    Lets see those wood burning stoves!!

    the house I just sold a couple of months ago, I had a huge Newmac wood furnace in the basement. I would burn roughly a rick of wood per week, and it kept my house on average 78 to 88 degrees. I mean, 3 degrees outside, and inside I sit around in a pair of shorts, no socks, no shirt, and...

    Estwing Hammer

    That's a gorgeous hammer Ryan. Reminds me of my grandpa. he had a leather handled hammer that he used day in and day out for many many years. you couldn't really tell by looking at it, but if you grabbed it, you could feel that it had kinda formed to his hand. I use a Estwing 30 oz framing...

    8+4+2= bunkbeds

    each end can be used as a ladder and I appologize for coming across so pissy, but trust me, I wouldn't build anything that would put my children in harms way..... and these bunkbeds are a ton sturdier than the ones I slept on for years as a kid.......

    8+4+2= bunkbeds

    Charles yeah, I got the frames from a local furniture store. I've had them for a couple years, but if I remember right, they were $30 each and just to check to make sure I wasn't putting my kids in harms way, about an hour ago, I went out to the garage (needed a cigarette and don't smoke in...

    Let me see your custom refrigerators !!!

    I would show mine, and the way I did it up, but I would probably have a handful of people tell me how it's under engineered, done in poor quality, and isn't right so I'll pass

    8+4+2= bunkbeds

    like I said, the side rails are purely decorative. they are just to hide the steel frame. I grew up sleeping on a set of bunk beds (store bought) that were made of a full 2 by 2 at each corner and 2 1 by 4's for cross members at each end. my bed never fell, or collapsed. the frame the...

    8+4+2= bunkbeds

    as far as additional screws in the "ladder rungs" I thought about that after I snapped these pics, and added 2 more on each end... good eye as far as the rails, those are pretty much strictly decorative. yeah, they hold the ends to each other, but the beds themselves are steel frames, with a...
