Saw on news tonight that blowing winds had created huge sand dunes more than 8feet high in the OK Panhandle. There has been no rain there since August. Another dust bowl?

I picked up some "thrown away" laminate flooring a few years ago. I sometimes see a box really cheap at a thrift store. one too wide long strip cut for easy sanding. I used the disc sander, vertical to get the right width. Then cut the width to size and then the ends, holes drilled and tap...

I have tried Evaporust and other stuff. The cheapest and best I've found is Barkeeper's Friend (make a soft paste - thicker than slurry) and rub it on with a cloth and then off. I easily turned black way tubes to silver. I keep a small plastic container in the cabinet under the SS for easy access.

This is the main ingredient in Barkeeper's Friend. I created a paste to remove black rust from way tubes as well as red/brown rust f...

If you are just wanting to replace the knobs and don't care about SS brand find out what size it is bu screwing a nut on. Take that to HD or ACE, etc. to find out what size knob you need. You may find some at ACE and you certainly will find many online. Probably cheaper, faster and better than order...
