Dude I like it! Hardening it is probably not necessary though would up the cool factor. Get it to a medium orange right where the curve is and dunk it in water and then put it in the oven around 400f (180C?) for a couple hours and you will have an indestructible label remover.

Lol...dead sexey, indestructible beer bottle label removers...where else do you find that on the internet? I know that's not gonna be a "safe for work" Google search!
 
It must be something about the water here in Eugene. Bottle labels almost fall off with just a short soak. With a kitchen scrubbing cloth, the glue comes off the bottle easily. But I have several cases of already prepared bottles, so not too worried about that chore.
Likewise, labels on cans of cat food come right off after a short soak, something that didn’t happen with the water in Anaheim.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
 
I'm with you Herm.
Similar but different situation. I use returnable bottles and labels come of easily. Just don't think it is the water in my case, but the glue.
After all, the brewery also needs to remove the labels
 
I spent the last couple days building a home for my "new" (1980's Rexon) drill press and I'm pretty happy with the result. I need to rewire the switches in it as they're clapped out but basic electrical is super easy.
Also found a new home for the second bandsaw and my truck dash is pretty much ready to reinstall so I might have room to turn around in my forge tomorrow.

Nice, i love those adjustable belts
 
I only learned about them about a year ago and I'm never going back. My orange band saw has them too. Plus the tumbler I made that got stolen out of my driveway. I mean it didn't even have a motor when they stole it?! Who steals a cut up propane tank and some angle iron?

Cool garage I'd love to spend some time in there :)!

That is one busy space you have there Hawk!
 
Tell me about it, trying to do blacksmithing with the associated woodworking, motorbike storage/mechanics, brewing, and miscellaneous garage storage add up. I'm considering removing the keezer and setting my shop fridge up as a kegerator to try and recover some floor space. I like having 8 keg chilling but it's very rare that is of real value to me. On the plus side I got the dash installed back in my truck and it looks pretty good!

I was able to make some room though by offloading some tools to a friend who wants to get into woodworking so that's a win.

I love the drill press base. Creative!

With all those things on wheels, you need a place to park them all when they are not actively being used. Saves floor space.

And some big shelves for chop saws and other 'portable' tools. Saves flat surface space.
