I've used both but I do think I kept a paper towel and periodically wiped the nozzle. I have a partial spray can but a quart and roller maybe a wise choice.
What did you do "IN" your garage today?

Made seat risers for my old Toyota truck. These seats sit very low from factory. Seat risers are sold on eBay for a Kings ransom. Made these with 2” tube stock for drivers side seat
Finding 3” metric bolts in my shop took the most time. Had to make one.

Replaced the wipers on the wife's Expedition, drained the garden hoses and put them away for the winter, aired up the tires on the riding mower so I could mulch the leaves, pulled the boat out to winterize the engine and put it back in the garage, drank a couple of cups of coffee in between all that and listened to a few Led Zeppelin tunes.

Finally had a warmer day to get my "free" freestanding gas heater stove installed. Its an older but nice QuadraFire model. First I converted it to propane (dealer kit) from NG (done it before, both ways, with various appliances). Got it installed with piping through the wall (sounds easy, it wasn't) with a wall thimble and horizontal cap and used duravent pipe that I got with the stove. I attached a 100# bottle to it to test it - has a 2 stage regulator on the bottle with appropriate flow/pressure.
The pilot lights and stays lit. When I turn the gas on it lights right up - for about 20 seconds, then the pilot feebles out and so does the main burner. If I take the glass front off it stays lit - at least for 20 minutes. When I replaced the glass - with the stove operating, it shut off with in about 20 seconds.
I'm stumped! Anybody got any ideas? I suspect it is an air mixture issue....

Better get it insulated first so you don't have to around everything.

Was using my bandsaw and discovered that the thrust bearings are finally going out.
I used some time Saturday to take the upper and lower guides apart and ordered replacement bearings. Used the wire wheel to clean up all the crusty surfaces.
The adjustments will hopefully not require a wrench anymore.
Today I finished burning some Texas shaped coasters for my wife. They were cut on my cnc and then burned on the laser.

Did some cleaning around the garage and clearing away all the stuff that got dumped on the 5' and 4' workbenches.
Put the old battery from my Chevy truck on charge for a few hours. Noted the voltage and will check tomorrow to see if it holds the charge.

Not sure but my wood burner does the same thing if I shut the door. It's an air thing.

Not in the garage, but definitely needed my tools. I installed 80 feet of gutter guard covers on the house rain gutters. Wouldn't be so bad if the roofing material weren't cement tiles. They are heavy and the edges eat your hands and arms as your working. I do like the gutter guard material and it looks clean when installed.

I drug this home and cleaned it up, played with it a enjoyed a few beers...
I found it at a local estate sale on Friday, I waited for this morning
To pick it up with my son,, I needed his help and I was hoping the snow
Would melt a bit where we had to move it through the back yard and up a hill.
It was a total *****...but she made it home in the 2 pieces she broke down to...

That is a nice piece, it was worth the effort.
I'd agree with that.
Spent the weekend working on my 2009 Mini Cooper S. Replaced the water pump, water pump pulley wheel, serpentine belt, thermostat (#6) and the timing chain tensioner. Still need to replace the valve cover gasket, but at least the gravel in a box noise is gone.
Thanksgiving # 1 was a success yesterday, had a fire in the wood stove in the barn, finally figured out how to stream a football game in my barn (Yay me!!)
All was well until the end of the evening, my 18 month old grandson was walking into the kitchen, stopped, looked and started with projectile vomit, he threw up all over the dog twice, the poor dog didn't know what to do. Hopefully we all do not come down with the stomach bug, poor little guy, I feel for him.

1) started soaking hardware from dads early 60s tool box in vinegar to remove rust, 2) removed trim from front of the tool box drawers & soaked with WD40 before using steel brush, 3) started to rough up the drawers for painting and removed the lock from front of box, key is lost.
Youngest daughters boyfriend helped me complete construction on a new work bench and sanded exterior of the tool box last Friday.

I measured up some shop spaces and made a plan to move a few machines. I hope to make better use of my floor-space.
After looking long and hard at my 16-120 Southbend Lathe, I have decided to offer it for sale on Craigslist. I have lots of chucks and other accessories to go with it. I figure $900cdn is a fair price.

With the colder weather and unheated garage (GJ sin I know...I know!!) I have shifted most operations to the basement. With that being said, I put a few hours in with some files to get the swivel jaw on my Prentiss No. 22 spinning smooth. I was able to use chalk to find the contact points and file them down.

I made some ugly cabinets pretty. Then had to test fit them and got carried away. These all have to come down in a few weeks for drywall but I like the layout a lot more. I have a third cabinet to hang on the opposite wall.
That looks awesome. Very nicely done.

It must be butcher block month.
My neighbor up the street is redoing her kitchen and she was tossing out an island she had...it had an almost 'in perfect shape' butcher block top....48" x 30". I latched on to that *****. Though it was a slight battle with the wife....she saw it and wanted it....but I got it first.
Anyway, my old outfeed for the table saw was in pretty poor shape. I took it off and adapted the butcher block.
In the first photo you can see the back side of my custom table saw stand. One of the features I did I wished I had done a lot sooner. I have quad AC outlets on both sides. I use the dog **** out of them. I also have the dust collector underneath.....and I use my shop vac to **** the sawdust. It's power is tied to the table saw.
If you look at the bottom of the legs you will see two back plates. These are for my lifting castors. Love them. The kit is from Rockler....the castors slide onto the plate and then I can lift the table and roll it around. I use the same castors for my welding table. One set of castors....a set of plates for each item I want to lift.
All I need now is some hinges so I can swing the outfeed down....

So I picked up ALL this free steel, copper pipe and electrical conduit from my work that is closing down. Needed a place to put it and figure I'd do a vertical storage like at Home Depot.
