More Oostra Oak and storing Ridgid Grease Gun
Posted By RichC on June 8, 2025
It does seem like a while ago now, but I’ve been slow and steady in bringing back some of the “Oostra Oak” that plan on using for future woodworking projects. So, while up in Whitehouse, Ohio last weekend for our granddaughter’s dance recital, I hauled back a bit more lumber. 
Well, during the evening I slowly moved it down to my workshop and stored it gently on my lumber rack (it is getting heavy).
Then yesterday while trying to find a place to store my relatively new Ridgid grease gun (it won’t fit in the cabinet), it seemed like a better idea to hang it on the wall — it is long and gangly. So I spent the morning distracted from yard and pool cleaning chores (wet and rainy anyway) and used some of the new oak scraps to fit the odd shaped grease gun for wall storage.
Short aside: After my previous manual grease gun failed to work in lubing the Kubota Zero Turn mower and ignoring the maintenance, the mower broke down and lost a part. After tearing into it and replacing the missing part, I found out wasn’t the manual grease gun’s fault after all, it was a plugged zirk grease fitting. Nevertheless, having a new tool always makes my day and might force me to keep up with the lubrication in the future? 😉
