    I still have and use this for peeling taters. It's on the second blade. Nancy disavows any knowledge of how to use, so it gets used by me when we have a large dinner and she wants me to peel them.

    Try square opinions?

    I prefer Starrett machinists combination squares - I trust them more than any try square due to the try square's 2 piece construction that can be knocked out of square. The combination style with the rule drawn into square by the thumbscrew/bolt between two supports make it pretty hard to damage...

    Bob: How has the edema battle gone for you? I'm still trying to get some definition of the cause, saw a surgical specialist, her total comment was "You don't have blood clots or varicose veins, I see some irritation of the lymphatic valves in your veins, but not serious, surgery is not...

    Underground Lair of the Squankum

    I'm so old I've never worked on an SBC head with stock screw in rocker studs, although If I'd kept going in that direction with my one "built" 327, I'd have had to, as the valve springs I was using kept encouraging the studs to part company with the :rant:heads.

    New Bay Window: U-factor not met, Inspector says need new glass, will argon maybe meet new code?

    My first, second and third vehicle equipment violations when I was a kid, for Cherry Bomb mufflers on my 55 Cheby - I tried that argument with the Justice of the Peace when I was trying to get out of the tickets. Didn't wash with him at all.

    Paint Can Shakers

    The type Swsman shows is simple, no farting around with a sawzall. On the ones I've made, the base has a 3/8 bolt shank sticking out of the center, which you chuck in the drill. The tube is larger than the spray cans, which allows the can to go off center and really shakes it. 15 seconds right...

    I had a Atlas/Craftsman 6x18 given to me a number of years ago, complete with the countershaft speed reducer and the complete set of change gears. It had been left in a shed and the unpainted ways and other parts were covered in a light layer of rust. Twenty years later, I'm getting around to...

    July 18, 2006 When I went nuts... I could not get anyone to agree with me that the right hand door was not the same white as the center and left ones. I went back to the lumber company, they came out and looked, said they couldn't see it. I wasn't satisfied, they turned it over to their...
