What do you look for that makes for a good caulk gun?

Well I’m not that much of an expert, but I follow a few pro caulkers on IG and this brand seems to be one of the better…[Read more]

Bought a Stanley Fatmax tape, the new one that’s rounded like a baseball and has a 13′ stand out. So far I really like it.

Congratulations on the anniversary! Maybe you can do something more for the 20th…..

In the one pic you can see the weird triangle shaped piece I had to make. Took me a long time and several tries to figure out how to cut that piece.

A week or 2 ago I posted about some crown I did in a kitchen, and I was gonna post some pics and never did. Here they are. Didn’t turn out as perfect as I would like, but doesn’tlook too bad.

Looks like a clothes hanger…for a tiny tiny shirt

Kevin I’m not even trying or dare to question you or somebody else about how you spend your money.

Oh heavens no!! I’m not either,, I can spend the price of the hammer any weekend night between 3 or 3 pubs I go to.

Very simple then, @dirtywhiteboy, stay home one weekend and buy you a hammer instead, and you can…[Read more]

They are in WoodCraft store for 169$$ here,, screw them.

Is that for the wood handled model? I kinda got the impression everywhere sold it at the same price, just like Festool stuff.

That first pic is before I ever used it. It doesn’t look so new anymore. I really like that side nail puller, it’s amazing how much more leverage you get.

Was super hot and muggy here today, thankfully I was putting in replacement windows, and had the brake set up inside in air conditioning. Still got hot where we had windows out though!

I’ve got the Martinez M4, with curved handle and dimpled face. Absolutely the best hammer I’ve ever owned. I use it about as much for demolition work as I do pounding nails, it’s one tough tool! I paid $225 for mine, have they gone up since?

Kind of a “how not to build a deck” tutorial all in one place. Are there any errors he didn’t make?

Exactly. This deck is at a home we replaced a patio door in the other day, and when I looked…[Read more]

My son works in a fast food restaurant here (Culver’s), and he said he sees similar things. I agree with what was said earlier, we don’t know the circumstances at all. This may have been someone I know well, who knows? As for why they weren’t in the trash, I really don’t know, except if it happened to me, and there were other people in the…[Read more]

Finished up a couple of doors I installed earlier this week. Spent the afternoon using the brake on some aluminum trim.

Saw this in the Lowe’s restroom, not sure what failed, don’t think I wanna know!
