Reminds me: What is the difference between white collar men and blue collar men? White collar men wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

Different, but the same. I inherited my wife's old clothes iron so I can use it on less than pristine things that need repaired. Pretty handy before I run something through my commercial sewing machine.

I'm bad with zip-ties. If I can get a small awl or my pocket knife into the catch, I will release them and reuse. If I have an excessively long tie I will wrap it 2-3 times then set it. I like this option on wiring looms and such things that if I need to open them up, I can cut under the head...

Does Vlad have a full set of patterns for the various model seats? After working in an upholstery shop during my college days, this guy has it down.

I took my daughter to Vegas for a volleyball function. We were amused when overhearing locals talk about what color rocks they have in their yard. Absolutely no grass, just a color palette from Mutual Materials I guess.

Mike, Suggestion for you, if you haven't done it already. What about setting up/helping fund a 529 for your grandkids? This way your ability to prosper from your talents can support your future generations. This might give a mental outlet while providing for future training, whatever that...

You have a welder. Everything is reversible. ;)

The funny part is, those are likely sold in multiples so if they lose one, they buy more.

Ford, GM and RAM have all offered up a diesel in the 1/2 ton chassis in the last several years. Thinking on similar lines to you, but these haven't really met my needs either.

F250 Ranger Green?

I'll be curious to see how the plastic treatment works as well. I had picked up some 303 to use on my fleet and it has mixed results on some quite faded trim on the kids Subaru.

Jeep looks good. Is there a need for a smaller diameter buffer for those narrow paint sections?

Looks like you need a cord protector (item #39) and then a cord (item #23). https://www.ereplacementparts.com/models/angle-grinder/milwaukee/id1272793/6140-30/ Good luck. Old tools should still have some life in them.

In the lower 48 we might refer to that as "First World Problems". In your neck of the woods, that might need to be downgraded a little bit. I'm sure it will turn out great when you are done.

I always appreciate Robert's "think outside the box" and his ability to modify something to make a tool. I was trying to think of a way to use a slide hammer to encourage the race out.
