    What's your workbench look like?

    Old Guy, I love the wooden boat. Here's one I am building with my dad: She's not going to have so much power as yours, measured in square feet instead of cubic inches.

    Portable Generator For Live Band

    The DualSaw

    Lowes had them branded by Task Force for about ten seconds a few years ago. The one I picked up had a flaw and the two blades collided and destroyed themselves. Giant pieces of blade flew everywhere. I took it back. By the time I got it back, they didn't even stock them anymore and the return...

    lift+earthquake

    I was in a tour bus in a small quake in CA once. It woke me up and I thought our driver had died behind the wheel and we were jumping curbs. I rolled out of my bunk and ran to the front of the bus and jumped in the driver's seat and floored the brakes. It took my mind a good minute to grok...

    How about PEX air lines?

    PEX is the easiest and cheapest plumbing system going if you factor in labor. Buy the tool. You won't regret it.

    Price for a Pole Barn

    I don't know 427, I chopped my building in half with a stud wall and all the windows are in one room. The other has none and there is not a day that I don't wish I had ordered more of them.

    This is a car company that is trying to tap into the large pool of trained designers and combine their designs with relatively inexpensive manufacturing equipment.

    graywater systems

    Water is so cheap in this country you'd never realize any ROI. However, clean water is so scarce everywhere else in the world, it might make you feel really good to know that you aren't flushing your toilets with drinking water. I am going to build a system to reuse our gray water in the...
