yup...

 

Ya know, I never thought about that! I have one tucked away that I used for drywall work. I'll have to give it a try.

 

Stick, you got snipes?

When I was a kid a bunch of older kids got us to go out 'snipe hunting' at night.

We sat there, with our gunnysacks, all night and didn't catch a one.

I've got a Rotozip. Now I can find out what a snipe looks like!

 

sorry to hear you missed out out on bagging snipes....
let's go try some marshes during the day...

when we get back from the hunt we can pick up a few things on the way home...
dough repair kit, bacon stretcher and a soufflé pump for the SO....
Find a can of steam.....
procure a long wait or a long stand...
get a couple necessities for the shop like a left handed screwdriver, board stretcher, eye measures, hammer grease, wall expander, glass hammer, striped or tartan paint, metric crescent wrench, or a box of assorted knots......
A new frog hair brush would be nice and the ever handy box of grid squares....

 

I noticed none of you all mentioned owning a sky hook. Never did get to see one of those.

Once, in school, some guy was sent around from class to class looking for a bucket of steam. He showed up in our electrical class, and the instructor said he didn't have any but he could make some. Told him to get one of our board testing extension cords with the end cut off to splice to, and plug it in, drop the cut end into a bucket and fill it with water. The guy started to do it, and that's when the instructor got mad at his stupidity and kicked him out of the room.

 

here ... use as much as you need.. please return the left overs...

sky crane...

sky hook...

and my favorite...

 

In logging it was choker holes. When you got a big heavy log that was laying so tight to the ground you couldn't get a cable under it to choke it you would send a newbie back to the landing for a bucket of choker holes.

 

I can't imagine what I would do without my open-end adjustable hammer...

 

When I started at Univac in the '60's as an electronic technician, I was sent by the lab supervisor to the tool crib to get a 'metric Crescent Wrench'.

I went out to my car and got my Crescent wrench and brought it to to the supervisor.

Not one guy in the lab had ever noticed that many adjustable wrenches had inch markings on one side and metric on the other! And I showed them how they could stretch a 4" wrench to 10 centimeters.

I was admitted to the club.

Sorry for the hijack, Stick, but I couldn't resist.;-)
