Not your traditional garage

[tuscarora dave]

Well I live in a home with no garage but wanted to show off some of my detailing stuff. I call this the "Poorboy's Room". I recently was able to score this room when the tenant who lived in it was thrown out.:props::buffing:Im the MAN

awesome! nice collection.

I recognize the wheel brush from walmart lol... Nice collection of stuff!!

Don't hang your buffers by the cords.
They have a strain relife but they still tend to pull out and short out the buffer.
And as we all know we might be buffing on a damp/wet floor pluged into a receptacle that is not grounded/wired wrong/feed by 100 year old knob and tube...................

Your collection looks great !!!!!!!!!
Much better than mine.

I spy Liquid Natty's Blue! I just used mine today...

Thanks for the advice, I know all about old knob and tube. You bring up a very good point. I'll have to look into a better way.

WOW knob and tube, I haven't thought about that in years. I used to be an electrician and had to work on that stuff, very scary!

Nice collection, looks like you could cut a door in behind that car seat and get a car in there, LOL!

Nice room dude! I want to re do my garage to fit all my detailing stuff in so it quits crowding up my Gun Closet like crazy.

I noticed you have a sonic scrubber in there. How do you like it? Do you use it often?

[rohnramirez]

Hmmm...i'm thinking of relocating...somewhere near your neighboorhood. lol.

Awesome man-cave!!! Might wanna install a good sound system if you also do your detailing there. :)

It doesn't work at all, I just keep it because it is ok for hand scubbing carpet tight against the seat tracks. As far as it being an operational tool it's not a good buy, it is a bit to stiff to use on anything that can be scratched but it is handy for what I use it for.

I love mine. Works great on small stains on carpets, headliners, and other upholstered areas. It also comes with a lug nut brush.

Taken from Wikipedia :)

Knob and tube wiring (sometimes abbreviated K&T) was an early standardized method of electrical wiring (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Electrical_wiring) in buildings, in common use in North America from about 1880 to the 1930s.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Knob_and_tube_wiring#cite_note-0)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Knob_and_tube_wiring#cite_note-Schneider-1) It consisted of single insulated copper (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Copper) conductors (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Electrical_conductor) run within wall or ceiling cavities, passing through joist (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Joist) and stud (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Stud) drill-holes via protective porcelain insulating tubes, and supported along their length on nailed-down porcelain knob insulators. Where conductors entered a wiring device such as a lamp or switch, or were pulled into a wall, they were protected by flexible cloth insulating (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Electrical_insulation) sleeving called "loom". The first insulation was asphalt-saturated cotton cloth, then rubber became common. Wire splices in such installations were twisted for good mechanical strength (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Mechanical_strength), then soldered (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Solder) and wrapped with rubber insulating tape and friction tape (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/Friction_tape) (asphalt saturated cloth), or made inside metal junction boxes.
Knob and tube wiring was displaced from interior wiring systems because of the high cost of installation compared with use of power cables, which combined both power conductors of a circuit in one run (and which later included grounding conductors).

oh... i thought it was some kinda old saying. thanks
