Airtools in the loungeroom

[dobbo]

I have a 240v compressor and air tools set up in the lounge room, I just did a pre race rebuild on my MTB so found it easier to pump the tyres up to 60psi using the compressor instead of my lungs.

Whilst I have it inside I have blown the dust from all the hard to get places, re hinged a door. Assembled some Ikea in such record time I could make the Swedish Olympic team.

So what will SWMBO say when she gets home and eyes my precious new toys sitting in the corner of the lounge room?

Is it acceptable bloke type furniture or has the fridge monkey stolen to many of my beers this arvo?

Most do

but, I broke mine last week therefore the only options I had on hand was (as previously posted) my 240v air compressor or my lungs.

Hey don't blame the fridge monkey, I'd question that little fella who turns the light on and off, he works pretty hard you know! :p

I would also question the little bloke who flicks the switch to turn the cooler on and off !

Can you please post up a listing of parts that will be available to AULRO members in the near future?

I have a funny feeling that SWMBO will be having a sale in the very near future... Besides, there isn't much room in the dog house for all of your toys...

Hey Dobbo
I have a mate who rebuilds engines/gearboxes/diffs and anything else in his house!!!! Has 2 bedrooms full of parts:cool::cool::cool:
He also does donuts on the lino in the kitchen with his 1200cc Motoguzzi.
He is as feral as you get and blessed with being happily single:cool::cool::cool::cool:
Another mate almost got divorced at the time.6 month old house,very speccy has EVERYTHING.
Mrs came home to find a Bultaco mojobike engine block being cooked in HER $2000 oven in HER $300 baking dish.All he was doing was expanding it to fit new bearings.
She NEVER got over it,he now has a young girlfriend!!!
BEWARE,choose your path well.

thats an easy fix build a bigger shed (include shower and bed)

[easo]

Wasn't there some bloke who build a whole racer in his living room and the had the wall knocked out to get it out?

[dobbo]

Mongoose Tyax comp

It's not too flash as to get knocked off on the train but it's not too shabby on the fire trails. It can survive multiple 3ft jumps with a fat bastard riding it. A D2 can't without extensive straightening. Don't ask me how I know.

oh dear.....
when i read the title then saw the author.....i was expecting a thread on inflatable dolls......


i once used our granite dining table as a work bench for two weeks......
there was just enough room on one end for two dinner plates.......

the rest of it had a couple of rc cars being rebuilt......no...they werent electric either....they were both nitro engines.....
there was buggy cleaner and oils etc. everywhere......




the only thing i still dont understand to this day is she never got upset.....
she never picked the whole lot up and throw it outside for some reason.....


i think that upsets me more than if she did.......

guess ill never understand how they think......


she did however get upset when i was hammering away.....she was worried i was gonna break the table.........

[Grockle]

I used to keep my Suzuki GSX 1100 behind the sofa, ride in through the kitchen pull out the sofa roll it back into place, push sofa back, I thought it made a nice feature,SWMBO wasn't too keen thow ;)

I have met some strange and dodgy folk over the years, I am yet to meet one you has admitted to owning, let alone using one of these.

But then, I don't run in the same circles as you. How is Mr Sheen and the rest of the err cleaning crew? They still ripping off Centrelink? I hear that their control arms aren't the only thing that swing whilst they're off road.

Well done on the compressor.

I managed to move all the lounge stuff into the 'family' room and set up the lounge room for my hobbies without getting any problems about it (well, it gets too cold in the winter to be out in the garage).

She once complained about the mess (cos visitors have to walk past it to get to the family room) but I sorted that out - I put a screen across the worst of it.

[bblaze]

just put a bloody shelf on the compressor and call it a coffee table, easy fix
cheers
blaze
ps
I have a small compressor that seems to live mostly inside for house reno's

Hey i had most of my rover in the bedroom while building it so i could do a bit each night before bed..
But then again for those of you who seen my posts in the mudpit will remember what gets done in my shed....
i think thats why everyone was offering to help LOL...
i think dobbo mite be a bit like me & the misses so he probly still has the pics somewhere...

[isuzutoo-eh]

I have a lathe and most of my hand tools in my bedroom, used to have a pedestal drill there too, 3 girlfriends haven't complained so far...but swarf in bed is a bit of a mood killer, so one of them gave me a vacuum cleaner for my birthday

Usually when they're window shopping for something expensive :(.
