Re: Just A Plug For ‘Stormy Kromer’
I bought the standard version at Cabela's years ago. It is definitely a very cold weather cap, I wore it last winter when it got below zero and had to switch back to a regular ball cap. Now, if I could wear one on the flightline, I'd love it! The wind just cuts right through you out there!

We did tire work in high school if you bought the tires and brought everything by the shop. I remember pulling a "T" bone out of a tire, one of my teachers had hit a bag of trash that was in the road. Seems to me that someone had steak before they tried to take the trash to the dump!

Cutting oil is used to lubricate, cool, and flush chips away. I would use Tap Magic, if you can find it. Otherwise almost any light oil would work. Beeswax is also a good lube for aluminum. Good luck with your project!
