Lacquer thinner is zylene, toluene, and acetone- I think I got that right- as such it works on a great variety of substances. It's also relatively mind...

I don't remember which car- it had to be either the 58 Ford or the 61 Ford. The clock would drain the battery after a month or two if you didn't drive...

Something which I've never heard a mechanic talk about, but which I've had direct experience with in my own vehicles and others is the wire that goes...

Throwaway work surfaces from cardboard- one of my best uses for all that stuff. Corrugated cardboard is great for that. Hard to damage something by placing...

One day I had a ferrite magnet from a speaker...

Somewhere I have a piece of square stock which I cross drilled and then drilled and tapped one end for a set screw. I used a single roller from a defunct...

In my workshop there's an outside corner. A workbench sits against the long wall there, and extends about 20 odd inches past the corner. In that extension...

Well, now I understand why I have blue eyes- all those donuts. Actually, I love that song- thanks for posting it Paul....

Pallets- we got a shipment of materials one day on a pallet made of mahogany. You can bet I kept that one.
