I’ve posted about the apron before. After wearing it for a while, there is good and bad things about it. The shop apron is nice to keep dust off of your clothes and to hold some tools. The down side is it keeps a bunch of sawdust in the pockets. The #rzmask makes me breathe easier. Much nicer than not using a mask.
Shop shoes for the summer.
Being comfortable can be the make or break attribute to getting things done. Sure there are the hard core people that say there shouldn’t be anything that stops someone from completing a chore. When your feet hurt, sometimes that is all you can think about. After a few years of the same boots and a couple small leaks, it was time to get a new pair. Usually, I get a large pair of boots that are really built for anything. That doesn’t mean they are the most comfortable. This year a pair of work shoes have been chosen. The heat and humidity can really make someone want put off a project. This year, it won’t be because of feet.
After listening to Jody on WT&T, they say don’t let them sit without running
Welding Tips and Tricks is a good podcast to listen to when wanting to learn to weld a little better. The experience they have is outstanding, and can help us hobbyists from making mistakes. The episode I am referring to now, they talked about engine driven welders. While I don’t have one, they mainly talked about small engine maintenance. Most of us DIY types have a few small engines to maintain. So, on a sunny afternoon, these three were drug out and ran for a while. Good thing, as two of them didn’t want to start easily. A tip I heard on the podcast was to get gasoline without ethanol. I will get that next time I need to buy a jug of gas.
