Mike -- youbetcha (although with assistance from a knowledgable soul -- not me)

My lathe has babbit bearings (yer lingo is right, btw), which will need replacing soonish -- close to being a lost art

Bomber: I looked at your picture a little closer. Did you really use your garage door opener to lift the body off the frame???

Yep, they still got them, but the pointy part is hidden under the rubber tip:

This guy wouldn't let me get any closer:

But for the ultimate pointy stick you need one of these:

which, believe it or not, can be found in certain non-disclosed surplus outlets. I don't know the price though, lost the address, and the phone number. ; )

ps, this is kind of a neat site to rummage around on:

Actually it has come full circle, we are now back to saws, which can be used to build cabinets for the garage. And along the way we've simply shown some items that might be stored in said cabinets. A perfect circle in a perfectly logical meander.

Mike, you're my kind of whacked out. : )

hey, speakin' of garages (yeah, not the smoothest segue in the world, but at least i'm tryin'), i got the new wall in my bike shop slathered with two coats of primer the other day.

still a long ways to go, but buildin' on a new garage/shop beats most any other kind of workin' i know.

Jerry -- forgive my absence driven ignorance (as opposed to my standard issue ignorance) -- is this a new business venture?

FB1,

I wished you'd hurry the f*** up! ; ) D. said I could have you for a few weeks when I start on mine. Lord knows I've put a whole lot of other people and projects in front of getting mine done. It will prolly never be as sanitary as yours but it will be functional. You are quite the one-armed carpenter my friend.

B-man, they say ignernce is bliss.

if so, i figger you 'n me 'n JB2 are prolly the blisserest guys in the world!

nope, not biz, just ongoing remodeling on this new/old house. took two very small rooms in the basement, knocked out the dividing wall, and - presto! - made one very small room.

also relocated the door out into the main garage, fabbed up a new wall where the door used to be, stuffed it all full of insulation and sheeted it with 1/2-inch BBSFOOS (baby-butt-smooth finish on one side) plywood and 47 pounds of 2-inch coarse-thread drywall screws.

oh yeah, also built up a spiffy new work bench where the main wall that got gone used to be, screwed to the floor like the wall was.

the hardest part of all of this may have been hoisting and fastening the custom-built 11-foot header that supports the kitchen and living room above the newly departed main wall.

Denise helped with this. she's barely a size Petite on a good day, and the header was Pretty. Damn. Heavy.

this sorta manly-man stuff can, on occasion, make her a bit edgy, but even with two arms (this was just prior to my rotator cuff surgery) i couldn't figger out a way to hoist the header up there by myself.

yep, kinda gettin' to be a bit of a wimp in my old age.

but.......i'm a mighty blissful wimp! : )

I wished you'd hurry the f*** up!

JB2, i told Denise when we bought this dump mansion that it'd take ten years of hard labor to make it into something we were proud to invite our friends to.

i may have exaggerated some what on the time frame, but only by a month or two. : )

if we lived just a parsec or two closer to each other i'd be over to help ya everyday, my friend; you know that fact for a fact.

re: the one-armed carpenter compliment, well, thx. as long as no one ever lays a level or a ruler to any of my work, it looks pretty good.

it looks even better after a coupla stiff drinks, which is why we plied y'all with alcohol the night of the Run to the RidgeDome soirée.

next year i'm plannin' on havin' an even larger supply of moonshine on hand ("Breaker, breaker!! Oldog, do ya copy??") and i figure my extensive carpentry skills will be glaringly apparent that night. ; )

having basically rebuilt the ENtropy Lab from the inside out, I can appreciate your efforts -- well done --

Don't leave out Road_Thing in the Blissiest Boyz crew -- he's pretty, well, blissful, hissownself!

It's good to have extra hands around when needed . . . .well done!

FB1,

If you and I lived closer we would be in deep trouble. I looked at your benches long before the alcohol took hold. In fact I went back in and shot several frames for Doc. If there's a flaw in them we didn't find it.

JB will have to move south! We've already got Prior heading this way. The Parkway will never be the same!

Likely one of the MOST accurate statements ever posted on Badweb.

That is something the feds SHOULD protect us from.

well there, Mr. Bomber, sir, i appreciate the hearty 'well done,' but to keep things in perspective, my new shop ain't much bigger than Ziptab's cubby pictured earlier in this thread. : )

Don't leave out Road_Thing in the Blissiest Boyz crew -- he's pretty, well, blissful, hissownself!

yeah, i left out MikeJ and Court, too. i've hung with both of them, and they - in my humble opinion - seem pretty oblisserated, as well. ; )

If tThere's a flaw in them [but] we didn't find it [on account of we were too busy heading outside to the BBQ for beer and cigars to notice].

there, fixed it for you. : )

JB will have to move south!

Kristi, i know no one else who has lived in the same house as long as Jim and Kim. something tells me they're stayin' put.

that said, i see no reason whatsoever why they couldn't have a nice little vacation cabin down here in the mountains and spend their summers hangin' with us. : )

That is something the feds SHOULD protect us from.

Court, i can envision an upcoming news conference with your main man Barack going something like this:

"Yes we can!"

"Um, er, Mr. President-elect, sir, maybe you misunderstood. The question was 'Can the new administration really protect us if JB2 and Ferris end up living next door to each other?'"

.
.
.

"No we most certainly CAN'T!"
