Hey! My name's Kevin, and this is my channel where I show all the DIY projects I'm working on. I'm no pro, but I really enjoy the challenge of figuring out interesting, super simple, low budget ways to make/build these projects, and then share as much detail as I can to help you out.
I usually focus on:
- cool, low budget, renovation projects for our funky, modern barn house (plywood floors, aircraft cable railings, concrete counter tops, etc) - simple project builds using basic tools and reclaimed/found wood (pallet & reclaimed wood projects, tables, shelves, decor, art, etc) - simple, low cost tips & tricks (homemade wood stain, diy chalk paint, stud finding, aging/distressing wood, painting tricks, etc) - transforming beat up Craigslist/thrift store furniture into awesome pieces again and flipping them back on Craigslist for a profit!
Have a question, project idea, or ad/sponsor inquiry?
Send me an email or drop a comment, and I'll get back with you.
I scratched up the garage door taking the old paint off. The RU-vid said to use toothpaste/baking soda to buff the scratches. But what they didn't tell you is the metal where you apply it will become a different colour from the rest of the door. Now my garage door is all full of splotches. Can anybody help? Thank you.
a screw head can easily be over 1/2" off center of the stud, and as you move over further and further you can get an effect that's called "tolerance stack" effect, making you WAY off-base. If you have sensitive ears and hands, you can tape the wall with a mallet and hear/feel where the stud is. This CAN be done with a steel hammer, but it's high risk for damaging the wall's facing.
Change your cloth when it gets dark..rinse with soapy water, not plain water. Off you use a sanding pad, make sure you have a solid brass piece, not coated. Jewellers rouge and a Dremel pad will take out scratches.
this is brilliant. Although the presentation you made here is very old I hope you look at the site occasionally to maybe answer questions. Last year I entered a floral competition - in the category where the entries had to feature something rusty alongside the flowers. I was not one of the winners - but the judges made the comment after the winners had been announced that some of the entries did not feature enough rust. So your method might allow me to perhaps do better in the next competition. If I keep on rusting some of the edges of sheet metal multiple times could I get to the point where some holes appear in some spots and some edges are a bit ragged?
Use vinegar on your old worn out files and you'll get the same byproduct, but you'll also etch the files giving them a 2nd life. If you want to reverse the rust and stabilize it on some tools, use a mixture of tannic acid like tea or ground up oak bark/acorns to soak your red rusted tools in to convert it to black iron oxide, which looks better and is more stable, then coat with WD-40 after rinsing in clean water to prevent future rust.
Stretch a rubber band from bottom across top of your paint container to wipe your paint brush on and the paint container will stay clean. Great quick to the point video thank you for sharing
Honestly all my questions got answered I literally was just going to hang something in my bathroom to help my shampoos and all that stuff and every information you gave me was great thank you very much I'm very new at handy dandy stuff I am a woman so I am learning how to grip a heavy-duty tools so thanks 😊 your video helped me very much
Hi there! Can you tell me how your rocks are holding up please? Do you have trouble keeping it weed free? I’m about to undertake a big project and I like how you did yours.
I have a stipple ceiling and couldn't get a reliable reading but measurements and the finder got me close enough to use strong magnets. Thankyou for the reminder about magnets.
