Join us on our 5-acre property on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We raise chickens for eggs (and fun) and I do a lot of work on the coop to make life a little easier for us. Our Barn - was a Horse Barn constructed in 1975 - has been converted into a workshop and a pottery studio. The workshop includes most of the usual woodworking tools, but also some 3D printing, Laser Etching, and a little CNC.
A bit disappointed to see a woodworker 3D print rails when you could have just cut dados into the box and slid the trays into them. It also would allow the clearance to be smaller and take up less space. You're now on RU-vid woodworkers probation, Andy...
The print bed does not get very warm, the print head is very hot but small and far from wood. I have not had any issues with heat - there is venting to dissipate heat as well.
@@LogHouseFarm thank you for the reply. My neighbor has chickens. I bought a 5 gallon bucket and made some for him. He has a automatic timer and turned to water on, and he was just dumping it into a trough. He says his chickens are much happier now.
I’ve got a question. I have a little old barn that I’m using as a place to work on my cars and store them, I’ve been wanting to insulate it but I’m not sure how to go about it. The walls are just wood planks but there are lots of gaps/ small holes and I wasn’t sure if I’d have to put a layer of the vapour barrier down first, then insulation, then another layer of vapour barrier, or if I can just put insulation right in
Howdie awesome workmanship ya got this ya do make it look easy enough to do instead of you have great ideas for our basic tools so going to follow you up and give it ago from Canada 🇨🇦 SK later 😊keep the great ideas we all need these so many thks good year ahead in 2024
Some good ideas here. But instead of whittling down the size of your dowel to fit the blue handles, Why didn't you just drill a little bit bigger hole?
Can someone please tell me why puzzle boards have to be so darn heavy? 😮💨 Isn't there another type of material these boards can be made out of? 🫤 Cedar or corkboard.
@@LogHouseFarm I'd like to build a smaller, simpler box shape enclosure. I don't have a table saw, bit I have a jigsaw somewhere. Do you think this would be sufficient or would I be better trying to source someone with the proper tools?
I used a basic white glue for the felt, sort of like what kids use in school... But I would not use it again, I would use a super glue, something that does not go on so thick. The felt should be avayat just about any fabric store.
If I was a chicken and hawks and owls were a constant deathly threat… I’d appreciate an little awning while I was getting a cool drink. Nice. Chicken stamp of approval.
Can Hardie Backer Board be used as wheel thrown bats? Any idea if Lowe’s might cut them for me? Ballpark cost for the. To do it? I have a large piece of HBB clamped to my table. I use the larger piece for reclaiming clay. The smaller piece I use to wedge clay before throwing on the wheel, esp when clay is a bit too wet to throw adequately. The two pieces that are cut up for reclaim & wedging destroyed a saw blade. I wish I had been better at cutting it straighter.
Curious about how your watering system is still working out. I built something similar a few years ago and I've had to put down 2 chickens within the past year because they became ill. They were both showing the same symptoms, weak, lethargic, and not eating. When I clean out the rain barrel, it is disgusting inside and the water smells really bad. I add ACV once a month to help kill any bacteria, but I'm wondering if it's not enough. I'm contemplating dumping the whole watering system this summer and switching it to something that doesn't hold quite as much water so the chicks are getting fresher water more frequently. Btw, I have no idea what is causing them to get sick. I'm just convinced it's the water. It does not smell good.
I have not had any such issues so far, I will keep an eye on it though. We only use it about 6 months of the year so I am not sure if that makes any difference.
I tried to register my rigid oscillating sander and they make it so difficult to do so that I simply gave up after many tries. I am a senior so my computer skills are li8mited and perhaps that is part of the problem.I sent the requited information when I purchased a rigid router but never received and acknowledgement if they got it or not.I dont think I will purchase any more products from rigid for these reasons
The videos are less acting and more "letting the work speak for itself". Truely Canadian and makes you want to work in your own shop. Thanks for the inspiration.
Question: What sander do you prefer? I also have the Mastercraft. Now it has just burned out. Again.! Im not sure if I want to purchase a 3rd or go with the the new one you showed in your video. Either way, I won't be purchasing it from Crappie Tire. Just looking for a few pros and cons. Thanks! 🇨🇦
Canadian Tire is ok for starting out... get something cheap so you can get started, but know that you are going to replace it before too long. The rigid is good so far and it has a lifetime warranty (not sure if they still do that) Best of luck to you.
Thanks. Was more along lines looking for what sander you preferred. But yeah anyways I was able to find a nice GENERAL online to go with my jointer planer and bandsaw that I have from the 60's. 👍
