    Lawn sweeper

    Sweeper didn't work at all for me on a hilly lot. Has anyone tried the cyclone rake? Significantly more expensive but looks like it can do a great job.

    Anyone ever regret getting a shop?

    Forget the shop. It will make your house harder to sell in the future and it won't increase your home value by anything near what it cost to build. Buy a good quality boat cover for a few hundred bucks and store the boat outside in a storage lot for $50/ month.

    Boat cradle for newest family's member

    Upnorther - sorry no video, that's another project in itself, I don't know how some guys manage to do 2 projects simultaneously! They have my awe! I have very few pics of the boat in process, here are a few: The form ready to start the strips: The bare hull after removal from the form...

    Boat cradle for newest family's member

    I thought I'd share pics of my most recent project just completed for the newest member of the family. The hull is made up of 3/16" x 1/2" pine strips edge glued with epoxy over a form. Transom, stem, keel, gunwales, floor, and rockers are oak. This project really challenged my woodworking...

    Opinion on floor tile

    I've been looking for reasonably priced tile options for my garage. I ran across what appears to be a smokin' deal at Lowes. I'd like some feedback if this is suitable for my home garage.

    What is the first tool or tools you bought from the tool truck?

    It was either a set of Matco flare nut wrenches or a set of Matco combination wrenches. Can't remember which came first, it was 36 years ago.

    What was your favorite purchase in 2015?

    Porter Cable 18v cordless drill and impact driver. I've resisted any cordless power tools, just couldn't believe they could be any good. Boy was I wrong, these are now my go to drill and drivers. I'm sure the other competing brands are as good, maybe better, but these work well for me. Best...

    Cutting HF some slack

    Not being a troll. The OP stated that he tried more mid-range tools like Kobalt, Husky, and Milwaukee, and in his opinion they are not worth the increased cost vs HF. I am defending his right to decide what's best for him, based on the factors of his personal situation that only he knows. I...

    Cutting HF some slack

    Or it could be the OP is a hobby type that has an average income, and would rather spend his money for food for his family rather than brag about how he just spent $100 on a SO ratchet. Everyone makes choices based on his situation. Can't criticize until you have walked a mile in his shoes.

    Between 265 & 485 SQ/FT The 12-Gauge Garage

    Re: Table-Saw Trouble: Let's Be Safe In 2016 Almost the exact same thing happened to me more than 25 years ago, only it was my middle finger. Saved the finger, but after it healed it was extremely sensitive to the slightest pressure on the fingertip. It was more than ten years before I coul tap...

    USA Craftsman... Fail

    What I see here is many people making excuses for a poor quality tool made in USA and/or criticism of the OP. If this was an Asian imported tool I think the dialogue would be very different. Why not just call it what it is???

    Lets see your motorcycle lifts!

    Honestly, it's really an automotive lift. The only reason it works for my bike is because it has a center stand. The platform is not long enough without it.
