I'm not a hand tool guy. (Yet) but I had fun tonight sharpening and tuning in my grandfather jack plane. All I know is that it's a craftsman. It was pretty smooth. I cant imagine how Smooth a @Veritas or @lienielsentoolworks plane would be. #thegarageengineer #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting

Yeah! New notebook. I tried duck tape to hold pens to notebooks but the edges always became too sticky. I am trying this @3m expressions masking tape. Not as sticky so we'll test it out. Anybody have recommendations for this type of application? #thegarageengineer #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting #notebook

I love my @blundstoneusa I've have beat on them for over 4years are they are still going strong. Light as a feather. And as I found out yesterday,waterproof. All the way up to the elastic sides, so about 4 inches. I stood in a deep puddle and no leaks. Don't be afraid to changes the insoles they wear out over time but it is easy to replace. Get the nice replacement insoles at REI.

Remember to change your lawnmower's oil, fuel filter, and spark plug. (I know you put it off last season). Treat your lawn mower nice so she will work hard for you this season. #thegarageengineer #ABC #AlwaysBeCutting
