I want to make sure I understand this. Are you saying that if you go down the electrical isles at Home Depot or Lowes, that all those people buying wire, light switches, light fixtures or wire nuts,...

Yeah, I understand how this is happening and not really saying I object to it. I just thought it was interesting.

We use You Tube TV for our TV programming. A few weeks back I was looking for some 0% Phos Copper brazing rods, couldn't find them locally, so bought them from an online plumbing supply at a good...

If this was not true, Home Depot and Lowes would not exist.

If you're thinking craft fairs, I'd say between $50-65, depending on the type/quality of the fair. BTW, most successful crafters pricing policy is to price what the market will bear, then work...

Before I figured out the paint I had to figure out playing with concrete. Lots of you tube searches but nothing on exactly this. The trick is using fabric, I used a heavy blanket, as a sort of...

Just wanted to give an update for anyone interested. Turns out you can DIY paint tinting but it is not completely straight forward. Here's what I learned. The pigment powders must first be...

Thanks Steve, great info.

Thanks Steve, I knew this wasn't an original idea. 2 questions please. Are you using the dry pigments and is the marine paint latex or oil?

Thanks

Thanks. I don't turn very often and no where as good as most of ya'll. I'll see what I can do with some of this. If nothing else but a little something for the farmer whose family have been there...

A farmer friend with a sawmill has a large poplar burl. It's about 3 ft long and 3 ft across but is definitely not solid. He wants to know if I could use it for anything. Any chance it's worth the...

Yeah, those paint sample jars are low sheen interior so would need a clear overcoat, which is another challenge to find one that works.

Just a quick guess, but I'll need at least a gallon total so...

Been busy this month knocking out a couple dozen artsy bird houses and planters made out of a combination of concrete and fiber cement boards. Now I need to do the painting. Exterior house paint...

Amen to that!

Dave, do you have a favorite adhesive for this?

While I have a stack of sheet stock 5/16" thick up to 10 ft long smooth on both sides, I'm talking about boards made out of fiber cement that have a cross section of 1"x 3.5",5.5" &7.5" (think of a...

New neighbor is building a nice house next door. Exterior walls and all the trim are fiber cement sheeting and 1x's. He gifted me about $1K worth of scraps. Got plans for lots of bird houses and...

Since you've got a contractor, why can't they throw you up a shed? Most of those guys can do a shed in very little time.

So, I haven't found any openings into the crawl space and there is no food source under there. But at least one is/has been chewing. I bought some bait and will ask the son-in-law to go under and...

Seems like I have a mouse problem in the crawl space. We hear chewing coming from the hvac duct register in the floor and some debris on a nearby window sill. House is new with a sealed crawl space...

I've always used a dehumidifier for drying finishes rather than a space heater.

Update. So I'm back from the lawn mower show and thought I'd update robotic mowers for anyone interested. It's clear the industry thinks robotics is the future and all are trying to figure out what...

Bigger than I need, but take a look at https://www.grazemowing.com/

Next month I'm headed to the Equip Exposition trade show in Louisville KY, to start my research for a future purchase of a robotic mower. During peak season, I'm mowing about 6 to 7 hours a week,...

Pat, I had one trunk of a multi trunk river birch cut several years ago. I did nothing to the it and saw no ill effects. Just one case I know.
