6 inch Enco POS Jointer. This was actually a gift from SWMBO but the
fact that I kept it makes me culpable.

Central Machinery (AKA HF) Mortiser. Bought this on eBay, didn't know
about HF at the time and discovered that the combined price of the
unit plus shipping exceeded HF price with free shipping. Finally got
rid of the POS last year because I had to do some *real* mortising on
a cherry bed I was making. Which brings me to the next item...

Delta Mortiser. This thing couldn't cut a 1/2 inch mortise in a
cherry bed rail with the riser installed. Even the Delta service
people couldn't figure out why. Thankfully Woodworker Supply honored
the Delta warranty and gave me a full refund. I learned that I can
*always* rely on my drill and chisel...

Any HF piece of equipment I've bought. I may have finally learned my
lesson now that my last piece of HF equipment has died (pancake
compressor).

For all those really clever tools I've purchased and not yet used I'm
not going to fess up yet - I'm just waiting for the right project...

Sure, but you have to keep the other two quarts around another week rather

I use 2/4 liter milk jugs for my oil.

Get yourself an old chest freezer, cover the outside with some nice cedar boards

Now you have instant workbench and lockable storage outside your home, and it

I still have an Autocoder manual around here someplace. Also did a fair

Carpet is good - you can go much longer between vacuuming than between
sweeping bare floor. Carpet should, however, be verboten in kitchens,
dining areas, and bathrooms.

I think we have a Hoover. Windtunnel or something like that. Bagless
with HEPA filter. Excellent machine and cheap enough that if it dies
after 5 years I won't even care. Currently had it for almost 3 years
and it sucks just as much as it did when we got it. I do need to
replace the main filter, but it is washable and a good wash seems to
restore it to virtually new condition. Here in the high desert we get
a lot of dust (all volcanic in nature and very harsh) and vacuums tend
to die young and painfully. This one is a keeper (and so has probably
been discontinued by the company, to be replaces with some total piece
of junk that I will hurl off a cliff 2 weeks after buying).

At least here in western NY, any place that sells oil in quantity is
required by law to accept used oil for recycling. Advance Auto, Auto Zone,
Tractor Supply, etc. I think Wal-Mart is too, but I'm not sure.

Some do, but it has to be in containers no larger than one gallon and
clearly labeled "used oil". I'm too unorganized to round up 20 gallon

Since you seem to be a collector I tlought I would ask this since I have
wondered if it's worth anything. I have a QuadRam board that was made to
convert the original IBM PC to work like and run Apple II software. You put it
in one of the PC slots, ran some software from the 5 1/2 floppy and you could
use any Apple software. Is this worth anything to collectors? Worth listing
on eBay, or should I just pitch it? Have the original box and I believe the
few cables and things that came with it.

A word to the wise.
Watch those old boxes.
Some old boxes that computers came in are worth 100x the computer that came in

Had to do the regular general purpose shopping, instead of just the Daddy
shopping I usually do (which usually isn't at Wal-Mart anyway.) I got a
lot of looks from people powering down the aisle full throttle and skidding
on all the corners. Zero collisions. I wanted to get it the hell over

And I did, too. Finally tried out my scrapers on that little wild grained
maple board end. I guess it's probably what you'd call fiddleback grain.
Came out purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty when I got done. Wow!

Let me just say "sex, drugs and rock and roll". On a poll of my
graduating class 98% said they used drugs. You could probably count
the virgins on one hand. Things were pretty much adrift. Most of the
restrictions we have today come from the excess of the 60's and 70's.
Sure we carried knives to school - and sometimes used them carve on
one another.

Some things may be worse today, but I don't see nearly as much of the
life-destroying behavior we embraced so enthusiastically back then. I
was, quite frankly, lucky to escape my high school years alive. Some
of my classmates weren't that lucky.

Tell me about it! I didn't have a 16 lb. maul, but I did have a wedge and
16 lb. sledge for the big logs that wouldn't split any other way.

I gave that thing to my boss last year, in trade for a computer or
something. I can't even swing the damn thing one good time anymore.

I don't feel quite so bad though. We had a neighbor we used to call when we
needed to bring some real strength to the table. That guy could split 36"
red gum logs in a single swipe all day long. (And we had a LOT of 36" red
gum logs that year. Some of which were crotches.)

He just bought one of those wussy hydraulic deals. I guess Father Time is

I think Monsanto (makers of Roundup) is responsible for all this. Ustabe
you could just pour a little oil around your driveway to kill the weeds,

cutoff wheels.

Be careful with these. Dremel used to make their own metal cutoffs and
micro saw blade attatchments, but stopped making them due to
liability. They can only be found via third party manufacturers, hobby
shops tend to have huge assortments of dremel accessories. Though I
think I did see an official dremel saw blade attatchment that came out
recently, but it was really small.

Dremel has a neat little saw blade attachment that has a slight ~15° bend in
it so the motor portion is up away from the surface. Little pricey though.

I have no idea how much liquid one of those cat litter jugs hold, but I'd
say 1.5 to 2 gallons, probably. I had about 30 of them. It took me half

at the drop-site just across the road. Only oil has to travel to the
far side of town.

Not worth it.

Yeah, can't just pour it on the driveway anymore.

Um. Not that I ever did that.

Or into the storm drain at the end of the driveway... Not that that's
what my father taught me to do all those years ago...

And no, I DON'T still do that...
