    Found a nifty gadget...

    many 9v batteries are made up of six AAAA. Some aren't but you can usually get lucky tearing open a 9v to get them.

    camp boxs

    I have a biscuit joiner a cow worker gave me years ago and it still works fine, I had to restock my biscuits last summer when I built my ammo crafting table. I was thinking the pallet wood for the old worn look.

    camp boxs

    Are there standard sizes/plans for these? I'm thinking pallet wood would work well since its rough and used to give it the aged look.

    blemished/reject stock for carving pratice.

    So the one thing I did wrong was I didn't seal the ends and both logs did crack, but they sat in my garage for a couple years to dry. So I worked around the crack and made what good lumber I could. Here is how I routed the sides flat Then I used the bottom of a treadmill we found at the...

    blemished/reject stock for carving pratice.

    When hurricane Sandy knocked down a bunch of trees on my parents land they drug them all down for firewood. I cut a couple nice logs just short enough to fit in the bed of the truck then hauled them home. I rigged up a support for my router and used it to debark and make a flat side then used...

    Anyone cast their own brass furniture?

    I wouldn't be doing it in the house and there is a special sand mixture you use. Anyway, the king of random is a popular 'youtuber', my son always wants to build his stuff. We made the water burner and the metal melter already. I'm going to find a small metal fan as the hair dryer melted...

    Anyone cast their own brass furniture?

    It looks like the king of random's metal melter might get hot enough (if you don't know what that is, search for the youtube video from the king of random). I've been searching for a buttplate that looks like mine to make a replica rifle but can't find one quite like it. So I was thinking of...

    What's in your range box?
