A Japan Trip - Late February, 2019















Watco Danish Oil (Medium Walnut), Great Neck 3/8" Ratchet & Drain Gun from the Long Beach Car Swap Meet -- February 10, 2019

This is the brand of rub-on oil that I like to use.  Although this can is very beat up, it's almost full and the stain is in good condition.  Already used it on some wood tool handles and it works well.










Had never heard of this product.  It turns out it's for clearing clogged drains.  It can be a sink drain or any other tube that's clogged.  The CO2 cartridge is pretty high pressure (800 psi?) so you also don't want to over pressurize tubing that's not able to handle high pressures...  The consequences could be bad.

Tange Bike Handlebar & Gooseneck - separated & gooseneck cleaned

The bar is too large fort the gooseneck.  Someone forced the bar onto it (a lot of damage from the interference).

In order to separate the bar from the gooseneck, had to spread the gooseneck by pushing a hex wrench into the gap.  This worked.



The gooseneck is a little rough from the mis-match installation general use/abuse.



















After a lot of filing, sanding and steel wool, it ended up looking pretty good.

Temporarily placed the gooseneck back on the bike.  Now I need a regular drop bar for this bike.
