Got a friend needing some 1/2" planed pine/spruce/basswood/etc in some various widths for putting up fur pelts. Would be willing to buy 1/2" finished boards or have some stuff planed down.

TIA.

Unless your "gray water", i.e. washing machine, possibly shower/bath, dishwasher etc, is delivered to a separate tank (this was only done on very old homes, and now the standard is running everything...

Here is my 2 cents, take it for what it's worth:

I build mainly out of rough cut that I harvested myself and had sawed locally. In my world, standard boards mean very little, so therefore, the...

I just bought one of these sanders off of Craigslist (got mine for $250!!), and I don't know how I lived without it. Got 5 rolls of paper from ebay for $30, and installed the 100 grit. Board goes in...

You'll never really find "exactly" what you're looking for, so sometimes you have to take "close enough" and modify it as you see fit. Many times, with online plans, especially free ones, the...

When I had a vampire in my vehicle sucking the life out of my battery (parasitic battery drain), I hooked up a voltmeter to the battery, and then begin systemically pulling fuses, and seeing if the...

Here's the thing: Every time you get some money in your "Blow" column, you will "blow" it on stuff that is meaningless and usually not necessary. Eventually, you will really want something, or worse...

I've done some counseling as far as people and their personal budgets, and one thing I would suggest, is that you re-consider your "Blow" category. Different people call it different things: Play,...

Doesn't seem fair to the team that went undefeated throughout the tourney though. IMO, it really takes away from the stigma and ability to go undefeated and reach the final round.

Thanks for the...

I've played a lot of ball in my day, and a lot of tournaments too: round robins, double elims, 1 pitch, any pitch, etc etc.

Question: If the LLWS is double elim (2 losses to be eliminated)- How...

When we remodeled our doors for my paralyzed son, my wife, who is a PT, chose the curved lever handles. Her reasoning was that even someone with just a "claw type" grip (minimal fine motor skills),...

Sure looks like pine found around here. Except for one thing: chainsaws around here cut pine a lot straighter than that has been cut......

I have a drilled well, and my septic runs into a 110' sand mound. Here are some of my thoughts:

Power going out: I live rural. It is just an expected thing. Genny is on standby, but haven't had to...

The Poliron has almost a mirror finish to it. http://www.knifemerchant.com/product.asp?productID=1397 It is smooth-smooth and takes some getting used to. Even some seasoned meatcutters that I worked...

I switched over to an F. Dick Poliron when I made the switch from sharpening my knives on stones, to an abrasive flap wheel.

We used to buy the steels and then rub them down to whatever polish we...

I'll throw my 2 cents in here for consideration:

I've worked over 15 years in high production meat processing work. I cut my teeth in a facility that dressed 630 hogs per hour. I am very familiar...

Along with Mike's point about specifying hens and not mixed lots- The family really needs to do some research into the breeds as well. Some are better layers, some are more hardy, some are more...

Here's a funny (?) story to illustrate your point: We had a family close by that decided they needed to raise ducks. One of their children couldn't have chicken eggs, but duck eggs were fine. They...

Try the Messina Deer Stopper. It has a surfactant so it stays on even during rain.

+1 on deer. They eat the stuff right up next to the house. This is what you need: http://shop.messinawildlife.com/products/deer-stopper-32oz-concentrate Check Amazon. Works wonders. I spray it about...

Gordon, a few other things for consideration (lessons learned the hard way):

When building the nest boxes (you can find dimensions online with a simple search (Backyard Chickens has a great...

I've gone to the deep litter method inside the coop, mixing in good amounts of sawdust, and we have very little smell. Once a bit of ammonia smell is detected, it reminds me that I haven't added...

IMO, you need to discern the "specifics" of the chicken raising: Free range or confined? Layers or Meat birds?

Our first flock was 100% free range, and all they needed were some nesting boxes and...
