Quite the count!

L.o.l. on the rare green cap 200A.

An add ran (still runs?) a 220 and 200 with the caps swapped between them.
All I could do to not call and insist the caps be swapped back because it bugged me.
But it could have been a trap...

Honey hole indeed!

Congrats on the major suckage.

Ooh, a challenge! I accept!

We'll need seconds, of course.

Now to figure out how.....

Uncle Sidney has probably tried it.
He might have some tips...

Fight!
Scheme forward.

Space chorizo, will be the name of my mariachi techno death punk band. I like it! I'd be in for a tie-dyed t shirt with the bands name and description on it. A few hundred burning lanterns for a stage backdrop like suns and stars. A few flaming 275's for a big finish.... https://i.postimg.cc/ncCMy3...

Vintageish

Sigh.

Innaminute I'll have this cow inflated!

Vintageish

Great find!
Congrats.

Old saying when picking up a hot horse shoe. "It don't take long to look at a hot horseshoe." How does one know while waiting for the lantern to cool out on a frozen lake with now cold hands (the reason a lantern goes ice fishing during the day or doubly obvious at night anyways) when it is ready to...

Vintageish

Just tell us what we want to hear.
Thank you.

Vintageish

Heck of an interesting piece.
Congrats!

Vintageish

Interesting.

Could the vent be submerged sideways and still be able to use a salvaged grill rotisserie motor to keep it turning?
A plastic or nylon shaft maybe.

Vintageish

Easy enough , it's the sailboat!

Congrats on basking in the glow of such a rare model , let alone her helping you fettle lanterns.

Great she's battling back from the virus. Mend well Margaret!

Vintageish

Interesting piece.
And congrats on the restoration skills. And network of help with Deano.
Good to see your post.

Make it a good day Yoder.
As an acquaintance who went out swinging put it time and again , "Got to!"

Vintageish

Sunshine!

Good go of it Levi.

( Danged house rules strike again.)

Vintageish

Plenty special!
It's got it's own character unlike any other .
And them puppies cost a whopping few dollars more new than thier sibling 220's!

Congrats on another first. Still recognize and like having my first 228 no problem.

Some good networking there! S.W. ehh? I've kin in St. Joseph. No tug of war stories from them over a gas appliance with a forum member down there, yet. :lol: I lived in Paw Paw, Portage and Three Rivers when I was over there. I worked in Three Rivers the whole time I was there An uncle was there qu...

Great you had the conversation! A Seasons at that price point is too rich for my blood anymore. Missed out the first year I tried though...(They have serious appeal.) Understood it is a limited run each year. But I'd need better justification for cost beyond "they are limited". A seasons globe if no...

Vintageish

Slick!
Thanks for the glimpse.

Wee little drill bit looks about as thick as a horse tail hair. (though they vary in size .)

Vintageish

I exchanged money for an old 242 they don't make more of. Nabbed a rifle today on similar terms. Then polished harness in the vantage of todays heat outside for another one ,(well a sling and oiler pouch) to cheer up leather probably older than I ; from a country that's name at the time no longer ex...

Very nice!

Ladyfriend's enthusiasm for travel has let up with the warmer weather. A hip is kinda giving her trouble too. I try to encourage her effort by telling her to drop the cane and use both hands for serious work. Maybe if it wasn't so hilly around here she could push the truck a little easier and we cou...

Not a good idea to use a personal fan to trim grass with. Might damage the blade. Dad had a section of airplane prop on a big electric motor. He'd set it by the backdoor of the cottage/shack that was home and it moved some air! Us kids could see a silver circle where he'd painted an inch or so at ea...

Vintageish

Alright!

Load up the buses folks , we're heading North!

Congrats.

Vintageish

Wow! Getting to a sale that late around here would not produce that kind of score! Though I caught an estate packing stuff away after a sale and they took my half thier asking offer for two heat plants. Rough tarry fuel kind of stuff though.... Sometimes you make out. Sometimes you don't. Been a whi...

