Wierd scenes inside the goldmine

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Wed Jul 02, 2008 7:55 pm

just a thought

BUT

how many other people have some wierd things inside their workshop?

I mean, as I was tidying up today, I stopped and looked at the hairdryer I have - for dealing with heat shrink and removing decals

then I saw my can of hairspray - for securing bar grips....

then my tub of vaseline, for sealing my airbox....

made me think abit - what other wierd and wonderful things people may have in their work shops - and the reason why....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I've got one of my daughter's dolly's feeding bottle with a length of tube on the long pointy teat.

Squeeze the air out then use it to suck fork oil or squeez back in to get the level right.
