I have a shop compressor. It is meant to put out 12 cfm free air delivery but I think it actually does less than that , about 10. I have sprayed a couple of yachts with it but I have to pause to let the compressor catch up. Nevertheless made a good finish. Maybe the pauses helped me. Once as I was using it, rather while it was between coats a truck hit it and tipped it over. The oil ran out. I had some motor oil in the boat and just topped it up. Went a lot better with motor oil because it was detonating. The oil separator took all the gunk out of the air supply and got the job finished. Changed the oil for compressor oil and back to normal.
Don't think I have ever seen a real snake. But we do have Tuataras and Wetas. They are proper dinosaurs and still walking.
It took bantam5 to get us back on track with Lizzies thread. I reckon he knows the travelling rep for Channel lock.WORKSHOP CLEANING.Now workshop vacuum cleaners. I have two, one is a cheap Chinese one that is very much abused, very good and just keeps going. The other is a Nilfisk Alto. Twice the price and just as good. They have worked very well in a small self contained workshop, cleaning and coping with sanding dust. If all goes to plan, and it will, I will be moving to a much bigger workshop. the workshop will share space with two cars. I am not planning partitioning at this stage so I am looking at dust extractors. On the internet they range from compact to upright to huge. The ones I am looking at have 4 inch collection pipes and can shift 100 to 700 cubic feet per minute of air. I suspect bigger is better for shifting or filtering air and I am not looking to install an extraction fan if I can possibly help it. I don't know the volume of the shed but it is a big, very big two car and storage building with a mezzanine floor.If anyone has experience dealing with airborne workshop dust I would appreciate any and all comments.
David... are those pins on a Boonie Hat?There is a whole 'nother spin on "tool". To me a "hat" is not a fashion statement, but a "Tool" to keep your head covered and the sun out of your eyes.. even hold items.In my opinion, a true Boonie is the best. It has snaps on the side to raise one or both sides of the brim. a sewn in strap around to hold things like mosquito repellent, a pack of matches, super glue, or even your favorite fly's for fishing... even clip your Ipod to it and you have a "Musical Hat". Good ones have vents at the temples to help keep you cool.And a chin strap for the wind.For shooting I snap up the right side for a cheek weld and lower the left to shade the scope.I have an assortment of them in khaki, grey, and camo... but this is "Old Faithful"... getting quite worn and stained... but is still my "Go To". I have dozens of "ball caps" but always grab a Boonie for working so it must be a "tool".
