Technical Little tips and tricks for garage hobbyists.

Maybe, if was a Chevy

 

I'm going to dig through the dead ****** pile. That doesn't sound like I meant.

 

"Then there is the ultimate bathroom sink for any Redneck garage.. (But I think it should be a urinal)"

Don't see why it can't be both.

 

I had a friend who always complained that his wife was too lazy to wash dishes and when friends came over he hated that they had to pee in a sink full of dirty dishes! HRP

 

I've played drillpress Russian Roulette too many times. Have a vice, and a stud but am often in too much of a hurry to clamp something properly. Have had more than a few items bind up in the drill bit and swing, mostly harmlessly, sometimes destroying the piece. Smart enough to keep my fingers away, but too stupid (or lazy) to clamp.

Saw your photo of the clamps, and bought a pair from eBay. Cheap, and delivered quick. They are a real gamechanger, and so fast to use.

Thanks man.

Now I can say I've seen it all, but I hope that transmission has a good filter!

 

fat girl? your really gonna need a longer handle, with one that short your gonna end up with only one cheek on it, there by cutting the weight advantage by half. course worse thinks can happen, but I dont want to go there. so use your imagination if you dare.

 

This filter vvvvv

 

It has a breath mint !

 

Have you ever heard "Beer Can Bob" by Gary McMahan? He lost his cowboy hat in his new lady's flank loading her into his 4x4 Mustang.

 

what make transmission filter has a breath mint in it?

 

Now I understand why they put their chew in the urinal. They are just trying to get the flavor back.

 

This thread took an ugly turn.

 

It will get back to its usual high standards in a few more posts, hang on.

 

See?

 

My one Snap On tool came in a box of stuff I bought at an auction.

HOWEVER; to get this back to tips:

I use a sharpie to mark the back of all my gloves with L or R. Working gloves, welding gloves, wood stove gloves, etc. I don't have to look to see the thumb to know which hand a glove goes on. Seems like such a small insignificant tip but I like it and keep on marking all my new shop gloves. btw; when I take them off I always lay them palm side down. That's a habit I've had for many years.

 

^^^^Think these are your slippers

Can I give the slippers two 'likes'?

 

Seasons greetings!

 

Hey, hang on a minute....... even they are marked wrong.

 

Good tip. Now I just need enough space to lay dow a pair of gloves.

 

The lettering seems to indicate that those slippers would be put on by someone other than the owner/operator. From the user side the lettering is upside down.

 

Another glove tip: keep your gloves in a ziplock bag. It keeps the spiders and other varmints out of them. Particularly useful down here, where the wildlife is antisocial.

^ This...and hornets camped out inside your ear muffs

 

Mud daubers..never saw one..just a nest appear overnight...

 

I always take my gloves and squeeze and twist the **** out of them, fingers too before putting my gloves on just in case there is a little fellow hiding in them.

Keep my face masks, new gloves etc in plastic bags to keep critters out of them...

...

 

As for keeping those masks and gloves safe
Probably a good use for all those empty coffee cans you can't seem to toss.

 

I have a problem with coffee cans, cant seem to toss em either. drained some oil in one today and thought dump it in the used oil container then wash it out with a little gas and save it, then realized how many of them I have laying all over with nothing in them, what the hell am I saving them for? Habit I think or maybe I just dont pay attention.

 

Tin cans? Remove the top & bottom. Cut the cylinder lengthwise & flatten them. They make great shingles. Whole towns were made of them in the mining days.
