Duck Pond Redneckery

[Duck]

Well damn it! I get to Ace Hardware to get a toggle switch & look at this!



I WANTED MY LAND OF LINCOLN SWITCH PLATE!

 

[Duck]

New switch works.

What a waste of a perfectly good license plate. Who would've thought Ace Hardware would have an exact replacement switch for my ten year old Chinese drill press? Those BASTARDS.



Redneckery averted.

I should've just gotten the regular toggle switch.

How to hang stuff on the wall in a steel building without installing a permanent hook.







No idea what I'm going to do with that copper wire but I don't want it on the floor & it doesn't need to be easily accessible.

 

[Duck]

Simplified version, after I found a longer scrap of conduit to use.

Exiled to the barn, cuz th' ol' lady is gonna kill ya if ya keep on hangin' out at th' house, eh?

Yes. You could not possibly be any more correct.

Mark it on your calendar, @ironpony was right about something....

I just stepped in the house to grab a pack of smokes & make coffee because the thing I'm making now is still glowing red & I have to let it cool. If I dunk it in water it'll make it brittle.

She noticed I was in the house & turned on the flame thrower because I haven't been answering my phone.

I told her I didn't answer my phone because if I wanted to listen to whining & b****ing I wouldn't be out in the barn.

That statement was not received well.

 

[Tazz]

Imagine that. Just out of curiosity why didn't she just walk out to the barn instead of using the phone?

 

[Duck]

Because she's the laziest f***ing person I know.

She's like that kid in that commercial who's playing video games at his grandma's house and calls the land line with his cell phone & says "Hey Grandma, how about another grape soda?"

 

[Duck]

I made this today.



It's really strong and heavy.

And I burned my C-clamps.

 

[ironpony]

Time to get serious... you need a stocked fridge (beer,) a major wide screen tube and a very comfortable couch. Yer in exile... make it exile in style!

Never seen it but my cure for both of them would be the same.

Look over there, under the airplane wing. Wazzat?

 

[Tazz]

Your new bed??

 

[Duck]

That thing I made last night...

Goes on this thing:







The original one was made out of 3/16" beer can metal ( ) and has been broken since the dawn of time.

New one is made of 3/8" X 3".

All better now. No more wiggling & squeaking.

 

[Duck]

Oh and there is nothing better than having a blow gun hanging from overhead at the drill press & vise.

Nothing.

Not even pizza.

Hmm, I wonder what shipping would cost to get that plane over here... You don't seem to be using it I got myself a set of plans to build my own Jodel D11, gonna take me a long time and a lot of wood.

You better find some 80 year old cabinet maker to teach you everything he knows. It's not like building a workbench out of 2x4's.

Look into a Kitfox. I'm pretty sure it's a tube frame. I actually have the skills and tools to do that now.

F*** that precision carpentry stuff.

 

[Kiwi303]

Or I could go rob a bank, hide the cash ready for when I get out. Then after they track me down and lock me up, "Rehabilitation" involves training... I bet that you can find a jail teaching inmates carpentry.

Unlike a starving student having to subsist on instant noodles and beer while paying for the education himself... it's 3 solid square meals, a warm bed, exercise provided and education all provided by the Crown.


Hmmm..... What is that old joke about Medicare retirement and medical plan number 9mm again?

 

[Duck]

It's not that complicated. I learned light gauge gas welding in high school.

 

[Kiwi303]

All I know is stick welding... on the other hand, welding 1.2mm tube with 1.6mm stick is a challenge.
