Most videos are not exactly "How to's" so much as they are "How I do's". But with education in art, historic preservation and urban planning and 15 years experience in construction I've come up with tricks of the trades. Soooo.... check out some random projects in woodworking, masonry, iron, gardening, permaculture projects, fun runs and running gear reviews.

1000 years ago would've still been in the iron age, albeit more likely lucky finds of meteorite formed iron. Before that however, cutting stone and polishing for that matter would have required pressure, friction, sand another stone and lots of time. The same way a flour mill would grind grain into powder, over time even the soft grain would wear down a millstone. These would've be left at the harvest site and used by generations of families, so the first user might have found a flat or concave rock and over time it gets worn down into a deeper and deeper bowl. Hard woods would've also been used and wood pestles are still common throughout SouthEast Asia, I had a bamboo one for grinding peanuts for years before it cracked.
Good recommendation. To be completely honest though, I'm pretty careful and safety conscious but gloves and bench grinders never worried me. I could imagine perhaps the wheel grabbing the glove but IDK, I wasn't uncomfortable with it so I wasn't worried. Now the grinder without a guard? Yeah, I'm worried enough to be very careful with the blades angle and potential kick backs. But alas, this channel was for learning and safety first is always a good lesson!!!
Last couple of details being changed on the Full Zip Hoodie and some labels for both and we're off to manufacturing. First shipments should be arriving in September and Order deliveries shortly there after!!! Really excited with these two and already looking forward to spring for some lighter athletic/workwear for Spring 2025!!!
Lol, Nice!!! Yeah that version of video editor did not have spell check like the thumbnail and title but I always get that one wrong. Ceiling in French is plafond but sky is ciel so the I before e except after c rule makes things look weird when I write them! My brain thinks the ceiling should be like the ciel.
Also, with youtube, if, nay, when you notice a mistake in any of the video that's been formatted you can re edit the video but you lose all the views, comments, likes and dislikes and it becomes a "new" video which can kill you in the algorithm
If you noticed in the Parralel Strand Lumber beam failure video the sheathing stopped at the top of the beam leaving not only the face of the beam exposed but letting water drip over the top of the beam as well. Overlapping as many times as possible where possible is the best way to force water away from a structure. Also, I do prefer some load being carried under those joists as you're putting alot of faith in a metal bracket that's only connected to the very last inch of a board......
I forgot to film that part and didnt realize until editing, its like any other blade or kitchen knife, should I remake this video? Yours is the fourth or fifth comment about not sharpening, lol. Sorry!
You're welcome! Dont forget to subscribe, I'll be working on all new content to grow this channel!! Also adding clothing merch and its not print on demand! It'll be quality gear
You'll weigh a few pounds more but I guarantee you won't be cold with this fleece lined active hoodie. Support the channel = support an artist + rock your own navigation on your next adventure!!!
Ok, in case you're wondering, it is a threaded rivet nut. And it's my current obsession, lol. I'm going to be rivet nutting everything I have no possible need to rivet thread now. Lol, ok, kinda kidding, but not really, there's a couple projects that I've needed this thing for.
lol … what a waste of money and install. My over the range whirlpool microwave basically performs like that. The cfm going into my nose and filtering with my lungs is doing a better job.
Yeah, way better for plumbing and electrical. And the heated vest, and the worlklight that also charges batteries, and the... lol They just didn't have the carpentry tools back in the day so I opted for the 20v platform and once you're into the batterie$$$ you're kinda stuck, lol.
Apologies for the uploads, big difference in mobile vs desktop apps and I resized the landscaped filmed section to portrait. This was kinda why I stayed away from Shorts, lol. 15 years of shooting YT videos made me always landscape the video
The cost difference is so minimal compared to seeing all that work get stained after a year or two of weather. So much so I've contemplated switching to only Stainless Steel so no cheap ones sneak through, its hard to tell the slight difference in color.
That's Pressure Treated CDX with Prosoco R-Guard Liquid Flashing and a Simpson metal strap connecting the first amd second story wall, top plate, header, sole plate and second story wall.
Ahh yes!!! That one's pneumatic and they're coming down in price from what they were 20 years ago! For some reason the strap nailer wasn't working and I wasn't interested in splatting Prosoco R-Guard Flashig all over my face when I miss with the hammer, lol.
