    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    Shop / Tools Opportunity to learn/experience welding... Episode 1

    Paint every inch of wall and ceiling bright white, far cheaper than 2x the light fixtures and almost as bright. 12'+ ceilings will keep you cooler in the summer. Most important: computer and Internet access for streaming audio and how-to vids on YouTube. HF TIG does not always play well...

    I cook tri-tips a LOT on the Big Green Egg, marinated in Montreal seasoning with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and they look just like that when I take them off. Inside, they are quite rare with lots of moo left. Once they are on the grill I never leave. The very second the meat starts to...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    I need to build a new base like that for my dining room table since the current one has the legs exactly in the way of your knees. Only problem is it needs to expand to add the leaf. I'm thinking a pair of oversized drawer slides or rig up something home-brewed.
