Stash Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 In my area there has been a recurring ad for an antique snowshovel. Also a vintage Craftsman screwdriver. Steve sighs deeply and shakes his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I saw an add awhile back on cl advertising an antique champion corn sheller on a stand!!! Only problem was it wasn’t a corn sheller it was a champion 400 blower… two other occasions in flea markets, someone mistook a galvanized well bucket for a potbelly stove… second someone mistook a porcelain bed pan for a… wait for it… bean pot that’s not a joke that actually happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 And where is a person supposed to find vintage grease? Do they actually think we're THAT gullible? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted July 7, 2022 Author Share Posted July 7, 2022 And is a vintage grease gun a gun for shooting vintage grease, or a gun for shooting at vintage grease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 A lot of people buy grease with good intentions. Almost every garage in eyeshot has a few antique tubes. Flea marketeers hawk it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hmm, I think a typical tube of grease would fit down the barrel of my falconette...I don't know if the clean-up would be pleasant... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Thomas, If you shoot a tube a grease outta that thing point it west! I don’t want that mess spraying over here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 My coffee jug has a vintage seasoning on it. Kind of like a cast iron frying pan. I really should scrub it someday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 If you can't pour hot water in your mug and make emergency coffee it isn't properly seasoned yet. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I worked with an old timer at the plant and he threw a fit because his wife washed out his coffee jug and he had to start a new one cause it tasted like soap. He chewed tobbaco and there was as much chew juice build up on the rim of his old jug as coffee. He was fun to spend a shift with. We carried radios and he talked non stop. If I got tired of hearing him I just turned off my radio. Sometimes I would turn it back on and he would still be talking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Right on Frosty. Coffee mugs should be rinsed out only. If it Really needs it on the rim or something, a quick soapy cleaning but don't soak it. I've had people seem disgusted that I would even drink more of my coffee after many hours of it sitting. (If I hadn'tm finished it earlier). I don't put milk or creamer in my coffee so its fine. And a good mug keeps it warm. Also finding a Good coffee mug you like is hard so I tend to use one for years till it is just so worn out or completely broken.

Frosty Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 And rinsed ONLY if the spider that finished your last cup is too stuck to shake out without water. If you do have to clean a mug, my stainless insulated mug develops a funky taste if I let it season much and it's too deep and narrow to scrub. Squirt it with lemon juice ad let it absorb a while then use baking soda on a sponge or dish rag to scrub it out. It works a TREAT, thank you Sir Slag! It cleans tea stains too. Best of all it doesn't leave a taste and soap always seems to. <shudder> Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 When I put a fan in my shop today, a forging buddy sent a pic to another of our forging friends asking if it was a sign of the end of days; He's been forging with me for over a decade and never a fan in the shop before.
