool equipped with a small drill bit and predrilled my 5 holes through the sun, through the siding and into the plywood patch inside. Then I fastened them all down securely with screws. This little patch isn't going anywhere. I think it looks cheerful. and was a whole lot cheaper than new siding.
