      yes,it works and keeps your hands warmer in winter. I put a pair of those cheap, one-use rubber gloves over the lightly oiled hands for work that thicker gloves would get in the way of, the baseline and rubber gloves are great for jobs, especially using water as your skin won't get wet. If not water jobs, I throw some stretch gloves over the rubber ones while shoveling snow, etc-extra warm. The stretch gloves get wet but not your hands. I have a little bucket with laundry soap I throw them all in and at the end of every day, wash, rinse and hang for the next day. stretchy gloves dry in a couple hours indoors.

      In the wintertime, sometimes my hands get so dried out, they crack and bleed. Rubbing my hands with Vaseline, and putting on vinyl gloves before going to bed, has saved my hands, and restored moisture by the time I get up the next day.

    During superstorm Sandy I went to visit my sister in law and help her get stabilized. She was starting to run out of gas for her generator after a few days. In her neighborhood there were flooded disabled vehicles. I used a hammer and screwdriver, punctured a hole in the gas tanks of the totaled cars and drained the fuel tanks into a aluminum foil roasting pan. I then used a coffee filter to run the reclaimed gasoline through on it's way to the generator.

    Videos of this sort help me to help my extended family in addition to our immediate household. An inventory of what you have and what you need to build up is a good thing. Sometimes, an Item will go "out of stock" but is not noticed. That is where a superior video like this one helps. You now observe that you no longer have a particular item and put that on the list for your next excursion out. Beautiful Bride and I always tell the "outlaws" that "it is better to have and not need than to need and not have." A little effort and expense pre-need make a world of difference when things go wrong.

    We use large coffe filters for popcorn bowls, sandwich plates, put them in bottom of plant containors so soil doesn't leak out, when assembling new products or working on something mechanical it's a great place to put the parts so you can see them & they won't roll away as easily.i gave a large pack of the large filters to my mechanic friends for gifts, at first , they all gave me a "what is this for" look. When I explained it, they wondered why they hadn't thought if it. Their wife's said they ordered more of them.

    Another use for coffee filters: Filtering old gasoline to refresh it for use in an engine.
    Separate the old gas from any water that would have accumulated at the bottom of the container (the water would be on the bottom), then pour the old gas through a couple filters before mixing 1 part old gas with 4 parts new gas. The filters would catch the gummy substances that form in old gasoline, and absorb trace amounts of water to help the gas burn without causing damage to the engine or fuel filters.
