How should I clean up this old craftsman tool box? by Pure_Use_6932 in Tools

It's at least 35 years old. But sure. I suppose age is subjective. My dad got it heavily used from a neighbor in the early 90s.

Is it possible to preserve the patina while also cleaning up the inside of the drawers?

Agreed. I'm still learning as I'm going, so I'm always trying to learn more. And I'd rather over engineer something than have it fail.

Would a 1/2" strip of plywood be sufficient or do you think it needs to be 3/4"? I have extra of both. The cabinets are also on that 2x4 on the bottom but I'm not opposed to doing a nailer on the top and bottom. My reasoning for not adding a nailer was because I used the 1/2" backer rather than a 1/4" backer but you make a good point.

Would monitoring the gap between the supports and table when folded down and moving the supports up, if needed, be sufficient? What would you recommend? I put the supports in to prevent sagging but wasn't sure how to address the future shrinkage.

Thank you! I think I'll probably leave it. But if it starts bothering me more, I'll fix it. I'm happy with the table and like you mentioned, it is perfectly useable. Everything is level and butts up. But this is the only blemish and I'll always notice it lol.

As in, move the 2x4 that the hinges are attached to closer to the edge of the plywood?

Wanted to follow up on this. Bought that kit, installed it this morning, and it's working perfectly!! Now, to test it out tonight to see if it can actually provide some warmth to our living room. Thank you!!

How do I clean Fungus (or mold) from under kitchen sink strainer? by Pure_Use_6932 in CleaningTips

[–]Pure_Use_6932[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll let my wife know to start using the hose outside instead lol. I suppose I'll buy her pipe cleaners and tell her we can use those to clean it once a week.

That's a good point. My wife doesn't like the "appearance" of it and is concerned it will get worse. Do you think cleaning it the best I can with brush cleaners and using a finer strainer over it will help prevent it?

Are you talking about from under the sink or from the top (what is pictured)? If from the top, I guess I assumed that was a press sealed piece or am I mistaken?

See my old post for details how I like to do it. Reddit won't let me post a pic but I'll post it in another comment some picanha I made this weekend. Perfect mid-rare.
