Never heard of it although I don't check a lot of ointment brands , I'll pick some up if I see it though.

It's a farm thing. Strong antibiotic salve . Used for everything. Granma would glue your finger back on with it.

Dunno if they still make it, but KIPP for burns, in a round tin. Works wonders.
Just a tangent. That's opposite over adjacent, by the way.

Good to see and hear you're making progress! The wife has me doing a wood project... 8-(

Up this way for a antiseptic salve we use a product called Bag Balm... Bag Balm the original rescue balm for even the toughest dry skin - Bag Balm originally used to treat cow teats..

Udder Balm from Farm and Fleet

For drilling those holes bigger in thin material-get some of those step drills--they are a little pricy, but you only need a couple
---diffinently cheaper than stitches

i like the step drills . 4 replaced a full set of bits.
growing up in the country you find out your treated with the same stuff as live stock . granpa called it wolves fat just to screw with me .

I've also used the udder balm as treatment for finger HANG NAILS especially during colder months of the year-----
dry feet also

When I was younger I was told of an old Indian chief, named chief Soh Cah Toa.
Sine=Opposite over Hypotenuse, Cosine=Adjacent over Hypotenuse, Tangent=Opposite over Adjacent.

A dead easy way of remembering.
Well it was for a dumb-ass like me!

Sorry to go off-topic; but couldn't resist!

Nice work. Those tie downs are a great addition! What's the deal with the rusty rotor? Just busting your chops.

I do have a set of step bits, I wasn't sure if I would use them much but I think I use them more than regular bits. Best investment in a long time. Good thing I wasn't using step bits that night or I'd have a 7/8 size hole in my hand

I leave them that way to remind me of what the whole pickup looked like at one time

The step drills don't catch like 2 flute drills do-by design they only take out a fine amount of material------

If you get them hot enough they will.

Finally got the door windows in. I've been wanting these in for a long time now. I started with the drivers side and it just fell together and worked perfect, took about an hour start to finish. I thought great now I have experience and the passenger window is going to go better. Wrong wrong wrong. I bet I fought that thing for 3 hours start to finish, I don't know what was different but I was less than happy by the time we got it in. I have Altman bear claw latches and the window channel runs to close to the latch and would hang it up with the window rolled down. I had to shim that out a bit but other than that and fighting the passenger side it went well. Anyone have a good way to attach the felt strip back on the surround trim. They used some metal stapler but I was going to look for some very small screws.

be glad it is not a ford truck. no inside trim so you are stuck with no adjustment. problem is the new glass/felt runs/ whiskers are all just a little thicker than orig .i left the inside whisker out so the glass would move freely.
