Last year's moment of clarity came when I got most of the tools out of the toolbox and on to the wall. It definitely made each job easier, but it still required numerous trips back and forth across the shop to get things....and then put everything away. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take...

The dude literally stumbled into a gold mine worth a lot more than his racing sponsors. JB

They couldn't even begin to pay for that kind of publicity. Practically free ubiquity. What's not to love? JB

So I'm just trying to get a visual of your work table / bench. I see you're a little heavy on the solvents, but hey....that's ok. It looks like there's still room for one roll of vinyl under there. JB

More times than not, yes....that's the case. But every once in a while there's something with "good bones" that takes just a tiny bit of tweaking to make it work. JB

Hold onto your wallet. And they're not very well equipped for storage beneath. http://www.speedpress.com/products/2/24

Check with your local high school / vocational school shop teacher. I bet they'd be able to put something together for you. JB

It wouldn't take but a couple of hours to put together something like the one I have. You wouldn't have to use sheet metal. A few 2 x 4s, a sheet of 3/4" plywood, and a rhino mat and you're done. Harbor Freight tool carts are inexpensive as well. JB

Here's an easy idea for making one... We just had a factory close that had 20 of these carts with a 3' x 5' steel top for $125 each (11 gage reinforced top with 6-inch steel casters). I bought one and could have kicked myself for not getting a couple more, but I just don't have the room. They...

I suppose the "push" is there but it's usually hidden in the education. The ultimate goal is to make sure the client continues to echo your message long after you leave. In a sense, they set the hook themselves. I've yet to see a beer or fancy car commercial flat-out asking you to buy. It's...

This may sound crazy, but I love to do "in-person" cold calls. I abhor the words "sales pitch". As a former teacher, all my presentations are purely education / informing, and sometimes begin with a conversation totally unrelated to the matter at hand. With that said, I refuse to be a...

Become friends with people who know people....Bankers, Realtors, Merchants, Administrators, Sales people, etc.... But beware. Never (I repeat, never) use a relationship with the ultimate goal of making a sale. Understand that it takes time to establish yourself and gain momentum. In his...

We have a winner in aisle #1. JB

Everything is awesome. I'm loving those boat motor lamps. JB

Invest in a smoke eater. They are essentially a giant ionizer (electronic dust magnet) that attracts microscopic particles. After the smoking ban in restaurants occurred, the second-hand market was flooded with them. You may be able to find a used one for a good price. JB

Very smart move. Their website is jaw dropping. JB

It's a curse that many creative people bear. The pursuit of a good idea literally becomes a compulsive "pair of blinders" that takes over, and nothing else takes priority. In reality, it's essentially the same as any other compulsive behavior. However the outcomes are usually much better...

Be inspired...be very inspired: You're not getting much done anyway, so go ahead...waste an hour or so here: https://machineagelamps.com/

Then let's not forget the Tadpole. These things are the bomb. JB

Why not. Hitler ripped it off from the (Asian) Indians and called it his own. It's still used in Buddhist and other faiths. If some wild-a$$ street gang decides to call themselves H2O I'm not giving up water. JB...
