I too was an unmotivated student, it took me 5 years to complete a 4 year High School program, I just barely got by and graduated in the lower third of my class. 30 years later I started college and earned a Bachelor’s Degree, with Honors in only two and a half years, while holding down a...

I have a bench mounted on a Harbor Freight mobile tool base. When I step on the pedal one end rises and it can be rolled around.

Started cutting the Landscape Cloth liners for the Raised Bed Planter Boxes. Determined that I don’t have enough to do the job; put another roll on order.

i am skeptical about anything offered for FREE that would put me into a different battery platform. My first decent set of tools were Craftsman but now, 68 years later, I no longer have confidence in the Craftsman name.

Booms can be added to your Forklift. They slide on the forks, just like a pallet. A forklift will a Boom has often been pressed into Sevice as a substitute for a Crane or Engine Hoist. We don’t need any stinking Safety Wardens

Have you considered a Knuckle Boom? Not only can they be a work platform, I have used them as Cranes.

I bought a pair of these special pliers some 40 years ago, I don’t remember if they were KD or Lisle. They had swivel pads on the tips of the jaws and catch to lock them closed while holding the hose clamp open.

Built another elevated planter box. As much as I have enjoyed building and selling them, I probably won’t build any more. My legs get tired, I take a nap then go back to work.

We used Ceiling fans in the house until we had the Air Conditioning installed. My shop has several floor fans, all discarded by former tenants. My former tenants have left behind many useful things.

IMHO, Schedule 40 pipe 2” or larger will take a lot of load in direct compression. For a single porch or deck I would probably use the heavy Simpson brackets. Having a Stick Welder solves a lot of problems.

Home Depot sells GOOF OFF, (repackaged XYELINE sp?) that will remove many adhesives. Porch and Deck enamel should stand up for routine cleaning. May your trailer give you good service for many years.

Cut some more boards into pieces to assemble into legs for the boxes currently in production.

Unfortunately his mother dropped the ball on this. He has seen a succession of her temporary Boyfriends.

With the assistance of my part time helper and his daughters boy friend, 10.Elevated Planter Boxes were assembled today. After the Landscape Cloth lining is installed they will have a Wholesale value of $800. My materials cost about $180 and the labor about $350. The work place and electricity...

Completed the cutting all of the parts for 6 Elevated Raised Bed Planter Boxes that I am hiring a 20 year old kid to assemble. He needs Money, has no work history and I can afford to pay him. He will not be using any tools with sharp edges, just a pneumatic brad nailer. If he shows up...
