The use of domestic appliances in bike maintenance

[BigTim]

have i seen what babe?

no dunno where it is (shuts garage door)

I'd have used the glass one because it would be easy to wash completely clean again.

Or you could have rolled up a piece of shiny paper or cut the top off a plastic bottle and used that as a funnel.

I have an oven specifcially for workshop use now. Snagged it when a neighbour was having her kitchen rennovated. Just need a dishawasher now..

Would it be wrong to have a dishwasher in the shed for bike parts but none in the kitchen?

I've lobbed parts in the dishwasher before, makes a bit of a fucking mess of the dishwasher though. It needs a 'service' wash afterwards with some nasty cleaning products so, meh i wouldn't particularly want to ingest anything my bikes have shat out.

Spoons for tyre leavers rarely ends well.

On the other side:
For a while I've used my battery drill for the spiraliser - because why wouldn't you want 120NM to spaghettise your carrots?

I've now worked out it easily replaces the electric whisk too - but it turns out 2000rpm is a bit TOO much - keep it to second gear!

Oh and yes 'Flambe burner' is of course a MAPP blow torch.

Testicular cancer used to be also called ' spinners cancer' ( as in spinning cotton) the mineral oil used to fly off and wet the front of workers clothing. When I worked in engineering we had a poster up about the dangers of oil and checking for testicular cancer.
It would seem that mineral oil, whatever the method of application, is not good for male health, especially on the 'family jewels'.

Aha, a good excuse to tell wifie to change her own oil.

Although I always had my oily rags in my boilersuit back pocket. I'd better check for bumcheek cancer