Theoretically but I've been playing with these configurations for a long time and it hasn't been an issue. (at least not in the SE and PNW). I actually don't really use OSB, dont care for it,
wrong. No moisture inside a properly built and sided wall. The house I referred to was sheathed in 1/2" plywood and wrapped with 30# felt before vinyl siding went on. R-19 fiberglass insulation in the walls.
@@lazaruslazuli6130So how did you air seal 30# felt? All studs and board ends need to be caulked. Doubt your house would do well in air pressure test. In order for Foil to do proper deflection, has to not be against anything on at least 1 side.
As a contractor, I did this to my headers in a home I built in 1987, that had 2x6 walls. The home also had a radiant barrier across the top chord of the trusses. I built it for $162,000. It was on the market last year for $565,000.
Yeah, builders get it! Less weight than osb or cdx and cheaper. I was hoping to use the thermal camera but of course it went from 80 to 50 and rain over night.
Very nice. The only fly is that your boards all have the green curving the same direction you didn't alternate the curvature of the grain. But otherwise it looks good 😊
Lol, Right? Stay tuned, comparing a stepped double 2x8 California header with fiberglass versus the increased load bearing capacity of a triple 2×8 Polyiso sandwich header with the same thermal breaks.
Perhaps minutely without plywood but if you're shooting 3 1/2" nails from both sides you're getting full penetration 1 1/2" + 1 1/2" + 1/2". The calculations don't really take into account a little strip of OSB, CDX, or PolyIso. TBH. There's so much metal connectors in today's construction that if there was a sheer/ moment issue it would be addressed that way.
Awesome, the added height really changed the space. Another way to handle the framing would be to use "scissor joist" framing but that reduces the rake or interior pitch of the cieling so opted for the " drop sister" approach. I can't say too much about the benefits of the mineral wool, it really is worth any extra cost on all points.
Yeah, the off the shelf selections are pretty lacking, I guess my beef here was that everything is so undersized that they're both inefficient and annoyingly loud.
Yup, well and a ferry if you start or finish somewhere in the middle but you can drive the whole loop. There's at least one night in the whole trip around though, even more in Summer when you can make all the stops. Sol Le Duc hot springs, Numerous waterfalls, Hundreds of hikes, multiple lunch stops, a couple of towns, three entrances to ONP, several beaches, and even a casino if that's your thing (not mine, lol)
I have tried keeping everything original. That brake booster fits in the original location. Truck will stop on a dime. Until I replied tie rod ends, truck had extreme wobble at certain speed. Rebuilt steering gearbox also. Now steady as it can be. When I drained the rear differential, a piece of gear, quarter size, was broken off and in gear box? Shifts up to high range with no problem. I only shift from high to low range,at a standstill. Have around 300 miles on engine rebuild. The V8 runs great, just that it is about half the engine, truck really needs.
I have that truck, with the flathead V8. I Rebuilt rear axle, Transmission, front steering , Brakes and finally the engine. Never had a problem with wheel studs ,sorry. I went ahead and replaced brake vac booster with a modern unit. I always remove wheels and reinstall at Zero air pressure. Use truck for hauling gravel for our long driveway. Truck made in Louisville, Ky. I had new linings made for all four sets of brake shoes. Transmission parts came from Joblot, out of New York City. They had every thing back then, closed now. Still 6v Positive ground. Vacuum two speed axle still works.
Yeah, she needs a lot of work. Thanks for that comment, it gives me some hope. Being in Western Washington we don't really have the luxury of second guessing our brakes. But she's had a long life around here, it so hard to come to a conclusion on keeping it orignal or swapping out axels and differentials and then that leads to the drivetrain......... It's just so beautifully simple the way it its. So much torque. It's perfect for construction. I hope I can keep it!
Probably not. But if you look at the chronological order of the videos you'll see we finished the ceiling and walls prior to repairing the foundation and I wasnt even concerened about it. Either way the cieling is completely fine, the load was completely calculated. If you're not sure don't do it. But I studied architecture and have done construction for over 25 years.
Meant to show that in the update video but that project is long gone. It's a general static and live load calculations based on spans. Next time I do some fancier editing with the math like a Beautiful Mind or something!
I always meant to go back and make another variation, it was a very nice way to use smaller pieces that I had left over and couldn't bring myself to throw away! I salvaged just about every piece of that from storm damage trees I collected over the years.
