Stanley utility knife with a Lennox blade.

That’s the first question to be answered before any advice can be given. Too many variables otherwise.

You are over thinking it. Go dump some gasoline or whatever solvent you'd like onto the poly sheeting you plan to use to protect your foam. I bet you'll be surprised to see it'll most likely eat through it.

I decided that since it was supposed to be 92f that it was prime time to do some firewood things. It’ll be potential wood stove weather in 16-18 weeks. Back up to the stove pad and unload it. I pitched it out by hand because the trailer was full of dirt and debris so I sweated my *** off...

Why switch it at all ? I built a fish house 20yrs ago that had a 120v RV plug outside for shore power that went into a cabinet in the fish house and ended in an outlet. My inverter also had a plug in. You may see where I’m going with this. I wired all the 110v stuff in the fish house to a...

Safety flops are installed.

Yo !! Because of the flip flops or the woks 😂 I wear flips all the time in the summer to stay cool other than when the job demands foot safety. Even though I’m a little more relaxed than I should be. I’ve got flips on right now and we’re cleaning the chicken barn out. Probably should have...

I use my deeps more than the shallows in my farm shop. I have lots of different belt tensioners and pulleys that have nuts on threaded rods that are beyond what a deep will do and have made extra deeps for specific applications.

I needed a crane type of thing so I fabercobbled one together from some crane parts I had around. Dang it that works pretty good ! Removal of the first of several major combine components before harvest. Dangling by a pair of Harbor Freight ratchet straps and a steel rope. I went...

Thank you !! It is an extendable boom I got on eBay of all places. I added a skiddy quick attach so I can use it with the skiddy as well without having to toss the forks on. I can not believe how well it worked !! It’s a 120v winch so I had to be plugged in. When out and about I figure...

I need to get the incline auger and clean grain tube out of the combine and don't have enough headroom. Should have built the shop 20' tall instead of 18' !! So I built a thing. It's not pretty but like me it'll get the job done. 1

My farm shop is a bit of an everything space. It currently is housing my combine while it’s getting more in parts stuck into it than it’s worth. Thanks to @bugnut I now have a lathe and Bridgeport so I should be able to build about anything I can imagine. We’ve got a hangout room...

It pains me to read things like this. Trying to improve things at home and disaster happens. Hopefully you get made as whole as possibly by the insurance company. I have a metal 55gal barrel I toss oily/solvent soaked rags and materials. I set the lid on it with a rock on top. A few years...

The generator is powered by a Vanguard but I think I can make an exception. The drone may have just been named 😂

Time to get intimate with my combine and replace some internals ….. here is a before shot …. Things removed for better access. The entire clean grain elevator and incline auger are coming out. Both have holes and very thin spots and are due for replacement.
