Youngest Daughter requested a small bookshelf. So I will be on that soon.

6 pack holder with Bud Light, oh the inhumanity.

I use Mineral oil and Bees wax on the salad spoons I make. I hit the wood with a heat gun and the oil just sucks in.

I will try the BLO.

Bet the smell is great !

How did that pipe get loose in the first place ?

When I was 17 I worked at a plumbing wholesale part time. We were all warned about how dangerous rolling pipe could be. I had a near miss with some 12 inch cast iron pipe.

Yup the fill is well marked and the oil stick is an easy find.

You can add some calcium to your concrete to kick a bit faster on cold days.

Good looking project.

When I was a Nurse I did a lot of work with Type 2 diabetics and there feet. Have to watch very carefully for injuries and loss of sensation.

I can not believe that you would have to suck the oil out of a machine. It has to have a drain plug.

Well folks I just got off the phone with Husqvarna. They said that plug shown is unremovable.

I need to get a pump and suck the oil out.

Never heard of that before and scratching my head WHY ??

Took a while. I guess the old Mac is ailing.

I would have thought a good antenna would be a given. I really want a PB. I have to look for an old radio and see if I can salvage some parts.

My old radio in the shop had poor reception, so I strung some copper wire and that seemed to help. Being in a valley seems to make reception a PITA. No FM stations at all.

@MJconstruction

Where are you located ? What kind of soil in your area ?

Seems like a slow process and how they deal with rain water in the hole during that time.

Have a good one. I’ll have a drink for you later.

In the great Frozen North, were we can get condensation on windows during the winter, The drywall turns to mush in no time.

Shop grade Birch for paint grade work is easy and probably as econo as you can get.

This is why you should never wear loose clothing while working on machines.

That was grizzly, over in 0.5 seconds. I wonder what injuries he got from that ?

I’ll do it for 14.9 Million.

As mentioned heritage property is it’s own beast. I worked with a guy that bought a heritage property and now he wishes he did not.

If you use West System, make sure to use the right hardner. They make on that is UV resistant.

Mike is a stand up fellow. Always liked his show and his stand on the trades.
