    Electrostatic Painting?

    How bad are these lockers scratched up? Can we get a pic? Are the lockers functionally impaired, or is it just cosmetic? If I were in your shoes and it was cosmetic damage only, I'd tell the school to blow me. I'm not saying that as a sweeping rule, responsible parties should not be held liable...

    Ideas for transferring Waste Motor Oil?

    I am not advising this from a safety standpoint, but I will say that I have personally used this method (somewhat against my will) in the past. When I was 19/20, I had a summer job working as a delivery driver for a lawn mower shop. Fridays was local pickup/delivery day, and on those days I...

    New roof : Metal or shingle?

    I think everyone in this thread is forgetting the most important part- the quality of sleep during a rainstorm is increased ten-fold when under a metal roof. Look it up, it's science :dunno:

    lowes not selling the good tools!!!

    I have to agree. Not to mention, 9 out of 10 guys (read: NOT GJ MEMBERS) will be perfectly content to cruise the tool section in Sears.

    Red Wing boots = Experience

    I clean mine with saddle soap, and then use the mink oil paste. I haven't seen any problems as far as leather cracking.

    Red Wing boots = Experience

    Here's what I was talking about. You can see the difference in the leather between the shank of the boot and around the foot area. Second photo is what both soles look like, and third photo is a close-up of the sole of the right boot. I hope this helps.

    Red Wing boots = Experience

    For all you guys with worn-out Red Wings, watch this. Also, read this. You're welcome :thumbup: EDIT: For what it's worth, since June of 2012, I can probably count on two hands the number of days that I haven't worn my 202's. I bought them new (as factory seconds- there was a scuff in the...

    Garage from Scratch

    I think I'm in shock that there's a Freightshaker hauling in the UK. Big change from them ugly cabovers y'all run over there ;) As far as your shop goes, I'm more of a visual person, so I'm having a hard time seeing it in my head

    Beer bottle opener

    To the seatbelt guys- how the hell do you pop that bottle open without spilling half the beer on you? I've tried it numerous times, and I always seem to cover my hands and pant legs in beer.

    Is GJ addicting?

    I check it at least once a day, even if I don't post. My problem is that I usually stay up late, so I'm on when there isn't a lot of traffic and it gets a little slow sometimes, so I'm really just playing catch-up every day haha Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk

    Hell yeah. I don't use it for my wrenches and stuff, but I do use it for my reloading bench too.

    Is diamond plate passe?

    I view it as the "tool guy" equivalent of Ed Hardy/Affliction t-shirts In other words, tacky as hell. The only diamond plate I would consider owning would be a UWS toolbox for my truck

    Favorite Knife

    Kershaw Volt II with serrated blade. I bought my first one at Bass Pro (had a grey blade), had it about a year and lost it. Bought another one on Amazon (black blade, like the one pictured). Of course, the day the new one arrived, I found the "lost" one under a couch cushion that I swear I...
