    wrench organize

    I use a piece of #12 copper wire coiled around a piece of 3/4 pipe (then removed). It is really cheap and adjustable to fit virtually anything. If you want something a little wider you can wrap the same wire around a 1x2, 1x3, or 1x4. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    What tire dressing do you use?

    The Duragloss stuff us good, especially if you can find it locally. I haven't tried the Optimum tire products, but their other products work very well. I don't really care for Aerospace 303 on tires. It is a good product for those things that may need UV protection but, in my opinion, it...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Is there any way to get a better picture of your attachment method? I just put up a fence around my A/C unit and I made a removable gate, but I'm not extremely happy with the mounting method.

    Reloading area?

    I've got a Lee turret press and a RCBS single stage press. I don't have a ton of space so I needed to be able to move the presses when not in use. I decided to mount my presses to a thick piece of hardwood (oak stair tread material). I cut the tread into pieced appropriately sized for each...

    Grease gun that doesn't ****?

    Grease leaked all over the place when I used the Mobil 1 synthetic grease in my lincoln grease gun. I ordered a tube of some Amsoil synthetic grease and have not had an issue.

    File cabinets and metal cabinets

    I got my cabinets on one of those online government auction sites. Paid less than $100 for the lot and a tank of gas to go get them. However, I did sell enough of those that I made my money back. I also tried to incorporate additional storage into each of the benches as you can see in the pics.

    Losing the fundamentals

    I disagree. These things are taught. These skills are not reinforced because of the "tools that are available. People will naturally take the path of least resistance. Ultimately, many of these tools will cause old skills to fade and new ones to emerge. I would be willing to bet the...

    ugh, mosquitos. how do you get rid of them?

    As far as devices go, the ThermaCell has never let me down. However, it is limited in its effective range. You might want to research Malathion. It is used my many municipalities use it for mosquito control. FWIW, I sprayed my lawn with the Spectracide version and haven't had a problem all year.
