New Stuff, and Back

[Ranger Kip]

Well, been away for a while, haha, just been busy with school, family, and the holidays.

Well, since last time, I have had quite a bit happen, including having my BBQ drum a school finally cut and finding offroad diesel settled at the bottom (let it drain), getting some tools, and getting the shop in order.

Well, heres a few things I got from the local warehouse junk saler:

$5, works, needs 3 parts, already looking into getting them now.

$2, was not complete, but had a lot of items I needed, I used my old set to complete this one.

$5, in pretty good condition, found a band-aid and a napkin that were used as bookmarks!

$1, just needs rethreaded out the front, and a washer or something to hold it out, its dry, has blue chalk.

$7.50, got this from the Trading Post across the street, its owned by the warehouse' sister aparently.

Other than that, I built a stool for the shop from pallet wood and slab wood, we are getting $10k for the garage damage (getting another tractor, paying bills, and MAYBE a vehicle for me, yeah, I am looking at you adsm08), and also the family of the driver who created the drive-through will be helping rebuild the garage.

Well, let me know before too long. It seems like it's in good running shape, but I'm not gonna sit around for months before I start tearing it down.

Hey, with my training and experience I'm worth at least 15k. I might turn wrenches for a living but I do have a bachelor's degree in business management too.

Good luck finding blades for that jig saw, I'm finding it harder and harder to find blades with the hole punched in them to allow the screw to hold the blade better than ones without the hole.
That's if it's a side screw and not a front screw. They run forever though.

got a pack of 2 from Menards just a few months ago for my jigsaw. I have not had too many problems finding them.

Walmart, goto the hardware section and black & decker makes them, just bought some a few days ago.

OH, replaced that jig with a Craftsman, I talked to the guy when I found out it needed 3 parts (no longer made), and that the model was hard to find, so he traded me.

This one has some spark work in the back where the motor is, and it sucks at cutting ash wood, REALLY sucks. When I saw the sparks in it, I stopped using it. Gonna have dad take a look at it.

Also, I was in the shop, and decided to make some things for a pretend game my buddies and I play on our offtime, Army Man.

I made these:

(A bomb from wood and an old speedometer and wirenuts on bolts)

(Some Grenades, the last one has a pull pin that shoots out)
(smoke)

(tear)

(pin)

and I also made a flag pole from a pully, slabwood, and ceiling trim:

Other than that, I just relaxed in the shop, lol
