Senior Technician of 7yrs. here. High quality RG59 will work ok if EVERYTHING is done perfectly and your runs aren't too long. Most DIY types aren't capable doing perfect work though, and most store bought cable is ****. So just don't do it, let your cable guy run your outlets and keep a close...

Nobody steals mail. Why bother? Unless it's a package or something, but then you don't even know what you're stealing and it's a federal crime. I'm pretty sure you'd get less jail time if you just broke into the house and took something you really wanted.

If you'd like to put in some elbow grease you can rub the doors with some 00 or 0000 steel wool that you've dipped in boiled linseed oil, taking care around the logos, and this will help a lot with the rust stains on the paint as well as removing a bunch of rust scale. Wipe up afterward with a...

Those things are too cool for school!! I'm a fan of patina for the most part tho and I'd just give em a good cleaning.

:thumbup: I really like this splicing technique. :thumbup:(I really liked the original paint too:()

An old friend of mine (a bit of a spiritual, flower power, type) used to believe that individuals were more drawn to certain types of injury by nature. I don't put much credit in that stuff but I know of people who constantly get burnt, or a dude who always smashed parts of his body, I know for...

A cable tech. working for my old employer of mine got electrocuted by a faulty service drop, blew most of his teeth straight out of his head. You're lucky.

Conduit anybody? That's the direction I'll take in the near future...

nine4gmc Thank you, I'll start a thread at some point. It's a really neat old carriage house. Torqueman If you think my avatar is creepy you should see my drivers lisence photo!

Drill press too. Thanks!

I figured I'd post this here for all to see. Bought it a while back and have been using it, recently decided to take it apart and give it a proper cleaning.

Drivesitfar: Thanks for the kind words. I'm not too concerned about the exact date of the thing, I'm just sick of paying to have my mower blades sharpened. About the grinder dust, I didn't create this space to keep it perfect, it just looks that way right now:D Steevo: That's what I was going...

One more. (I gotta figure out how to post multiple photos using my iPad :sad:)

So I cleaned out a corner of my Garage and staged a photo shoot for my recently cleaned up grinder. It's totally original but was just totally filthy, took it apart and gave it an OCD style cleaning. I think it looks pretty slick by the drill press.

The argument for fine watches is quite similar to the argument for fine tools, fine cars, clothes, furniture, you name it. Top quality and appearance, and the associated prestige, are not cheap. The law of diminishing returns applies here also. Just make sure your tools are made in the USA...

Totally different batteries. The big ones were a total game changer for me, lasted longer and gave better power.

When I was about eight years old my parents bought a bigish 5 bed 2 bath modular home on a great piece of lake front property. I loved growing up there and my parents have enjoyed it for nearly 30 years. I've recently helped my Dad remodel a bathroom and have done a lot of work in the house in...

Hey Jacobson, is your ***** rechargeable too?:headscrat

This is a great post. I'd really like to hear more suggestions for proper disposal. I've generally just hung things up to dry prior to throwing them in a steel trash can but I feel that might not be enough.

At least it was until everyone read about it on GJ:lol:
