That's the problem. You never point load a cinder block. They are meant for the load to be evenly distributed, in a bed of mortar.

Got paid mulch........
 

Dick,

Your tool is the upgraded version welded to a nice handle. Mine is the poor man's version (Home Depot wood paddle).

I used the above contraption for turning this high compression engine that I rebuilt for a friend (a landscaper) for some mulch my wife needed for her tiny garden.

I like it!!

Which one?
 

The tool or the engine?

Tony

I gotta say, this tool has taken the lead given my humble opinion.

How many more times you think we need to tell Karl not to use cinder blocks?

Six more times? How bout fifty?

I was thinking that seventeen more times might make an impression.

It's the wrong thing to do. Karl was aware of that when he set it up.

He rolled the dice and lived.

The end.

I would rather see more discussion on tricking out the volley ball.

Was it a German volley ball? If you did write Wilson on it, should it be in Porsche font?

And I thought my cinder blocks would take "Top Tool." Damm Bob... very disappointed here. However, I do appreciate all the love from you guys as in "you ass-hole Karl, cinder blocks will kill you." I did make it past that gauntlet SmileWavy (And very astute on the weight spread Bob. That was key that ONLY YOU noticed.) The V-ball... made in Zuffenhausen --- I know it's hard to make the "Made in" print out. Top Tool (after cinder blocks IMHO): Tony's tape-wrench used to make 911 mulch.

Edited - personal attack removed.. -Z-man. It's all good. You do it again, you are on your own, Bro. :D

You know, I had a stick that I used to prop the trunk hood up. Made in Wiessach printed on it. (Prototype test stick - 959 part number)

Here is an idea from Tippy I am shamelessly stealing. I have used WD 40 on old ratio volume knobs (on the inside of the radio/pre-amp/amp) with great success.

Tom, I'm assuming the top is a plug of some sorts and the bottom thing-a-ma-Tom the tool --- nice BTW! Call me dumb-dumb... but what is the "plug?" Looks familiar but I can't place it.

One of the 2 plugs on the oil thermostat for the front oil line by the passenger rear wheel.

I use a "Toonie" ($2 coin) clamp in a vise grip, one came off and the other one bent the "Toonie".

the wooden handle!!

Method - Sealing Windshield to Car
 

Sealing windshield to car with Ace's mat black electrical tape. (Not 3m's tape which is more glossy.) Definitely won't pass Concourse inspection but if you don't know it's there, probably wouldn't notice it (given black-on-black materials.) No more dripping from under dashboard and subsequent swampy floor mats.

Here is a topic I posted last year about temporarily fixing my alternator. I was planning to fix it this past spring, but I haven't done it yet. About 4,000 ams later and the alternator is still working fine. Maybe I'll fix it properly next year. I guess this qualifies as alternative thinking.
