Want to make straight cuts with your circular saw?

Don’t have a steady enough hand?

I sure don’t…

Built a crosscut box! 👇

The saw rides along the rails making a straight cut!

We just saw that episode a couple of days ago!

I have filled many a trash can through the years with my “miss takes”.

Good morning nostr!

Failure is an option…

It is often the best way to learn!

Cheers!

Instead of giving our kids another video game…

Give them tools and show them how to use them.

The future belongs to the builders and fixers!

I agree, however, how do we teach kids about practical skills if their parents are not handy? That is the question that I have been trying to answer. Thoughts?

Don’t ask what are you going to do when you grow up…

ask instead what problem are you going to solve.

I love the restoration of old things! nostr:note1wnq9m2kfjxv8y4pjqsjr76fshtrjd2yf9gyczzh3pckmx57j86ast5tequ

Yesterday, I had a situation that would have condemned many parts that were very expensive due to flaky plating.

My intuition was bothering me so we tried to feel an edge to the plating.

No edge was felt. Most likely it is staining on the intact plating.

Saving the parts from condemnation.

Many times your intuition is right about your situation.

The trick is to listen, don’t let ego get in the way, and act.

Somethings, I am still working on…

This kills me…

Being a woodworker / creator putting a freshly cut maple tree out by the road to be picked up on big trash day…

Hurts…

It could be made into beautiful things!

Oh well…

Have you painted something and the finish was not what you wanted?

Did it have brush marks?

When you want a great painted finish be sure to use an oil based paint.

Oil based will lay down better and give you a smoother and stronger finish.

Even with a brush.

No need for spray equipment.

So, remember when you need a great finish on furniture, woodwork, or doors, use an oil based paint!

Cheers!
