As a teenager from the 70s, the required response is "Dave's not here". 🥴

Maybe they figure it'll overheat & shrink that tube on its own.

We've had our best success with "Tuffy" brand toys. In a moment of pure frustration I payed more than I thought reasonable for a dog toy. But I was getting desperate. It's been over 2 years & I haven't had to replace one yet. The price seems more reasonable today since they have survived so...

I was given these for my birthday. And have found the little one very handy.

Checking locally tonight, El Monte has no more. Monterey Park CA shows 3 sets at $53.

Thanks for the heads up. 👍 Nice set. 1/2 drive deep impacts 3/8 to 1-1/2" by 1/16 increments all the way thru. Large clear markings for old eyes like mine. 🤓 Yeah, some of my stuff is old enough to still use SAE. It took some hunting to find a store with any left. Found them at El Monte, CA for...

What a great shot! Needs to be published somewhere.

Very cool. Having your nephew give it to you makes it even one more cool.

Yes. This. ^ My set up was short term & far more function than form. It hung from support to support, kinda like that pic, but didn't have those drapery looking folds. That was the closest pic I could find, but was prettier than what I did. At the time I never thought there'd be a reason for...

I did a temp setup with painter's tarps as walls & ceiling. Cheap at HF. Ceiling wasn't flat like drywall. But stopping airflow to maintain temperature was the point, not perfection. The ceiling was sort of draped between supports like this pic found online. But instead of exposed supports, I...

I posted a pic of a politician who shall remain unnamed & a muppet who shall also remain nameless. I thought they looked alike, which I thought was funny. I made no comment for or against said politician. Got me banned for a month.

@Strouty I have suffered from positional vertigo. In my case it was at its most unnerving when standing on a ladder & looking up. Yeehaw. Never fell, but found myself hanging on for dear life. As it got worse getting out of bed even set it off. I've tried the Eppley Manouver without results...

Is it positional? Like moving your head can get it started?

We've got the burn-in laquer sticks at work too. Good product depending on the situation. This is the 3rd job where I've been the touch up guy. The 1st was right behind you in 1980. Not usually required at the current job, but every once in awhile it comes up on some old furniture. Most often...

Minor repurposing here. This is my wood touch up kit. Almond stick & stain markers center left. Wax sticks center right. Stain & glue brushes center center. Assorted stains around the perimeter. The repurposed tuna cans sitting in front fit in a bin. Used to hold glue for brush application...

I have one of these 4x chargers & love it. Much more expensive, but it also converts 4 batteries back to 120v...

Aces are actually independant franchises, who buy as a large group. They like to look like corporate stores, but each has its own owner who makes the call as to what they carry. It's why stock can vary so much store to store. Some (South Pasadena here) of them take on the old hardware mindset of...

Sounds good. Makes me think of some of the T-moulding from my bench top making days. https://www.outwater.com/search?keywords=T%20moulding

Very nicely done. Looks fantastic. Years ago I built a folding workbench for my garage. The legs were too long to easily fold under if the top was hinged down, so the top was made to fold up instead. The hinged legs just hung there. With a 2x4 on the wall to space out the hinges & give...
