    Default OT: new use for a bent E30 bottlecap...

    ...doing some shop organization, and needed something better to hang the air hose on.

    Yes, that's a 15-amp circuit that stuff's on. I haven't tripped it yet! That's an early-60's era Saylor-Beall compressor my grandpa used to use to work on dump trucks. I don't let it go much over 65 psi or so...

    In my neighborhood, some folks use a similar, yet arguably less tastefull technique for hanging their garden hose.

    BTW, I love your 'in-garage library'. I believe you've given me a new project.
