@Sprokitz That really stinks when that happens! Been there done that .
I did it with urethane caulk once and had to wear it for weeks. Nothing would take it off.

Looks like you have a stow-away @cmeyer25 ! lol
Congrats !

My dad was a asbestos worker all his life and told me that anytime you have to remove it to soak it with water so no dust gets airborne . He also said it was better to encapsulate it than to remove it.
I would try to find out if for sure it is asbestos . If not just rip it off. If it is asbestos I would follow @ kurt@welkerhomes.com advice .

@JimDaddyO I have never seen any wrenches like that before. What are they made for ?

@Doobie Now your wife can put the hunny-do list on a clipboard and tape it to your forehead ! LOL

That was quite a score @Miamicuse . I have been thinking about what to do with all my tools since I just retired. I don’t think I am ready to part with them yet. I try to let my wife know the value of them though so she can sell them when I am gone. I have given a few tools that I have doubles of to the young guys at work.

@Doobie , yes I have a…[Read more]

Welcome to BTP @Ult1mat3X . Don’t be shy !

I found the Dewalt blades flex terrible . I was using a 7 1/4″ Dewalt on my skill saw to cut a miter for butcher block countertops. Brand new blade flexed terrible.

Went to a auction yesterday. I scored pretty good!
Hegner scroll saw $30
Bosch 3283 DVS sander $10
Bench vice $7.50

Had to cut up a big tree top that fell during the storm we had. We were very lucky that it missed our house. Now my back hurts so bad I can’t even stand up strait and can only walk if I am all bent over. Lets hope this gets better soon. I knew I shouldn’t have tried doing that job!
