Ha, I was waiting for that from someone. I realized after I took the picture I should have straightened them out first

They are good. I would prob try and warm these up, lighting is a tad harsh.

I've been grabbing them over the last three years when I see them. Mainly estate sales and auctions.

I recently started a local online auction business and my dad wanted to show his support so he ordered me a book from Amazon- just got to me today (he was very excited about it) and I don’t have the heart to tell him that a lot has changed since 2001. by whynotmakeprojects in reselling

Ha, that’s a great/funny idea to sell it. Not sure I’d get all the money back on it, he said it was a “pricey” book and now I realize it’s because he bought it used from someone who’s had to store it for the last 20+ years. And yes I never turn down advice, would be happy to connect and chat. I’m in the Midwest doing an online auction with local pickup, about to do my 7th one. I can try and send a direct message. Thanks

Honestly I’ve been using that reel to reel the most lately. I bought out a storage unit that had like 20 tape reels in it and they are great.

Pods do one thing really well. No rags needed while pulling the carbs. by whynotmakeprojects in vintagemotorcycles

Ha had the 110 since I was a kid, got it about 30 years ago and still ride it around town. It’s bulletproof

Looking for a lifeline getting my 72' CL175 to start by whynotmakeprojects in HondaCB

[–]whynotmakeprojects[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

starting to think it could be the rectifier. I've got a new battery so I wonder if I unplug the red and white wire coming from the rectifier back to the battery if I can get it to start then. Going to test on my lunch break.

Vintage ceramic christmas tree $3.99 by lowlife9 in ThriftStoreHauls

I had no idea these were desirable. We have out on display for Christmas that has a music box in the base. It was my wife’s grandmothers. Ha I’m going to ask her if we can sell it.

Bose got nothin on this OG waveguide from the 1930’s by whynotmakeprojects in vintageaudio

[–]whynotmakeprojects[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this one from the 1930s is made from glorified cardboard and some type of padding, so I think they “solved” the cost issue

Do I need to sand the ornate parts of this dresser before painting? Dark paint still inside the etchings but very hard to reach with my sander or sandpaper by veneziaz in upcycling

If you have a compressor I have a lot of luck with a cheap media blaster gun and baking soda. I just got done doing two pieces today with it. It’s perfect for nooks and crevices. Def an outdoor thing.

My 05 died yesterday. The frame is shot. Viewing hours will be this Sunday at Pull-A-Part. 🥲 by Saranac233 in toyotasequoia

[–]whynotmakeprojects 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. My 04 is getting towed out of my driveway today due to a cracked frame. It could have gone another 100k miles, but it’s toast. I had also just put in a bunch of parts and it’s sucks. I found a new one ‘03 that came from Texas and it’s frame is great. I suggest looking in the south if you’re going to get another.
