A fun thread of the grief you have gotten for rebuilding, working on etc. in the house instead of the garage.

IE: Using the kitchen table and cake pans to rebuild carbs.

Remember this is a fun thread no bashing or name calling boys and girls.

 

I've rebuilt a few Rx-7 carbs on the kitchen table....

 

I just did my 1904 holley for the 48 on the coffee table. Wife was a little upset.

 

Mom flipped out when I was about 12. Dad was in north Dakota working the oil fields in the early 80's when Midwest farming sucked. Well without him around I got bored and grabbed a couple old starters he had to play around with rebuilding them. Mom found them under my bed, she followed the grease stains on my bedroom carpet. She had a cow, and I had a red ***. Then a month later when the starter went out on her truck, guess who was the hero an hour later. Still never got an "I'm sorry for paddling your ***." lol[/QUOTE]

 

Bench bleeding master cylinders! Works perfect. A good vise on the kitchen table adds that certain something. Chicks dig that. Careful so's ya don't get any DOT 3 on yer shoes.

2 sets of heads, lower intake, water pump, lifters. Wife wasn't happy each time. It's a really good thing she loves me.

 

I put my carrier bearings in the oven, at 300 degrees, so I could tap them onto the carrier.

 

Been there, done that. Wife said "I use that thing to cook with", guess my reply shouldn't have been, "If that's what you call it". and that's how the fight started........

 

Dishwasher works good for a parts cleaner. Wife was not happy but hey,at least I won't get grease on my bandages when I get out of the hospital!

 

Ported heads for my 460 in '53 I had several years ago on kitchen table in winter. Do you know how far cast iron dust can go? Guess how pleased my Honey was.

 

Have a 4 cylinder Ninja 900 motor on it right now ... started as a simple clutch rebuilding but it became a full bore rebuild and paint in the process. If you ever saw the movie Top Gun, it's that bike .....

 

Heck ! I thought I was the only one Wife hates A set of carbs off your bike in the dishwasher

 

Assembled my Holley 4160 for my '79 at the coffee table.

 

A hot plate in the garage keeps ya from getting a hot headed wife in the house.

 

Does casting bullets with a pot of molten lead on the kitchen table count?
