    Another Tool Whatzit....

    Hit some Estate and Garage sales today. The first is a ????? You tell me. The hole has threads inside, possibly 1/2" coarse. The second I grabbed from a box of misc junk. Thought it was a novelty paperweight or something. A co-worker said it looks like the real deal and could be live. Shake it...

    Garage Safety? Oops, I'm a dummy.

    Co-worker used to flash his fake Rolex......till he got next to a +12 vdc post on an alternator in a Freightliner.

    First time 20-ton press usage - FAIL!!

    The first time I heard the gun go off, I stopped and safety'd up. And a street sign won't stop a bullet zjrog, so better armor is needed. I use a much thicker plate and a face shield I made from 1/4 thick clear on mine. (once in the * CAUTION GRAPHIC * thread is enough for me).

    Hanging a Chain Hoist from Truss? Thoughts?

    See that 3" knothole in that 2x6 single runner crossing the span of the framing? No? It'll be easier to see when it's at ground level. Makes for a big mess. But at least you'll get a 'Farmer's Insurance' commercial out of it! Seriously, get a cherry picker, fold up, out of the way when not in...

    Do You Love The Sound of Music or Do You Enjoy The Silence?

    I have tinnitus so I hate silence. I always always have music or talk radio playing in the garage. My wife complains about the volume so I use wireless headphones, but the battery in them requires recharging too often.

    Is this really bad for the garage door? Or not a worry?

    Definitely get that fixed! Don't do it yourself - get a door tech to do it. Short pay the rockers by the amount it costs you. And personally, the rock job job they did looks sub standard even for a garage. :willy_nil

    Left hand thread light bulb socket

    Just start them from the other side. They will function backwards though. OFF=ON, ON=OFF but you'll get used to it. Physics is very forgiving.

    Fax machines

    I did much the same thing often to fax spammers. I'd make 10 copies of black pages, then make a loop with tape. Set it for send, sometimes doing it several times a day. The new machine here doesn't do loops, so sending 100 faxes of black pages was my fun for the day.

    Ideas for organizing my garage mess

    After watching Cody on the Wranglerstar Youtube site, his methods of learning reorganization helped me quite a bit. Basically, do a little bit at each walk around the shop and it will be better in time. Read some books on hoarding disorders and how to learn to let go of things. It's an...
