Random Cool Tricks

The magic mind of redneck-ism at it's finest!

 

I'll just leave this here.

Not photoshop. That's a friend's hand and found while cleaning out a house for an estate sale.

Ideas?

 

Was a test ammo in the 70`s folded ammo 5.56x22 to find the most eficient shape.very rare!

 

I've been wondering why they didn't do that years ago . Never even crossed my mind to try and invent it myself .

 

I never could find shit on it. The man who's estate it was had been rumored at the Skunk Works and Area 51 (not the loony stuff) back in the day.

 

Randomly playing ice cream truck music on my computer speakers at work. This is just mean, but I have great fun watching the office clear out looking for the truck. For some of them it's the best exercise they've had all week. I didn't know the big girls could move so fast.

Hahaha! That's evil. I love it!

 

Vietnam era bandoliers did double duty holding 20 round magazines.

When we adopted the 30 round magazine the bandolier was too short. The solution was the white stitching you see across the pouches. It held the boxed ammo up where it was accessible. It also let the bandolier fit in the same ammo can as the old one.
Once all the ammo was loaded into magazines the string could be pulled, the stitching would unravel and the pouches would be deep enough to hold a standard 30 round magazine.


You can never have too much ammo or too many loaded magazines unless you're on fire or drowning.

 

You can carry ammo or you can carry Chow. You may be hungry, but you won’t run dry....

 

When I need a razor blàde to scrape off pesky stickers I hate getting out to find one and then climbing back in. So I stage them on the lift within easy reach from the driver's seat.
I know I'll never grab one by accident, because the spot where the blade sits had several years of undisturbed dust on it.

 

Lantern and lamp tuning tip, but could be applied to other things. In this case let's say the mixing chamber on a lantern or a burner tube is loose. The threads aren't getting a good hold and the fit is wobbly.

The threaded end of brass tube can be reshaped if out of round, or expanded if it's worn by using a big screwdriver. Insert the blade into the tube, apply a little pressure and rotate the screwdriver in the tube. Go slow, check the fit often. Apply a little more pressure until you get the desired fit.

The rounded edge of the taper on many screwdrivers looks like it was made to do this job.

 

Also, if you have the need to bend or straighten a piece of tubing but don't have a bender, you can fill the tube with sand or sugar. Filling the tube will keep the walls from collapsing.

 

I had a welding shop in Okinawa Japan use the sand method to bed the exotic curves in the exhaust on my rotary Datsun 510.

 

Having vacuumed broken glass out of headliners and all the way down to the rocker boxes from a broken sunroof glass I'm a huge advocate of window tint on all glass panels. Even if it's 0%, it will keep the tempered glass from shattering all over the interior of your vehicle if it gets hit with 4" hail... a baseball bat, or a bicycle lock.
