POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?
- Thread starter wachuko
- Start date
Not necessary if you do it right, You start from the hose and work toward the end, but don't go within 1-2 threads of the end.
I start with a tail so I can hold it. I would never chowder the threads like that.
Had to tear apart the JD tractor again . Wasn't getting gas thru the brand new carb . Took the bowl off and found rust inside of a BRAND NEW CARB ? Shot it down with cleaner and the tractor started right up . I don't know if something got into it when I installed it but I didn't see anything . Oh well , it was a quick job on a hot driveway . I'm going to replace the hydraulic overfill tank and I'll be done with it finally .

its starting to all make sense now. The reason Jamie doesn't get much work done is he is spending to much time dreaming about those machinistsPlease repost so we can zoom in on these ! What a tease .
I got that some 15-18 years ago… along with a calendar…. My daughter would not let me put it in the garage… so both (poster and calendar) stayed stashed away until today. Heck, the calendar was still in its wrapper…. I need to find it again to share here. I was saving that one for the workshop.its starting to all make sense now.

I was once told that any decent garage/workshop should have at least one…
EDIT: forgot the request… If you look closely, you will eventually see that I got a few autographs

I bought a digital microscope from AliExpress. Was like $25. Seems to work pretty well for the price.
You might find something similar on Amazon.

Years ago we would travel down to Cocoa Beach for a Presidents Weekend national baseball tourney . We always went to a Bar/Restaraunt called Coconuts on the Beach . They had quite a few bikini contests down there and all the pictures were hanging on the walls inside the place . The young boys would go missing every year .
They used to have these contests on Youbube but I haven't seen them lately . Still have all the Hooter's calenders we collected over the baseball years from across the country . These days they all sit in a drawer and have been replaced with National Geo pictures .I figure they are both the same as .......................I'm looking at places I'll never go .
I hear ya. that's funny as ****.I figure they are both the same as .......................I'm looking at places I'll never go .
