When I decided to buy some nice tools, including good computer-sized itty bitty screws, I decided to get a new toolbox to celebrate.
Included with the toolbox was an offer to receive a free engraved nameplate for only $2.50 in shipping & handling.
There was only one name to choose: Bluntest Beef, my xbox gamer name.
- Stedemon Knives A02 JENOVA
- Stahlwille QuickRelease 4008-2 Bitratsche / Stubby Ratchet Bit Holder
Note: the T8 ist for the pivot only, the other screws are T6.
A stall in the market at Bury St Edmunds. I remember looking at a display of tools in a shop window with my father when I was about fifteen; he said to me, "Son, you look at these tools and see the word PLAY but I see the word WORK."
Anyone who knows me, knows that home improvement and I get along like goldfish and the sahara... and while there are those who would claim that I'm just lazy, I like to think it's more that I just know my own limitations.
When it comes to the house, I have a certain standard of quality that I know is just beyond my skills as a carpenter (or plumber, or electrician, etc...) and rather than cobble together some half-assed solution, I'd rather just pay someone to do it right.
That being said, there are a few easy to mid-level projects that I am comfortable undertaking when the need arises. The problem with that however, is that based on my admitted shortcomings in the handyman areas of expertise... I lack the tools to properly do anything, so I always have to borrow them from people who have them. (And these are the kind of people, who always look at you like you're not he-manly enough to own a drill, so you must be soft... or lazy)
Well, the days of borrowing are over... I bought myself a sweet set of tools, more powerful than a locomotive... or something like that anyway.
Because I was tired of melting in my living room (which for some reason is always hotter than the the third level of hell -- this could be due to the relatively small size of the room, the giant TV, and a halogen lamp as the only light source) it was time to put the air conditioner back in the window.
Here again, this is no simple task. Because of the style of window installed, there isn't any significant window ledge to support the giant-ass air conditioner needed to keep the room cool, so it requires an outside system of support to keep the unit from falling out and taking the window with it.
In the past, I've simply cobbled together (the above mentioned half-assed solution) something that did the job. This year I vowed to build something a little more sturdy and permanent so I wouldn't have to do it again every year.
For that I needed tools.

I have this in my lab but I'm not a big fan of it. I hate the smell and I believe being exposed to germs is good for you. I will talk to the kids about appropriate use this year.

The tool-chest is scratchbuilt,the gears leaning against the trailer are from a disposable cigarette lighter,and the decals are dry-transfers from Scale Accents,(I think?)...
It felt good to straighten up and putter at Beth's Bicycle Braintrust today. (Homemade work bench, from scrap wood and old TriMet signs.)
Take special note of all the clamps on the wall behind the bandsaw. He who dies with the most clamps wins! I didn't bother trying to label all the tools on the wall, that would be ridiculous, try to name them all if you wish, and you can win, err, something.

TOOL Concert
Summer Sonic Music Festival
Chiba, Japan
I sneak my camera in the concert since pictures were not allowed. All pictures are handheld without look through the view finder.
Gosto dessas cores fortes. Aliás, ferramentas costumam ter cores quentes e fortes, por que será?
Se um dia eu morar em uma casa (e não em apartamente), juro que quero ter uma oficinazinha no fundo da casa, que nem o meu pai tem. Morro de inveja desse quartinho que ele tem.
É isso aÃ!

Found in a discarded bucket of "guy stuff." Strikes me like it may be a special purpose wheel or gear puller, but I'm not sure.
I know . . . more hammers and saws. I promise that these are the last of my retirement cookies celebrating Hubby's 42 years with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. I thought tools with faces would be more fun for the grandkids! carrollscookies.blogspot.com
