Changed 'puters after rollover. Lost many of my bookmarks in doing so. And, of course, (LOL) memory fails me at this point.

Anyway, there is a store, catalogue, and website somewhere that sells all kinds of old fashioned tools and equipment. Think it might be in either the PA or OHIO area. Catered a lot to the Amish folks.

They had everything from woodstoves to oil lamps. Some really neat stuff there.

However, what I'm looking for is a wringer for my wet laundry to go through.

In '99 I bought one of those metal pails with the wringer attached, but I had never tried it until yesterday. What a pain in the ass! Your need three arms and four legs to work with the darn thing! Glad I didn't wait until I really needed to use it.

Remember when I was a kid, we had an old wringer attached to a round washer. Later the wringer was attached to the garage sink. Very handy as I recall.

Thinking maybe that store would have such a wringer.

Thanks for any help.

Aw gawd, time to trot out my "when I was poor" tale. I washed laundry in the bath tub, treading it like grapes. Same works for rinsing, of course. Wish I weighed as much then as I do now--sure would have made the treading/wringing part faster :)

Cumberland General Store is in TN. Cumberland General Store

They have a much more extensive selection.

Another one you might want is Jade Mountain for sustainable living. Jade Mountain

Hehehe, OG, know what ya mean.

I use a plunger now, but it's when I need to wring something out that I've got problems. I've got the beginnings of arthritis in my hands, so that's why I'm looking for a wringer.

The wringers at Lehmans cost $119 for one model and $165 for another. Hoped to find one for less. Maybe I need to check out flea markets and old junk stores.

Lurkess, try looking at those commercial MOP BUCKETS with the wringer for the mop. The amount you can rinse/wring won't be nearly as big, but I've seen them very reasonably priced. Heck, I've even seen some at WalMarts.

Speaking of wringer on wash bucket, maybe janitorial supply.
