    Getting Staples out of oak stair tread?

    Hey Guys, I'm hoping some of you reclaim/reuse enough wood that you can help me get these staples out of these red oak stair treads. The staples are really brittle so my usual method of grabbing with pliers and the rolling the pliers is just breaking them off. Even the staples that I can get...

    Ballparking cost to build a garage?

    My wife and I have been looking for our next house, but this pandemic has made the market here crazy! We found something we'd both be happy in but there's NO GARAGE & we need to get a bid in on the house. I know there are a lot of variables and maybe I can narrow that down a bit; We're in the...

    That's an idea I hadn't considered. Can you share some pics with the atv loaded up. Looks awesome! I got a short bed chevy that "measured" ok before I bought it, but in reality, it's such a pita to load that I still use my trailer. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Hey Debreifer, that's a pretty slick idea for a lot of different tools. It's a great way to put long tools on a wall when you don't have any headroom like my shed! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Small Shelf for Hot Wheels

    This: "As for hanging, look up "french cleat", a great way to hang something like shelves. You can make it from the MDF. You may want to consider running a few passes with the circ saw to create a shallow dado (channel) for the wheels to rest in? Or a lip, just incase the shelf isnt level :] "...

    Smaller sandblast cabinet recommendations

    I built this for less than $50 and it'll do a rotor with no trouble. I'm using an $8 bag of coal grit from Tractor supply. Works great! https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Sand-Blaster-50-in-an-hour/ Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    I lost a wrench...

    Here's my solution; a piece of hardware chain and a couple of split rings. Works great and I can still use both at the same time for the die grinder [emoji6]

    Tools you wish you had known about before you did it the hard way

    My father used to make us use one of those hand edgers when we were kids. Worked pretty well if done regularly. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Build a simple, inexpensive, 100% customizable, aluminum pliers rack for your toolbox

    Clever [emoji4][emoji106]. With the right Alum stock (1 1/2 x 0.062?)and the right alloy, I can make a die and press out a few dozen of those U-shaped spacers of varying widths from the same material as the partition pieces Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    help bending small piece of sheet aluminum

    This may be a dumb question, but does it have to be 5052 AL? You sound like you might have started already, but it might be easier to start over with a diff alloy and possibly work from the outside edges in. Also, if you weld a couple of 3/8 in. rods along side and against each other, you can...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    I'm curious about the alignment you chose. Since you're adding a caster, why didn't you align the bottoms, bolt it together securely, and then move the casters already on the cart? Is my question a "hind sight is 20/20" kind of question? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    What is this unit?

    Yeah, that's a paper drill. Used to drill the rind binder holes in a couple of hundred sheets at a time. Can't give any details on when it was made or what it's worth though. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
