Vacuum Cleaner Hangs From Rope Above Work Bench
Edwin Ruff, Boise, Idaho: “I hang a small vacuum cleaner from a rope directly above my work bench. The rope runs through pulleys to a counter balancing weight along one wall. I pull the vacuum down to vacuum up debris on my work bench. When I’m done I just lift it back up out of the way.“The rechargeable battery on my 12-volt cordless drill went bad, so I attached 2 wires to the end of a wooden block that installs in place of the battery to make contact with the drill’s power plugs. I then attached a regular house plug to the wires. I can then plug that into an extension cord with alligator clips on the other end. They hook up to the battery on my pickup. Works great.
“I soak rusty parts in Coca-Cola overnight to clean them. Works good. And believe it or not, Coca-Cola is a great marinade for cooking meat. I use it for roasts and make gravy from the Coke and meat drippings.”
