Air gun ??

isawlogs · August 17, 2011, 02:41:09 PM

I know used it late last week ... Think I could find it today :

I spend so much time looking for tools, there is just not enough time in a day to do stuff anymore :-\

And here I thought you were starting a thread about pellet guns. :D

isawlogs · August 17, 2011, 03:47:15 PM

Ah Bill, I got over them pellet guns a long time ago , the use of powder was awarded to me and never looked back.

oh contraire my friend, I have a pellet gun that put's out 1400 feet per second It actually has a recoil pad. I also have armor piercing pellets if you can believe that. Fruit rats don't stand a chance.

to many beans gives you an air gun 8)

tcsmpsi · August 17, 2011, 06:43:21 PM

I don't even know how many I have....but, I can almost always find one. ;D

I can find every air gun I own usually when I'm looking for something else cause when I'm looking for them they seem to be camo color laying strategically under some thing that is just big enough to hide them but not big enough to force me to pick it up to look under them...

I looked for one 4 times this week, to blow dry some concrete prior to applying glue for a sill plate. gave up used my tee shirt. tossed tee shirt onto bench & knocked two blow guns onto the floor :

:D I hosed off the wood dust & swept it up but was wet enough to not grab the PL400...

I too initially though pellet guns, I have a 1000FPS Rugar that takes out wood chucks ;) It kicks some which makes it hard to keep aim due to the spring revers kick that buggs me but is very accurate.

Don't feel bad I can't find half of my tools eather. I put them in a place where I can find them then forget where that spot is :D If I had a quarter for every time I walked to the house and asked my wife to come down to the shop and see if she see's it. Sometimes I look past it and just miss it.

isawlogs · August 18, 2011, 07:31:17 PM

:D :D
Lucky for you she don't charge ya dat quarter ;D

My mother's uncle had a place in his shop for every tool and nail and such. When he wanted to use something it was where it was suppose to be because he always put it back when done. ;)

isawlogs · August 18, 2011, 08:23:57 PM

I'm never done :

SwampDonkey · August 18, 2011, 08:30:21 PM

I'm not quite as organized, but not bad. Still there is stuff that goes missing. I have a drafting triangle that got miss placed last winter between here and the shop. You think I can find that thing, nope. And it was, I thought, sitting on my work table in the shop. :

isawlogs · August 18, 2011, 09:39:01 PM

good thing I have six chainsaws here, swear ta god sometimes those things have legs :

And those have a dedicated home ta boot. :-\

My Dad's shop is so organized he can tell in an instant if I borrowed anything!! Mine on the other hand, I wish it was so organized.

Hey you guys are lucky... you have garages to lose your tools in.....me I just have a redneck workshop that I can walk into turn around and walk out of.... It is supposed to house all of my tools ... usually the biggest tool in there is me. :D :D If I look for a tool today I might find it next week and by then I can't remember what I needed it for when I do find it.... It's a really vicious circle and part of the reason I bought a sawmill..... so I can build more room to lose things. ;) ;D

submarinesailor · August 19, 2011, 06:46:18 AM

Coon,

I know exactly what you are saying. And getting old isn't helping any at all.

Most frustating thing about searching for the darn tools is that I remember what I used it for and when .. its where I put it down that haunts me :

:-\ the thought " I know I put it here " agravates me :D :D :D

SwampDonkey · August 19, 2011, 08:37:55 AM

Loosing that triangle pithed me off as if it was a $180 hand tool. You can't buy the duplicate anywhere in these parts. :D

Raider Bill · August 19, 2011, 08:40:55 AM

I set down my lighted magnified glasses 2 weeks ago. Still haven't found them.

isawlogs · August 19, 2011, 07:03:14 PM

If'n I was you maybe I would just about to be starting to think I may be wanting to look for a unlighted magnafine glasses ans still not find it ;D

Brucer · August 21, 2011, 02:28:09 AM

9 times out of 10, whatever it is, it turns out to be in my back pocket :D.

SwampDonkey · August 21, 2011, 07:00:13 AM

Well I got lucky. I was in Presque Isle, Maine yesterday and stopped into Staples and found my triangle on the rack. 8) The old one I had for 25 years. Pays to be brand loyal, they stick around. ;)
