Hmm.. thinking... they used to make off-pavement roller blades with 6" (or larger) wheels. Those would be handy for casters that need to roll over rough stuff. Big wheel, little bump. Just took a look around the interweb. Looks like 200mm--~4 inch--is the largest. Still pretty useful.

Overhead rollers on a barn-style sliding door made by a local artist. I think those are actually roller skate wheels, but same idea. Lower guides use two more.

Another fifteen-minute job this morning. Only took two hours! I had to hang another air curtain over another door. Once again, I had to hang some extra, structural, trim above the door trim and so began another game of "find the stud". Of course, there's a stud either side of the door...

Not a bad solution for farm work. There should always be a kid to help out.

For water inside insulated walls, get a handful of aquarium air pumps--cheap--and some aquarium air tubing. Drill 1/4" holes in the drywall near the base, one per stud bay. Stick the tubing in the hole, attach to a pump and plug 'em in. The insulation will take about a week to dry, depending on...

Driving in Big Bend NP, TX in the summer, we'd recline under the truck and have a beer. Only shade for miles.

Two-man job? One on the shears and one on the work?

Yeah, I don't understand why vacuum bleeding would be easier. The pressure bleeder takes about a minute to set up, then just go from bleeder to bleeder--starting with the furthest from the master cylinder--bleed 'til clean and bubble-free and you're done. I've never seen nor used anything...

A click pen? A Bic lighter?

Aw, and here I thought it was a Stihlatinny rail for mounting optics on a line trimmer....

I have you beat: Mine were free--kind of. A former employer and friend left them to me. When he started ailing, he asked all his friends to make lists of which of his tools they wanted--he had no one else to leave them to--itemized by personal value. I think the Greenlee punches were #3 on my...

Because a hexagon was easier to lay out than a pentagon?

That is where I would look closely to see if it's actually B L. B & L did make safety glasses.

^You now have a food-grade ratchet!

I bought the same bleeder, but in the version that is supposed to come with the Toyota/Lexus adapter. It was the same as yours. I bought a kit that had caps that fit my Vanagon and '93 Corolla. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09P51LNQ4?tag=atomicindus08-20 Of course, the adapter kit cost more...

That's what they want you to think.... I grew up in the Willamette Valley, where we were informed that there were no buzzworms west of the Cascade range. Imagine my dismay when I took my first herpetology class and we went out to document rattlesnake dens just south of Oregon City. There are...

Except it's clearly B 1 in the picture.

^I'd take some vinegar or phos acid to those new pads to make them more closely match the patina of the old clamps.

You found the wrapper--where's the package?

Did some plumbing. I'll never call plumbing a "fifteen-minute-job". First I had to move a few things: That took pretty much all morning. Only broke one dish! Got 'er done: and done well. All the fittings are new; all the pipe is salvage. The standpipe w/tubes leading in (second...