Vintageish

Lookin great!

Vintageish

I'm with the dogs way of thinking.
This would be more fun if Dad cooked more steaks! (And shared..)

Congrats on the outings.
And on the Mrs. enjoying more participation.

Got this at an estate sale for $5 box is dated 4 51 IMG_7490.jpg Good score! Being complete , you're way ahead of the game. Beyond complete! 4 like new blades and 4 or 5 die plates ranging from 1/8" to 1/2" Excellent. I've become more a fan of double ground meat. More so when blending. Just got to ...

Toby, if your wife has one of the big Kitchen-aide mixers, they make a grinder for that too. I got one at an estate sale and then later got the wood "pusher" for it at a GS. We've got them Outlaw. They work great, altho they don't get a lot of use anymore. I would have to install an electric motor ...

I would have to install an electric motor on that... I've told myself that many times while cranking away. But knowing me , there would be ground venison on the ceiling! I'd have to search. But think I did nab another with a sheave on it to fit a belt. There's a ten(?) horse gas motor in the shed n...

Dona Drake (AK.A. Una Villon , A.K.A. Rita Rio , AKA Rita Shaw ) was an actress, singer, dancer, in the 30's and 40's per an internet search.

As a visitor and only having noted one big change in format... My take on the site is that it's "bunkhouse "rules. Be overly polite if need be to avoid getting booted. Meaning don't step on others toes. And if you need to decide about insulting someone you think is in your way , go around them rathe...

Vintageish

Time to fight. Keep an eye out around close for some flowers. If not in your control / possession , ask if you can nab one when your Mrs. gets home. Or , something else simple and real (read not a money thing) she would enjoy as a "glad you're here" token.( Besides your company of course...) When yo...

Vintageish

Nice!
I like the idea of the thermal mass of the iron for a more even heat too.

Vintageish

Heck of a haul! Seller definitely wanted you to have it.
Congrats.

Keep the compasses off the microwave too. Just in case you thought they would look good there.. L.o.l. Just to ensure it/they don't get demagnetized , or partially affected.

Vintageish

I tend to carry a few different reliable methods of producing fire when in remote areas, though I have never needed any of them. I still carry them however. Like a First Aid kit, some items just belong in the permanent kit. I suppose the most reliable in some ways would be a small block of magnesiu...

Vintageish

That's a serious keeper!

I like the generator tip cleaner lever.
And the globe being old.
And the box.

Well heck , I like it all!

Congrats.

Vintageish

Neat model.

Maybe it was set on stones or gravel then turned with a twist of the handle to bring the pump towards the user , but who knows how the bottom was scratched up for sure.
Honest use maybe.

Vintageish

Must have expected the size and weight and feel to reveal something less disappointing when they hacked into them with a blade.

A fun job. But someone has to do it!

Vintageish

A year! That's it. I quit! For an hour anyways. I have let up on pouncing on ratty specimens , kind of. Looking at the measly results of half a century plus , I should start holding out for nicer pieces. Maybe even a minty one... But then someone would want what half my collection cost for one piece...

Vintageish

Well honed skills Sir.. Far beyond mine , ever. I ran a centerless grinder a while. Manually around 3500 times a day. Stick a handheld part in between the wheels and use the lever to run the regulating wheel toward the main wheel and start part spinning , but letting go at just the right time to not...

Vintageish

Great stuff!

We raised Teddy Roosevelt rat terriers .
One I hunted squirrel with.
Those ears lock on , you can watch the muzzle and know where a rodent is.
Trust the dog, It's a partnership. And you have to do your part! L.o.l..

Congrats on the ratter.

Vintageish

Looking great!

Vintageish

We got it good when we can turn down stoves. Sometimes folks could use them that don't have em. I'm trying not to bring anymore home. At least till I get through the que of fettling and cleaning what's around already. But my well used bought new 425 from the seventies is still ready to rock. I don't...

Amateur! L.o.l..
