Now that I've looked at holdfasts it seems I should have clarified. I'm not thinking of holdfasts, but more like the bench ********* and associated clamps.

And that's one project done. Well, mostly. As it is there is no drain in the sink, and I fully intended to put it in. But the thought has also come up that we could leave it out and put a screed over top of the sink to sift soil. She's going to use it for a bit and decide what she wants in...

Up here they do that with occupancy permits. Can't live in a building without one, and you aren't getting an occupancy permit unless it's a purpose built dwelling with full inspections along the way.

How thick do you need it to be for dogholes? I'm looking at making an assembly table here right shortly, and was thinking about a 1.5" plywood top.

Having your own hydraulic hose machine is so nice, since hoses always seem to blow at the worst times. One other trick I've seen for routing hydraulic hoses, though it won't work for big john since there's no three point hitch, is to take a shackle and hook it into the eye of one of the lower...

Was your property a former commercial property in an area that has now been rezoned as residential or something? Also, I've never heard of restrictions specifically on the number of conex boxes. Even in towns here the only restrictions is lot coverage. They wouldn't classify as a building here...

Very sorry to hear about your dad. Cherish those memories and hold your family tight. Very nice cars.

I think the robots have already won. I was looking at this brand specifically at a show last year and it seems like it would work good. I'm still debating getting one and selling my mower. https://www.kress.com/en-ca/robotic-lawn-mowers/

I never really got that statement before now, I figured it was just an inside joke that woodworkers used. Now I realize it's 100% accurate lol. Thanks. It's certainly something to process. I never thought about something like that at my age.

That is going to be a stout assembly table. I'll be interested to see which way you go, re dogs or T track. I've heard compelling arguments both ways.

Now that the weather has warmed up I can get started on the long list of woodworking (and other) projects. First is this potting bench for the wife. I need more clamps. This used every medium & large clamp I had. I was planning on using biscuits since I inherited an unused biscuit joiner but...

You live in the country long enough and you'll get to like that smell, and turn your nose up at the urban smells.

Most wheat around here gets liquid N streamed on, although with the price difference this year there's going to be more dry fert used.

Think of it as an opportunity to acquire more space and funds for future forklifts!

A guy that has lot of forklifts meets a guy that doesn't have enough forklifts. Sounds like a wonderful thing may be about to happen?

We just had a couple inches of snow yesterday morning too. It's BS. We should at least be out getting some early nitrogen on the wheat by now. How do you plan on emptying the oil tub?

That was my main worry, if there was any rabid ones. I certainly want to avoid that. Will definitely be wearing a mask up there. There's still lots of dust and other critter droppings. I priced that option out when I did the garage, but it was actually cheaper to use fiberglass. Especially...

Does anyone have experience working around bats? Since we are going to be putting insulation in the shop this year that will include insulating the ceiling. However last year we noticed that a small colony of bats is living in the roof of the shop. We were having a bonfire one night and watched...

Yeah, swim trunks rubber boots and waterproof gloves I think. Aside from checking on the stuff I had running in there I actually pretty well stayed out of it for a couple weeks. It was just way too depressing. I had almost every fan I owned running out there, including a high volume fan off...

I've been thinking about that too. Always just planned on a propane unit heater for heat, and never really worried about cooling here. But we are pretty humid here being close to lake Huron, so I've been wondering about a mini split so I can pull some humidity out in the summer. Especially since...
