Something for your bench
Hello all, Pretty new on here but not new to aviation, been wrenching on heavy aircraft mostly here in Fairbanks starting in 1977. Toss in a few years of GA in the middle of all that and I hope I picked up a trick or two. This ones odd enough I thought someone might find it useful. Normal day here one day a couple years ago at Everts Air Cargo, late summer, building maintenance guys doing some plumbing refurb stuff in my shop and there was a need to abandon a 4" ABS sewer pipe that went into the concrete floor. They Sawzall cut it off flush and then proceeded to pump it full of spray can single part foam. Normal stuff. They finish up, I go about my business, go home after work. Work resumes the next morning, I show up. Time to roll the TIG welder back into place against the wall where the work was done. Fine except for the softball sized glob of now hardened foam sticking up out of the old pipe. No problem. I grabbed a bare hacksaw blade and slice it off flush. Eyeball the trash can and then it hits me. Don't like to waste things, pack rat forever, love multi purpose anything.
Picture pretty self explanatory. Short partially used welding rod was the real first use but it has blossomed from there. Straws from aerosol cans, scissors, my Welper pliers, pens, pencils, drill bits, you get the idea. Always a place to put the items that are generally cluttering up the bench.
Hope this makes a difference! Oz
