This is the scotish play of workshop practise....
The tip that craftsmen can not hear.
You would be better "mentioning the war"

Don't mention the "jar thing".


As part pennance here's an other thing not to throw away.
Chain saw files... If you use one regularly you will go thru a few.
When they are too blunt to sharpen a chain they will still cut softer stuff quite well.

They make good scribers just sharpen one end the file bit makes a nice nonslip grip.

I have one with a point on one end and a angled knife edge on the other ... very handy.

They would make nice hardened round stock for all sorts of uses.


remember
Don't mention "the jar thing"

cheers

Don't mention the war!
I did once,but I think I got away with it...:)
If I think about the J-word...does that mean I have to buy some new tools as penance?

Even just thinkig about "the jar thing" you would be wise to at least go and buy a new carpenters pencil, or a coppy of FWW, I supose sharpening a chisel would be sufficient.

cheers

i know that everyone uses those ajax bottles for glue bottles. it easy to see the green of the bottle and the red lid shuts tight as well, just thought i would mention it . nuff said:cool: :cool:

A simple way to avoid the vibration problem when doing the jar thing is to screw the jar lid to the top side of the bench rather than the underside. much less chance of it vibrating loose:D

Oh well, as Ned is reported as saying, 'Such is life!' - my sarcastic/comic question "Why would you have a vibrator in the shed????" was misinterepreted.
It was NOT related to the jar thing.
It was a rude, suggestive question.
I apologize to Ashore if this was embarrassing in any way.

Ok then how do you get the jar on and off the lid without spilling the contents? turn the shelf upside down?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I realized that and to counter what I thought was a rather good quick answer I answered it as if it was the most serious question that realy needed a well explained answer. Just my sence of humour

So don't apoligize mate , if anything I should have put one of those green face things after my answer , but thought that I would then look like I wasn't being sinceer :D

Whooosh, Doug?

we gave our grandpa all the nails and stuff out that came out of the bottom of the boxes that were in the work van one day. (you know the ones that fall out of ya nail bags and boxes.
next time i saw him bout two months later he had sorted all the nails and screws and boltsand nuts and plugs and dynabolts out into jars (sorry) and they were screwed under a shelf. had about thiry differnt jars there.
dont think he ever bought any nail or screws ever again. :cool:
he even built his own caravan and table saw:cool:

No mate, it's dead simple. You glue one of those rare earth magnets on the (outside) base of each jar to keep the contents on the bottom!

grmph

Ah crap, I giggled - did I give it away? :o ;):p:D:D

Will that work for me? :confused:
I've got a false mustache in one, potato chips in another, a Santa Claus mask in another....
if you ever saw that Jerry Lewis movie, you will know what is in the brief case. :D
