Desert island

| Posted in Tools for Home Building on June 18, 2004 01:14am

I banged one too many nails in the remodel today and got a half a bucket full of plaster, brick dust and that sticky, itchy, danged cellulose insulation, which fell from up above, and I started to think about what it would be like being transported to some nice, breezy,cool, tropical island, and build something on the beach.

 Which made me think, as I set down the hot sawzall, what tools would I grab if the boat  I was on started sinking.

What three power tools would you grab if you were to be marooned on a desert island?

 

 I guess one of them would be the sawzall. We all know that it would cut whatever, not as squarely as a skillsaw, but it could also cut down those coconut trees, so you wouldn’t have to climb them  get the coconut in the first place. Hell, stick the right blade in it and it will even mix that coconut drink too.

 Drill? Sure. but which one? Cordless?  hammerdrill? 1/2″ angular?

 I guess I would grab the midsized hammerdrill. Not a jungle sized one. Not the smallest. One in the middle, the kind that has a hammer only mode( which really aint worth a

), at least it would mix(shake) drinks if you stick a chisel bit in it.

Third? Well , I don’t know. Not only would it have to do a construction function, it would also have to be able to mix drinks in case the other two broke down.

I guess it would be a palm sander. Just turn it upside down, put the drink on it, and it would shake it up.

 

What three tools would you make sure you’re stuck with?

    "Power Tools"?

    1. long handled ax (would settle for short handled hatchet).

    2. machete, or other long knife blade.

    3. good combination knife.  Since we are presupposing that I am at sea, I already have one of those, so, the 3rd item would be a couple hundred feet of good rope (I'd really want a big bucket of modern fasteners, like nails--but no way am I swimming for show with a bucket of nails . . . )

        Hat's off to Friday.  Top too, almost.  Gotta wonder how long it's gonna 'hang' around.  The pic, that is.  : 0

        I never met a tool I didn't like!

        Man that picture has been around b.t. a long time,

        does anybody know the details on it?

        Was it staged or is she for real, duh I know she's for real, I mean is that the

        way she works. Lordy, how would anyBODY get any work done with

        that HANGING around?

    Desert Island? Power Tools? What... Ya gonna plug 'em into a coconut tree? :-)

    I would think a generator & BIG tank of fuel would hafta be numbers 1 & 2... Since that would only leave you one tool... Sawsall I guess.

    Personally, Since I would have all the time in the world...  I'd rather have a 1. great handsaw, 2. Eastwing hammer, 3. a good big knife...

    Of course I'd swap any of those for a keg of good beer... Or his girl friday!

          All right guys, I deleted the pic of my "bass fishing partner". After some thought it seemed to not be in the best of  taste for this board, also keeping in mind the mixed company here.

          If someone wants the pic, I can email it to you... it is a keeper.

            TOOLZ, what kind of a tool would opt for tools?

             I'd grab the "bottomless always 32 Degee" keg of High Life, the  nymph blond on the ladder,and the XM satelite radio......brew ,tunes and entertainment .....

            I hate it when I have to dream like this...makes me horny and thirsty......like that's a change!

    Obviously, an axe or better yet a maddox (sp?) - fell trees, dig holes, plant crops, bust open coconuts.  Fight off other shipwrecked builders trying to get to girl friday, etc

    Probably a multitool rather than a big Bowie knife - carve  spears and fish hooks from wood, they have to be disposable.  Trim beard, shape shells and bone, file nails, use pliers to remove decayed teeth, etc.

    250-foot of PEX.  Running water is a beautiful thing. 

    Or a Bic lighter?  Yeah, lots of ways to build a campfire.  Rub two boy scouts together, etc.  But they are very convenient.

    What three power tools??

    Have to be:

    1) That big Jonsered 72cc Chainsaw

    2) An equally big gasoline drill with a 6" dirt auger and lots of extension rods

    3) The Handy-Dandy Boy Scout Be-Prepared Model Portable Pocket crude oil refinery

    Now, if I don't have to select power tools, I'll take:

    1) 2-lb axe (chop, split, pile-drive, hammer, dig)

    2) 30" buck saw (cross-cut; rip trunks into boards; slice; play music; shred banana stems into fibres)

    3) Brace and bits (drill holes; turn the bbq spit; twist banana fibres into strands to lay up as rope)

           I may have to refine things a bit...I wouldn't know how to run a still, and then theres the growing stuff, and farming to feed the still....sounds too much like work.

          The keg would be bottomless and self chilling.

          The XM radio would be solar powered, and waterproof.

          I may need some sunglasses....and a bag of potato chips.

          What 3 tools to salvage from a sinking boat?

          How about 3 tools that float?

          Before I answer that question I need a clarrification..........is Phil a tool?

          Not to worry it would be at the bottom of my list anyways.

          Primal survival would be the choice. A machete, a small buck saw  and a file to keep em both sharp for the duration.

Maybe they were insurgent, fifth column, communist lobsters bent on overthrowing the western world. They looked like such nice lobsters. You don't suppose the sysop is allergic to them do you?

              Some people ARE allergic to shellfish.

              It can cause swelling.

      twist banana fibres into strands to lay up as rope

      That works, but 'real' rope is much more reassuring when your life is dangling from it--which it always will, trust me, whether you have rope or not . . .

      I'd give up a hammer to let 200-250' of good 1" manilla line try to drown me on my way to a desolate shore.  It just has too many uses (unlay 40-50' into smaller strands for smaller stuff, the small stuff can be taken down to threads for fishing line & the like).Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)

          Just not banana fibers extracted by handsaw using a "professor" style cobbled together rope walk . . .

          Trying to replicate the process of spinning threads, so as to make up yarns, so as to lay up rope under primitive conditions is more than a bit trying.  It takes a bit of effort, too, at time when energy has to be conserved for survival peuposes.  Not a fun way to lose one's t-shirt.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)

            Cap--

            Don't take this the wrong way, but if I read the intent of this thread correctly, it is to see what we think the best tools would be to enable us to make everything we would normally be able to buy or sub out. That said, if I need some rope--to lash together my own personal version of Kon-Tiki, for instance--I wouldn't mind having a bucksaw so that I could (1) cut down the banana tree; (2) cut off the fibrous part of the stems, and (3) use the teeth to comb out the fibres until I can palm them into strands, and then use that brace I mentioned to lay those strands up into rope.

            I've made rope more than once; some types needed for specific decorative knot work or traditional rigging are very difficult to come by commercially these days, such as 4-strand for hemp standing rigging, or cable-laid line for an anchor rode. The techniques used for manufacturing laid-up rope were developed LONG before power equipment was available, and the quality of the product was good enough to rig tall ships that sailed everywhere on this planet, including places nobody in his right mind goes today without a steel-hulled nuclear-powered naval vessel.

            I've taken the thread the wrong way a tad, I'm not swimming from a sinking ship with power tools to a presumptive island without electricity.  If I'm sinking off of Padre Island, or Manhattan Island my tool choices are much different (be needing naught but a blender for Padre I.; in the East River, y'd need non corroding tools . . .<g>).
