    tats up the arm..

    Inky... No disrespect intended, and apols if it seemed like I was making a judgement on tattoo's. My point was that you can tell who really loves something and is in it for the long haul, as opposed to those that are conforming to the herd. Enjoy your body art and more power to you! Talbot

    tats up the arm..

    I have followed it since the late 70's and I lament for it now. It's not really about the music, the sound has been adopted by a group of of 'kustom kar kulture greaser lifestylers' that all look and behave the same. If they find comfort in that, that's OK, but its not for me. I just...

    Would you invite them over for dinner?

    Vintage Phones

    There may be other polishes, but I always get good results using Brasso on bakelite. Works a treat. Talbot

    Would you invite them over for dinner?

    Absolutely do it. You will learn lots of interesting things about your home, and possibly make some new friends. Years ago, in my previous house, I heard my wife talking to people in the front yard. Turns out it was the children of a previous owner going for a walk in the old neighborhood...

    Interest check: Antique radio MP3 players/iPod docks

    Johnny B, Don't be too hard on yourself with your early efforts, new skills take time to acquire. Things that seem pretty straightforward often have a few tricks to them. Pick up a book on auto body repair, it will help with the plastic bodies. Things like skim coats and the like will...

    Never forget a face?

    I'm often recognized by people I have no recall of. Can be a bit awkward sometimes. I usually ask them what they are up to these days, and eventually the bits fall into place.

    Antique Shop Finds

    Down under, I find antique store prices aimed at what the market will bear so I avoid checking them out. I understand that supply of stock for these guys can be limited and that dealers in general make their money on margin not volume. I stick to thrift stores, and the money goes to charity...

    Interest check: Antique radio MP3 players/iPod docks

    Nice project, looks like you have a lot of support here. I'd hold off talking $$ until you know what your costs are IMHO. I have a couple of portable radios from the late 40's through to the late 50's that I have been threatening to do this to, but can't bring myself to gut them. Go for...

    Vintage Sunglasses

    I have just picked up a pair of Wilson Sunglasses. Tortoise shell frames and green lenses. They are a bit wide at the ears and need to be bought in. I have seen somewhere here, but can't for the life of me remember where, instructions on how to soften the plastic so it can be bent without...

    All hope is not lost

    I too walk on the outside with my wife. Not only is it polite, travelling in some countries in Europe and South East Asia, it is to protect from bag snatchers on scooters. If my teenage daughter is along, I go Loose Duece. Talbot

    Bad Table Manners

    I was invited hunting, quite an honor I'm told. Unfortunately there really wasn't much time. Besides, I hadn't brought my hunting boomerang along:rolleyes: Send that rain down under, please

    Bad Table Manners

    When holding a wine glass... ...is it 'correct' etiquette to hold it by the stem or the bowl?
