Thread: What are you working on?

Another thing pickle juice is good for is relieving the burn when you burn a hand or finger. Found that out when working at a fast food joint.

Mosquito bites and wasp-stings! Handy to have a little vial around!

And jellyfish stings

I like pickled peppers, more than pickles. But I usually eat a few each day, typically before bedtime. Now, if I could only get my wife to eat a pickle every night.

Careful there

She can't stand the smell of um, Dave. She even smells them on my breath, hours later. Same with mustard.

Ha. Don't eat a Gyro. They have staying power!

I was thinking since the top unscrews Id start with nothing in the handle, try it out then add some fishing weights with plastecine to hold them in place, try it out again, add more weights ,try again etc etc etc... Then once Im set on a certain heft epoxy the weights in

Thanks for getting this thread back on track. Who knows where it would have gone otherwise.

I normally do as Tom said. Fill them with a large bolt, nuts, washers. Make sure there is room for the epoxy to flow to the bottom and sides and filler up to where it should be for the knot. I have one that weights one pound. Heavy for sure but i have no issue whipping up some lather with it.
