Thanks for reviving a 13 year old thread. My wedding ring was custom made but not by me. It used to look like a bunch of small randomly shaped gold nuggets formed into a ring. After 52+ years of wear, it looks like this today.

Same deal when a guy needs to use the dishwasher to clean car parts. 😎

I too am a big fan of Benjamin Moore. I like doing business with a professional paint store rather than a big box store or a hardware store. I usually use Regal. I get a small discount. But the real reason is customer service and knowledgeable sales people. They sell painting tools there that...

Lots of those were made by Columbian or the more premium Peter Wright. I don’t know how to identify brands based on general shapes of the details of construction.

It sounds like the folks now in possession of the collection, who run a business, want to sell it.

Me too. That’s another good reason to always carry a knife. A man never knows when he might have to cut something. Or make a fine line on a piece of wood or plastic prior to sawing.

Try this Rustoleum product. Use this and then apply porcelain enamel touch up paint. Rust reformer is a specialized chemical treatment that converts existing iron oxide (rust) into a stable, inert, and paintable surface. It eliminates the need to sand metal down to bare metal, chemically...

How can you guys tolerate lights that have to be replaced every year or two? Crappy plastic junk constantly flowing into landfills. ☹️

My Italian born mechanic back then was actually named “Tony” 😁

My American Scale Red Seal is a lot smaller. I used to have a NA Miata vintage 1990. Mine was white. Probably the most fun to drive car I have ever owned. Or at least tied with my 1973 Fiat 124 Spyder.

I’ve never tried a Snap On adjustable wrench but I have a vintage Proto adjustable that is noticeably better than my Crescent branded ones. But just for the record, I have a drawer full of metric and SAE sized combination wrenches.
