Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I love the sound of Hydrovac’s in the Morning……especially after night shift.

 

Foggy AF early this morning but the KC’s lit it up right fine.

 

You never know til you get eyes on it but in my wifes Mdx I was once about to turn and into the brakes, ran over wood chips that flung themselves up and wedged the caliper partially closed. I started hearing a rotational metal on metal squeak and sure as heck I crawl up in there and the wood chip was perfectly sideways just wide enough to keep it partially closed. You never know. Reminds me of the sub reddit r/justrolledintotheshop

 

Growing up we used all sorts of products used for animals or we would have done without.

I would trust things more for animals then people these days.

 

My coworker said “that looks like the print”.

Me, “good, that’s what we get paid to do”

 

The print is always Right even when it is wrong

 

Heater day 2
I think we found the problem.



It even clogged up my vac.



Wanting to be a bit farther from "the action" I rigged up a temporary T-stat.



And...



Who thought propane was so explosive?


Looks like the sun shines on that well storied dogs @$$ now and then - it works!
No booms or extraneous flames, smells less bad too.

 

When it comes to woodworking pretty much anything, I can complicate the simplest.

Take, for example, a frying pan handle I saw online and said "I can make that, no problem".

The 1st attempt worked okay, but was cross grain and cracked when I expanded the nutsert. No problem. On the second attempt, the scrap of wood was slightly thinner, so I cut the flange off the nutsert to keep it flush, used an aluminum one hoping it wouldn't crack the wood, and tried again. This time the nutsert wouldn't grab and just spun, so I couldn't tighten the handle. I dug through my hardware and found a little threaded plug, trimmed it to length, threaded the wood, countersunk a spot on the insert and for now all seems good. Simple!

 

Afternoon all been super busy getting bee stuff ready and real job and been busy also. Getting ready to be on a 48 tomorrow, but at least I’m staying at the same station. you all be safe

 

...and they say you can't smell a picture...

 

That is what I have been doing. Seems like a valid plan.

 

Cheapest easiest way to shorten a safety chain. I hadn’t thought about if I trade trucks in the next 2-3 years and we still have this camper. No knots, but 1/8” S hooks!

 

When I first lit the pilot yesterday there was kind of a vague smell, it seemed familiar.
I distractedly wondered if the neighbors were burning garbage.

When the main burner came on though -- it was so bad I could taste it...

...for a long time...

 

I did it for years - after they left I did what was needed instead of what they wanted and nobody ever noticed.

 

All this talk of smell reminds of that old song. Ooh that smell can't you smell that smell? The smell that's around you.

 

Yeah, no!

I never associated Skinnard with mouse piss!

 

Fun physics party trick... i have done it several times and, is kinda safe too!
Go to the gas stove and turn on a burner, rub your hair with a balloon for a few seconds, stick your finger close to the burner and boom! Gas ignites from static discharge!
Um, timing is everything with this trick lol.

 

Re: Chisel Sharpening...
I sharpen my chisels sharp, but not as sharp as a knife. For me it's too easy to take out what should be still there. My chisels can shave wood but not hair. Anyone else?

 

What could go wrong?
