we got the sump pump in and it is running great had enough time afterwards to make our second rhubarb pie. it is great, too.

with a little luck, there should be a picture or our 45 to 50 year old apple tree. it is a volunteer that grew out of a pile of apple scraps tossed out for the chickens. each of the two trunks produces a different kind of apple. the branches on the other side of the tree are long ago dead and...

here is a shot of the shelf under the stairs in the shop I gathered bits and pieces from about a half dozen areas in the shop and they are all here. bonus, I have 8ft boards on the floor underneath.

the recipe calls for gin or vodka. but all we have on hand is bourbon from the bourbon chicken she made. I tried an old fashion with it. didn't care for it much.. today I tried moving the super heavy drill press, just enough so I could put wood on the new storage shelf. surprise, it has...

the shelf turned out great. only problem is that my very heavy drill press is in the way and I can't get some pieces of plywood to the shelf. I need somebody with a strong back and a weak mind to come stumbling along. my bro Dave is a good candidate . lol yesterday we bought a bare root...

we are having nice weather, sunny warm days and then it rains at dusk. the plum and pear trees are all blossomed out apples are just budding as are the grapes. rhubarb is almost ready to be picked for our first pie of the season. I got the lawn mower out and did a few laps around the...

this is a picture of the bottom om the cutting board.

thanks rich, I plan on making a couple more of these. this one is custom fit for my sink. 14 5/8 " across. the two cleats hold it nice and tight. but I am always interested in a better method.. I will try...

here is a photo of the cutting/pastry board I made to fit tightly on the kitchen sink.

I toss oily rags directly into the burn barrel . if they start a fire in there, I don't mind. I agree with the nail method. the ones hanging on the peg board are fine.

Rich , I wish I shared your confidence in me. I just put the blade on the miter saw this morning. despite two teeth missing, and my horse s,,t sharpening, it did cut easily through a 2x4 .. I will keep it aside for a back up blade kind of cool outside today. so I hooked up the battery charger...

I just finished "sharpening" a really beat up 60 tooth crosscut circular saw blade., I didn't test it yet. I don't hold much hope for it.. but with the recent warm spell, I am getting the shop cleaned up and tools in shape.

I might have stated something wrong... on this sharpener, you flip the motor , not flip the blade. steel blades for cross cutting have their teeth sharpened along side of the tooth . every other tooth has the oposite side sharpened. the carbide teeth are sharpened flat across with a...

I believe I mentioned that youtube had several videos that were not worth watching. the machine comes with no set up instructions.. it took me two days to set mine up. actually, I was all set to take it back to HF.. but I finally found one unnoticed set screw. actually my wife did. she said...

for sure

after many weeks of waiting, the tractor fixit guy called today. He has the oil pump and is coming today to pick the tractor up. I will be glad to have it when the weather warms up. I have a few projects I want to do and I do not want to have to use the wheelbarrow. It made it all the way...

Wyo, the sharpener I got is from Harbor Freight. Chicago Electric Circular saw sharpener. It is not a commercial machine, but it does the job once it is set up .. Don't expect much help from Youtube. most of those guys don't have a clue. I had good success with carbide blades. with steel...

My latest claim to fame is, I bought a circular saw sharpener.. I needed some carbide blades sharpened or replaced. at $.40 per tooth, it is cheaper to buy new.. then I accumulate worn saw blades.. I have two contractor table saws and two miter saws.. after this first round of sharpening, the...

our problem is too many freezers. we are trying to empty at least one. we also have two refrigerators.. we had a group home for over 15 years.. now it is just the two of us. my brother and his boys keep us well stocked with venison and salmon and an occasional northern pike..

I read a lot about dehydration. it seems like a lot of futsing .. I actually like to can food. my wife, not so much.. I am all set up for canning.
