*'''Pass the spare parts around''' This idea comes into play when you switch projects in the middle of construction. Say you go from building a '34 roadster to building a chopped '51 Mercury. You have a narrowed 9" Ford rear end just taking up space in the corner of the shop. Use the rear end as a "trade-for-services-exchanged" item. Or trade it with that GM guy buddy of yours for his used overdrive transmission you'll otherwise need to buy. It's a win-win for both parties involved. | *'''Pass the spare parts around''' This idea comes into play when you switch projects in the middle of construction.

*'''Inspect your safety items.''' Spring (and fall) are the perfect time to give all of your major safety items a thorough inspection. Replace those well-worn welding gloves with a new pair. If you don't have a fire extinguisher, get one and make sure it is functional. Face shields covered in scratches make projects difficult to see, and should be replaced. The same goes for goggles. If your shop has a smoke detector, change those batteries. | *'''Inspect your safety items.''' Spring (and fall) are the perfect time to give all of your major safety items a thorough inspection.
