    It was only $300 more to order and have a company install my new door than to DIY

    I've always said that the best thing about having money isn't what you CAN do, it's what you DON"T HAVE to do.

    Assembly Table Ideas

    I suspect that's way too thin for traditional "pound in" hold fasts. A double plywood top could last for generations. Mine's 3 1/4" thick but the plan was 3 1/2. I built it out of laminated edge grain hard maple and it's still dead-flat after 17 years.

    most superior folding utility knife?

    As you advised, I checked out Martor and Olfa. Fell in love with the Olfa 25mm snap-blade model. Appears to be a beast of a cutter based on reviews and videos I watched. I'll find out Monday :)

    Assembly Table Ideas

    For me, the most important aspect to an assembly table is that it's dead-flat. Mine has Dog holes, and I wouldn't want one without them. Requires quite a bit of thickness, however.

    My daughter, who is an aspiring handy man, and making really impressive progress, is going to do me a huge favor by house sitting with two puppy's aged 6 months and 10 weeks old for 9 days while I'm on vacation . Trust me, they're difficult. She'd never accept cash so I want to buy her...

    Go get a boroscope camera if you don't already have one

    As is so often the case, I read this thread and immediately bought one. Did a little research and decided to go with the Teslong TD450S. Received it today and played with it for 30 minutes between football games. It's ok, but I wish the Cable was a little stiffer. I tried to use it to look...

    The Milwaukee addiction thread! :)

    I just spent my afternoon dragging about a dozen potted plants from my backyard into my garage under grow lights that run 12 hrs/day. Watering them with a gallon milk jug is a significant chore, some of these plants are trees in giant pots needing 2+ gallons. I'm considering the Milwaukee M12...

    Screens for garage doors

    We love our Lifestyle garage door screen. The "man door" is sometimes a little sticky/cumbersome, mostly for guests who haven't used it enough to figure it out, but after 7 years of service, if it broke in a storm or whatever, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
