I have acquired a chamfer plane! I had a pretty wooden Japanese chamfer plane on my wishlist over at Harry Epstein's, waiting for July 4th weekend, when Amazon waved a $10 coupon at me for this Jorgenson. $39.96 before tax. Photographs of black ribbons: Made in China. It's about 6.5"...

Just as one of the vehicles in our fleet graduated from "ongoing odor" to "smell of death", Amazon waved this at me during Amazon Prime Day(s), something I normally ignore. Now I can generate ozone and fight stank. $45.58 before tax, for me that day. Now showing...$47.99. List price $60.

Bubbles and Johnny are coming as fast as they can for the old one!

I checked the Magnolia catalog. Model 58 has 9 inches of bristles. I know this is a very GJ thing to say, but... you should check out their online catalog, it's neat how many different kinds of brushes they make.

I just checked the Lowes hardware people -- they'll sell you an eight inch Quickie (brush) for $11.50. And I'm guessing the COO is Indonesia or something similar. That makes this Texas-made Magnolia brush a damned good deal. brad-pitt-deal.gif

That's on my wishlist, too. I hope I never need it, but I'm going to have it in case I do.

When access gets tight, these are great: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/apt-9409a

I grew up chewing on them and I turned out fine!

I see T shirts on the website! If I were to make a cut-open six story cake theme, I'd have it show every floor of the HJE building. That could be an artwork idea for next summer! Get Wes Anderson's brother!

The imported models have been downgraded to "Probable Thump."

I've not fondled the Felco but I have fiddled with the Japanese ARS in the showroom and they seem very nice. (An oddity of my region and life is that if I drive to the mountains there are Christmas tree farms -- and one business that specializes in supplies for Christmas tree farms.) Here's a...

If you have one, ask your local big chain auto parts store (say,Advance) , they may have a drum in the back for used oil filters. In which case, no need to cut open or crush or tap a nail hole into them. (That last one is really easy, so are the cutters.) My Advance Auto takes used oil/brake...

That reminds me of my college days, when I would access thight spaces! Also, flex nut drivers like this for one or two very common sizes might be found in your local big box hardware store, HVAC/duct area.

Here's an idea for those who haven't seen this in the past! Old stock of SK T-handle allen wrenches. They look and feel just like Bondhus to me. One year I built the whole SAE set for a fair enough price. And those are some very stiff T handles. And you might even find the organizer for under...

Well, I hope you never haft to! I was ogling hammers at Harbor Freight the other day, and boy, did nothing turn me on. I already have hammers, that would be understatement. But I just had to pick up that titanium framing hammer and... what the? Boy, do I hate hammers where your hand has no clue...

Have you tried the wishlist? Heart icons.

There are affordable Bucks with pocket clips, thinner plastic handles, and thumb studs. The 110 Slim Select, just over a year ago, I got one for under $30 on ebay. https://www.buckknives.com/product/110-slim-select-knife/?sku=0110BKS1-B And for real money, Buck will sell you a 110 with...

Oh, sure at $17, everybody needs that hammer.
