Did you distill this stuff yourself? It does not look like any Hooch I've ever had

[Autumnarcher]

Nope, its made with 190 everclear, vanilla vodka, orange juice, and powdered vanilla coffee creamer. Some concoction my wife found. Its really tasty and packs a punch.

[kennym]

My FIL used to make peppermint schnapps with everclear, water , and a little sugar. He kept lightening up on the un needed ingredients, finally got it where he wanted, and it would make you take stuff back you didn't steal. 

[Flem]

Glad to hear that! I was a little worried. Recently, someone I knew accidentally drank some foreshot from a fruit distillation.

[Autumnarcher]

Drinkin foreshots is bad business.  We made this stuff and a lemonade shine thats really good. Plus neighbor gave us some apple pie. So we're well sticked for a while. That orange stuff though. You'll confess to crimes ya never committed if ya get too deep into a jar of it.

[Flem]

Permanently bad.

My 18yr old ShopVac finally died. I'm sure most of you guy have and use one of these. This one did a lot of dust collecting. Can't count the hours it spent connected to a RO palm sander.
I needed it to clean up a small flood when it died. I still had an old 3 stage Vac motor from a HVLP turbine build sitting on my bench, so I thought why not see if it will work. Same size, dropped right in the motor housing in the lid. After I got the thing grounded, I thought I would give it a test and see how much water it would suck up in a minute. It was sucking and bucking so hard I turned it off after 20 seconds. It had sucked up 8 gallons! I tried it connected to my palm sander, too much suction, I could barley move the sander!

Makes the single stage motor these come with seem worthless. If you have a ShopVac that dies, you can get one of these 2 or 3 stage motors for around $60, which is way less than a new Vac.

[Autumnarcher]

Nice fix! I still have my old sears shop vac Ive had for almost 30 yrs. original filter. Its been beat to death knockin the dust out of it but still gets the job done.

[Flem]

I still have the same filter, but it's a CleanStream Goretex I bought when I bought the vac. It might last longer than me!

My wife says I'm bat s#!t crazy. I seem normal to me

[kennym]

I think ya need a Cummins with tuner on there...

[Roy from Pa]

I dunno, Flem.

That looks like a pretty big inlet for your tool?

[Flem]

Nah, it's a perfect fit. I've got one of those big black hoses

[Crooked Stic]

 
Yeah Kenny they got 3 cylinder Cummins be about right.

Man plywood aint getting any cheaper. Fixin to build a new TD curve form. 1 2x4x 3/4 and 12x4x 1/4 $35.00. Those are called handi - panels from Menards and are pretty near full 3/4 or whatever size you buy.

[kennym]

Ya I bought 2 full sheets today and it was almost a hunnerd bucks

[Roy from Pa]

I recently bought three sheets of 4x8 x 3/4" ground contact plywood at $146.00, damn....

[Pat B]

...and I bet it don't go down after all of the crisis's are over. 

[Roy from Pa]

Prolly not...

Picked up this 4' infrared restaurant heat lamp yesterday and mounted it over my workbench. Man is it nice, never had a infrared heater before. Everything below it is toasty warm, including me when I'm working there. It's a bittersweet acquisition, it came from a local restaurant that had to stop serving because of the virus and then the owner died from it. The family decided to close it permanently after that. I wish they still  needed it and I could give it back.
