    Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener

    I agree but that's for my grass (fescue). Might be different for southern grasses.

    Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener

    Not really, I have a lot of sticks that get chewed up and the occasional rock. With the blade in a vise, sharp file, takes maybe 5 to 10 strokes per edge. I don't go for perfect. I also just have a walk behind though, and it's electric and very easy to remove and install the blade. If I had a...

    Lawn Mower Blade Sharpener

    I use a file too. Faster and quieter than digging out the power tools.

    oil absorbent pads

    Seems like it would be the same amount of work to skip the pig mat and just throw down speedy dry. What am I missing?

    oil absorbent pads

    Not what I assumed. OP's request was pretty generic. And he didn't specify expensive either.

    oil absorbent pads

    I have a whole bundle of unused 24" puppy pee pads (Hefty brand I think). I use 3 or so for an oil change. Probably have 5 years worth at the rate I use them and they were very cheap. I wouldn't try to use them professionally though, not really ideal, too small.

    Bolt Thread sealant/locker

    This sounds promising. OP, can you also use a stud instead of the bolt, and make it a more permanent install?

    Seal the bottom corners of the garage door? Keep crawling bugs out?

    I use these sticky traps that fold into tunnels on the floor on both sides of each door. Catch thousands of bugs before they can take up residence: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007E83LUM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

    Wood shop size?

    It's plenty long and wide but personally I would be frustrated by the 6'6" ceiling. It makes 8' stock so much harder to manage. But yes, you could definitely build kitchen cabinets in it. Better still, take that old growth lumber, mill it, and make the cabinets out of it once you get the...

    Am I getting old? No more air impacts?

    I changed careers almost 20 years ago and haven't ever bothered buying electric replacements for my air tools. I use them with a 2.5 gallon pancake compressor and sometimes have to wait a minute for pressure. Doesn't bother me, I am not in any hurry working on vehicles, it is meditative. In...

    Steel prices @ Metal Supermarkets

    Just looking at their web page, they appear to heavily push the franchise model which is similar to MLM in many ways. No offense intended but their website gave me that impression along with apparent wariness of OP regarding price. Glad you and others have had good experiences; I am no longer...

    I learn something new every day. Had never heard of Metal Supermarkets, it looks like a franchise or MLM scheme?

    I think there is a size limit. Also gifs don't work.

    Is there anything like this U.S.A. or German made?

    That's $1,100+ holy moly. And I thought SnapOn was pricey! Beautiful set though.
