We are lucky enough to have a Forest Circus run slash/waste pit just 3 miles down the highway. We can deposit logs, slash, pine needles, leaves, and manure for free. NO trash or building materials, only natural stuff. When it gets full, the Circus bulldozes it into a pile, and when the pile gets...

Link doesn't work.

I have always preferred this style Thorsen ratchet; it lets me switch ratchet direction with just a finger tip on the hand holding it, especially handy when in awkward positions. I have (2) 1/2" drives, a 3/8 drive, and this 3/8" drive "stubby". (found it in a junk shop with the handle broken...

And yes, I was one of those that liked him.

Hell, I've been missing him before he died. ☹ RIP Flip.

A few years ago I saw the Forest Circus set a pile of logs & slash on fire. (in a big open area) It had been drying for probably ten years, and there was about a foot of snow on the ground. The pile was probably 100ft long, 50-60 ft wide, and 20-25ft tall. o_O I came by about a month later &...

Me neither.

Another indication of my American machinist reluctance to embrace the metric system. I have been able to adjust to calling the wrench size as a 10mm, but I draw the line at stating the length of the wrench in millimeters. 😈

I don't often tout HF tools, but I bought this wrench set for my latest restoration project. (same job I used the inspection camera on) It might be the nicest/handiest wrench set I own. I needed to reach a long distance up & under a motorcycle fender and remove/replace some 10mm nuts. Without...

I have done this at work,& it worked well, but so far I have only needed about 12", like armylifer.

Bought one of these after some of you pointed out the $15.50 flash sale on Amazing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091L6L1GV?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I have owned (3) cameras like this and used a couple more at work. This is, by several orders of magnitude, the best inspection camera...

Replace. If you are in a area where replacement hoses are not readily available, you might consider getting a spare. Just duplicate the longest one, and you'll have an emergency backup- you can usually ziptie any excess length until you can replace it with the actual length you need.

When we built our place in the mountains, the lumber company shorted us an 11ft 8x8 beam to attach the floor joists to. Being resourceful, the framing crew built a glue lam beam from 2x8s, a case of construction adhesive, and about 100 20d cement coated nails. The framing inspector bought off...
