Perhaps some paint thinner or something the likes would help soften up the adhesive. I used to strip and was floors in a hospital. The pads will get gummed up, so buy a bunch of extras.

We would apply a liberal amount of wax stripper with a mop. Then scrub it all up. Using a wet vac to soak up all of remainder. Then mopping the floor with clean water to get it all up.

Whatever you do, do it in a wife beater with a case of Natty.  Maybe also melt some grass fed butter and oil up the guns.

So I bought a little shop vac at home Depot for the sole purpose of cleaning out my car. Saturday afternoon I open up the box and someone had already used it to suck up a bunch of concrete dust. So I used it to vacuum my car and returned it saying someone had already used it to suck up concrete dust.

I'm on quite the home Depot streak rn

I used a lot of this removing asbestos cutback mastic at SdK's employer.   You can literally drink it if you wanted to (not recommended) but it works.

In the process of restoring one of these:

Picked one up at an auction, 65 years old and still cools.  Once I get done doing my magic on it, the cooler will set on my deck keeping my selection of fine ales cool.  :gocho:

That is awesome Slackcat.  Saw a Coke one fully restored a guy had in his mancave.  Beautiful conversation pieces and functional.

Those fans look great but IMO they belong in the arts and crafts thread or maybe the Pinterest thread.

I recently bought a miter saw, Kreg jig, router, and router table.  Used them to make a small table for my daughter to do art projects on.  I'm going to build 2 more tables plus 4 chairs for her room & upstairs.  Also going to build some other stuff.  Is this the right thread?   :dunno:

i have a crap ton of space in my unfinished basement, now have miter/table saws down there, 4' router table, belt sander and some other random crap.  super convenient to just have it all sitting there and not have to do all the shuffling crap around the garage thing

I have an oversized 3 car garage, but we keep 3 cars in the garage most of the time.  I can put everything away/get it out quickly & leave out the 3rd vehicle out for a few days at a time.  However, not having a basement is one of the worst things about OK.  I keep thinking I'll get a table saw, but every time I need one I end up tipping a kid at Lowes to make all my big cuts on the upright circular saw thing.  I'm also thinking about taking out my workbench and building a bigger router table.

Tobias, if you have kids, check out the Ana White website.  There's a lot of good, free plans for stuff they'd like.
