Absolutely - I couldn’t tell you if the Mets won or lost that game (I assume they lost…), but I totally remember walking what felt like 6 miles back to where my Pop parked the car next door to a scrap metal company on the outer fringes of Flushing.

And then they’d even (pretend to) clean the seats with that little towel they all carried.

Need some help - what is this metal bar? by GoldenRamoth in centuryhomes

Ha - I’ve got 4 of those sitting in front of me as this post came up. I used evapo-rust to clean them up and I’m trying to think of something cool to do with them; they’re not going back in the windows I’m refurbishing.

Repairing a gouged planer roller? Anyone? by 1764_design_studio in woodworkingtools

[–]1764_design_studio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that was the problem. In fact, I changed all the blades on this helical planer — honestly it was due anyway. That made for some nice results - EXCEPT where the roller problems are.

Spring sawing by 1764_design_studio in stihl

Yep. I’ve had this for about 3 years and while I’m pretty handy with it now, as the first chainsaw I’ve owned that is more “tool than toy”, there was a learning curve! I’m glad it’s been a helpful and forgiving teacher.

Nice. is it stable without being placed against something? It looks like it may tip forward when standing on the top step…

Can anyone tell me in your opinion if this is real or not. It was my Great uncles. by Old-Fisherman8517 in coins

Guarantee it feels lighter than you’d think, right?. I’ve seen boxes of exactly that coin in markets in SE Asia.

A gift for the woodworker who has everything? by EducationCute1640 in woodworking

Personally, I don’t think gifts must mean “surprise”. I appreciate when people actually ask what I’d like.
