Here's a pretty cool thing to hang over your workbench next year — the 2009 Female Mechanics Calendar from Sarah Lyon Photography. Now this is not your typical bikini-clad, super hot, supermodel calendar with mouthwatering hotties draped over equally mouthwatering pieces of hot rod art.
These are real women, working on everything from Ferraris to jet airplanes.
Based on the preview photos, some of these women are no slouch in the looks department, either. I don't know about you, but an attractive woman who can actually do something is far hotter in my book than an anorexic supermodel clothes horse. But that's just me. Anyway, I thought this was cool and deserved a post for those of you who like real women. Check it out.

One of the tools I've always wanted is a blaster for cleaning metal. A blast cabinet would be nice, for doing small parts in an enclosed area. But I wanted a bigger unit that would also let me work on frames and bigger pieces.
A couple of years ago I bought a 60-gallon, two-cylinder, 12 CFM compressor that was on close-out (about $350, I think) at Lowes. I had an electrician come in and wire a 220 outlet into my garage and hook it up. But I never used it. Not even once. I never even turned it on except to be sure it ran. I didn't have any piping or anything. So, like most of my projects, it sat for a year and a half while I went on to other things.
