What is your recent "cheap thrill" ?

Looks lonely. It needs a new home. Or was it already yours?

 

Nope, it's hers.
Thought it interesting that I'd never seen one, and there one was....in her garage. Been in there many times, but never saw it.

 

I have one from Craftman's. Sanding belt brakes from time to time. Need to go easy with it as it can remove a lot of material with too much pressure.

 

Again, not cheap (sorry), but a thrill on a rainy weekend day. I got my chain making tools all mounted up on hardwood scraps so they are movable. I have decent sized shop, but it seems to always be filled up with lumber.

 

I hear really good things about them. It's no lake racer, but they seemed to have enough power to have fun on and get great mileage. I demo rode one when they first came out.

 

My wife and I ride quite a bit around here, we don't go very fast so I thought it would be a good sled for us.

 

That after 10 years i finally found someone that can cut my hair.

 

My cell phone light in a blackout. Lol.

 

Most smart phones have a flashlight app in them. It uses the flash led for the camera. It's the best. I used mine tonight to get a few ugly splits for the fire pit.

 

Do you have Android l, or lollipop? If so, no app needed, is built in.


Otherwise, go to Google app store, type in. "Flashlight". And pick the most used one. It's the best, you have a flashlight whenever you have your phone, which is always.

 

Yes, you should have lollipop if you updated your os on the phone in may or so. Go to the top menu, drop down, and then drop down again to see this
Then click on the flashlight. Done

 

Getting the backgears working in one of my vertical mills again. Now just have to put the other one back together. Variable drive blew out so replaced head with a different old step drive one. Used to be I could pick these kinds of heads really cheap ( $ 2-3 hundred) but as time has progressed and more cnc has become the norm the market is getting short supply wise on the manual mills, everyone thinks they are gold.

 

I bought a 48" farm jack from Tractor supply to pull T-Posts. What a labor saving devise!

 

My newest cheap thrill is that I pulled the trailer wiring and soldered the joints after disconnecting the crimp joints, and now the lights all work. YEEHAW!
Can't find my 'lectric tape, so off to the store I go.
Happy guy right here. Bout time I got sumthin right.

 

Throwing in a tap fuse and having a mom and dad and 2yr old cheer for me.

 

Figured for sure someone would say something about a cell phone on vibrate mode carried in their pocket....

 

In my county, the McDonald's coffee is $1.00 for a large. One of those seems to have 5 times the caffeine of a Starbucks. So my cheap thrill for a jump start is a Micky D's large with two creams.
