Kitchen Tools in the Shop Vs Shop Tools in the Kitchen

Greetings All

It's coming up to the time of year when we have our annual open house for all our friends and neighbors to drop in for a mug of hot chocolate, coffee or tea, or a glass of eggnog along with some home made munchies. In preparation, my wife bought a couple of mini muffin tins so she could make dainty mincemeat pies. Her smallest pastry cutter was the right size for the shell, but she needed to cut a 1¾" diameter top for each pie. When I came in for afternoon coffee, she told me of her dilemma, so I suggested she try my 1¾" gasket punch (after giving it a thorough wash). It worked a treat, so now we have 3 dozen more little treats for the open house All the best,

Sky

Hi Sky

I bet that event will turn out very nice.
I knew a man,not naming names, that used a muffin tin in the shop to keep small nut,bolts,and screws sorted.
If luffydog and I are out driving, we may drop by.........we are only 2
or 3 thousand miles away.
I hope all goes well and you and family have a wonderful Christmas

When I work at an office supply store working on calculators back in the 1980's, I was known to have anytime one in the breakroom's refrigerator or oven trying duplicate customer reported problems. Once I could duplicate the problem then could then pinpoint to problem using localize cold or heat applications. It also was a way to verify that my repairs were successful.

I was walking by the breakroom one day and over heard a new employee asking another one why there was a calculator in the frig. The other employee just replied "Oh that's Eugene's lunch".

Just had to be careful and wrap them in plastic to prevent bugs from escaping into the frig. The oven I just turn it up on high when done and vacuum out when it cooled back down. We got infested once because equipment having hidden bugs but that source was a donated water heater.

What r u using to clean those blocks in the washer? Know all about those donors washers and stoves they tend to give them away only if filled with mice and roaches. They make good gifts at this time of the year for those you really love.
