Looks like I may be busy shifting over threads like the welding table thread as I come across them again. Anyone who has a favorite one in particular, let me know. Just post the link to the thread you think belongs in this section here and one of us can move it. I know there have been plenty here on stock storage, welding tables and so on that would fit well.

 

I texted Steve and he said he was cool with it. I figured you would be too Doug. It's kinda a no brainer. There's been some excellent shop threads (like Jack Olsens shop) that get buried in other sub sections and then are difficult to find. This will streamline things and hopefully make shop oriented threads easy to access.

 

This should help with finding certain topics that usually go in the projects section. Looking forward to see what comes up.

 

Great idea for a sub forum

 

Stuck 5 gal buckets

Tired of getting stacked 5 gal buckets apart? Just run 3 equal spaced beads of construction glue down the sides and let dry to hardness. Works great for me. When you set it down to dry
drop the handle so it doesn't touuch the glue.

Neat trick.
I doubt it will work when truck driver brings back a stack of empty buckets
nested together with a big ratchet strap over them cranked up trucker tight.

 

How does this trick cause them to come unstuck?

 

I think it’s to keep them from getting stuck together
rather than being used to get them apart when stuck?

 

I just blow them apart with a jet of compressed air. DO NOT stand over them when you do.

 

And if you don't have compressed air, spray some ether between the buckets, let it soak a second, then light it!
