  1. Steve I have found another technique for smoothing drywall mud that does not involve sanding. use a damp sponge and use it like a sanding sponge, it dampens the mud and allows for the smoothing but creates less dust. just have to allow for drying time after you are done. Just be careful to not get the sponge too wet, damp is best.

  2. Looks very good, interesting techniques, impressive. How long does your track stay clean with all that dirt and foliage around the track?
