Take it to your local golf driving range. Set it out about 20 yards. Sell tickets at 3/$10. Use it for "Closest to the hole" meaning it's gotta go inside. Funds go to local charity. The winner gets bragging rights and picture on the clubhouse board.

Chasing down an electrical drain of the f250. Still haven't figured out where it is. I'll have more time tomorrow so I can dig deeper into the mystery

What did we do before oil resistant gloves and paper shop towels? Oh Wait, I remember. It was tons of the old blue and red cloth shop towels that had to be washed out by hand in the 5 gal bucket, then rinsed, then put into the washing machine. And after that I still caught the flack from doing...

Question for all the old timers. These pins were found in a carpenters tool box. Does anyone know what they were called and/or used for?

Went in, pulled out my brides DD and started to set up the work bench. Butane header went puff't and stopped working. Heater head is shot. So put stuff away, pulled the DD back into the garage and went back inside.

The manufacture is long gone. Grizzly makes a rack and rings for a bench top model that works. I used them when I did not have room for the floor model setup I had to buy the entire post, rack for bench top length and the bottom and top rings as a set. It was several years ago so I'm not sure...

These are a great drill press. I've had mine since the late 1970's and have used it for all manner of wood and metal projects. They were originally marketed under several different names but still the same manufacturer. The chuck is a usually a Jacobs chuck and will take a couple of different...

Crazy week. Two days before Christmas eve the oven goes out. Motherboard is no longer available and appliance repair shop says after market stuff is unreliable. Too much money for a 20 year old unit. So, the bride says lets get rid of the single oven, micro wave and warming drawer and get a...

Love the sled on the luggage rack. Nice touch

I have the same tool box. I bought it as a set when I was in High School. It was my first tool set complete with sockets, open and boxed wrenches, screw drivers and Hex wrenches. Still Have the box and tools but have lost the upper tool tray over the years.

Pulled out the pressure washer and changed oil. Tomorrow is cleaning off the driveway and front entrance sidewalk in prep for the upcoming annual neighborhood chili cook-off.

Took my brides broke spring curling iron to the garage and replaced the spring. Does that count as "in the garage", or even as a repair. She is happy though so I guess I'm okay.

I don't know your SIL, but I'd like to schedule a 4day date with your shop. :eek:

Finished setting up my brides IKEA shelves. OOPs, they cover the electrical outlets. So out to the shop, 97 degrees inside, and get the electrical tools and stuff to raise the plugs and back into the house and AC. Gotta say I hate these 100+ degree days.

I actually was successful at assembling a IKEA shelving unit for my bride. It came with instructions that were good and all the required parts were included. I think I'll go buy a lottery ticket. See if the good luck holds.

In my case it is seldom the product but me as the user. If I don't mess it up at least once I feel deprived of experience.

Our church is refurbishing a former classroom for use as a Community Room for students and their families. Started building shelf supports and refinishing shelves in the shop Easier to work here than in the parking lot of the school.School starts on Thursday.

Helped my son remove the faulty after market air bags on his Canyon. Once we had them off I pulled them apart. Pure trash. The mounting brackets were mismatched and mounting holes forced the bracket out of alignment with the frame. Truck drives/rides better.

Into the garage, turned off the water main and got plumbing tools. Into the bathroom and removed single handle shower faucet handle and valve. Replaced valve with new Kohler parts and then polished the brushed nickel finish. Took the tools back to the garage turned on the water and no leaks...
