Get the app or not but at least they seem to be trying to help the situation.

You old timers probably know what I'm hinting at.
Re: Time for another potpourri thread?
I've got some back yard projects underway. First is a base for my 55 gallon drum that collects rain water. I had it setting on a round fiber base but it is not working our and rather then replace it with the same thing I wanted to go this way.
I had gotten some 2 x 4's earlier but this batch was a lot more expensive. $5.98 each!!!
I then needed a garden storage solution for storing soil and the like. So this was built:
Then the cover for the drum which I hoped to just paint again is to far gone and needed to be replaced. This is the bottom side that is a nice tight fit to the drum.
The top needs a couple of holes, hole saw and 18V battery drills not a problem. A 2" and a 2-1/2" hole were done from inside until center bit come through then around to the top to finish the cut.
This picture is with the parts in place:
Now I have the drum to clean up and scrape and wire brush before painting, that is both inside and outside. Pump is looking a little ruff so same treatment for it.
Good news is that this might well be the last time I have to do this..... getting to that age you know. Should have gotten to this months ago so as you might guess it wasn't a fun project to look forward to, the painting thing that is, the wood working was fun.

Re: Time for another potpourri thread?
Yes I made another one. Also l was running short on the dividers so I made 10 more to add to the few I had left. Mostly filled already but still have to find homes for what this displaced, but expected that.

Kinda makes you wonder if there are other parts that may be similar, doesn't it?nuhobby wrote:Interesting little bit from the Hemmings Classic Car magazine recent issue.
Does this Ford part remind you of one end of a Shopsmith?
