    Bench vise/grinder storage

    I'm sure this kind of project has been done somewhere else. But this weekend I was looking for somewhere to store my buffer that was not lying on my floor or underneath my workbench. So I thought it really goes with the bench grinder anyway. With a buffer you are swapping buffs and wire wheels...

    Pergola build with Cedar & Steel

    I have made various pergolas for customers over the years and decided I needed one for my home. The sun setting in the west really hits the dining room and the patio area hard. We have a massive oak in the front that does a good bit of shading, but the afternoon sun is harsh. I also wanted to...

    I purchase my home a few years ago and the previous owner was in the process of building a storage shed. When I acquired the home the storage shed was sinking in the mud and barely covered in tar paper. First goal was to dig out from the mud and put on proper concrete piers. Next came...

    Klein Phillips screwdriver

    I don't know about you, but I'd say that makes for a pretty decent screwdriver. Hands-free. That's good engagement. That said, when using my daily work screwdrivers, when the tips get chewed up, I throw them away. No fighting with warranty. I just use them till they're worn and then get a...
