Hey Gang,<br>
<br>
I've had to clean out my old little bedroom/computer room/ham shack to<br>
pull up the carpeting and put down new hard wood floor and baseboard<br>
molding. In doing this I got ride of 2 desks, one was a very small operating<br>
desk for the ham radio, and the other was a work bench for working on<br>
electronic projects. That ment I needed a new operating desk. I built one<br>
out of a solid core interior door, some metal "X" frame legs, and the put a<br>
2" x 12" x 80" shelf on the desk supported by 6 - 12" pipe legs.<br>
<br>
In this room I also had 2 5' tall book cases and 2 smaller ones. I'm<br>
probably going to have to get rid of at least one of the tall ones and one of<br>
the short ones.<br>
<br>
So here's the tie to "shop talk". I have all kids of old car <br>
manuals, for cars I<br>
no longer own, like my 67 Spitfire shop manual, my '65 Volvo P1800, an old<br>
Glenn's Foreigh Car Repair manual, then many more. So what should I do<br>
with them? They would be relatively expensive to ship if I sold them on<br>
eBay. I don't think my kids will want them. I am keeping the various<br>
manuals and part catalogues I have the cover my Morgan and Bricklin as I<br>
still own both cars.<br>
<br>
I hate to just pitch them out. What would you do with them if they <br>
were your shop manuals and catalogues?<br>
<br>
Also, I'm no spring chicken and ain't getting any younger. :)<br>
