You got these wrong or they changed, the low profile one is 12.99 now and the replacement newer version which is "NOT" a flush mount is 9.99..

What if they don’t know how to do something — don’t phrase it like that but how do you tell them they don’t know what to do? If it’s a guy, no problem, I can say something close to that, but if it’s a women I have to filter it? Riddle me that batman. It’s not that most women want to be treated equally - it’s they want…

Already have a lower end version of this, the light at my desk & in my living room TV w/LED theater back lights are plugged into the UPS’s in both room. It keeps a light, phone, etc on for 3-4 hours in a power outage. My lights in both rooms come on with motion sensor that is also on the ups. When power goes off there…

Amen from another home cook — built my own kitchen ... no teak though, all hickory & quartz.

Amen — hired a company the day my youngest son left for college... best money I ever spent. They do leaves, spring cleanup, mowing, anything I need. All I have to do is write the check to get what I want done. Come to think of it, would have been a damn site cheaper than my two sons for those 23 years! Plus no…

Mob Violence — 2015 — punishment by association and the thought police are rampant. It's the tyranny of the minority ... as Jame Madison said in the federalist papers little did he expect Facebook/Instagram and hidden folks w/cell phones!

There is a skill set that needs to be developed. I would expect you would have had a similar problem with stones too. The sharpening systems make the edge a more repeatable proposition with out the variance while you develop a touch/muscle memory to hand sharpen. That is why sharpening systems are so popular. I use a…

320, 600, 1200, and 2000 — I used to use wet/dry automotive for the paper. If the chisel is beat up, first get a good clean bevel & square edge on a 120g grinding wheel. Just a note for the shaping/grinding part, be careful you don't overheat the chisel, a low speed grinder is nice but a normal grinder is fine, just…

Stones are good, I have a full set of Japanese water stones but it's some pricey stuff. Since I collect hand tools (chisels, planes & draw shaves) etc... I am a bit anal about that kind of stuff. All tools should be in working order not just displays! If the stone ain't flat, then it can't make a flat edge.

Considered it home brewing but since my next door neighbor is a master brewer and owns part of a micro-brew pub — I get a good supply till the boys (actually the girlfriends are more dangerous, they always the raid the best stuff!) ... drink my good stuff up.

Sous-Vide is nice application but any family kitchen (IE you cook for more 1 or 2) ... should have a vacuum sealer. Case in point, went to local Meijer yesterday (mi dept/groc store chain) ... @ 7:30am — they had just rolled out rack of Ground Chuck - all sell by today — marked down to 2.49$ a pound. Bought every bit…

This kid may or may not understand but he has to learn, pain can be the best learning experience. I support the lady's point of view, and the lesson she needs to give her daughter and the young man. He needs to learn that repeatedly beating your head against a wall is bad for you head and rarely changes the wall. But…

Love the cable — had a 63 chevy impala - dash wiring was trashed (was in the back grandpa's barn - mice ya know).. had a light switch sending 12v to the coil so it would run, killed it by flipping off the switch! Light and blinkers on toggle switches.. Had heat though (sorta required in MI) .. but only the driver…

Bacteria is present in "ALL" foods in your kitchen. It's just if they are in a dangerous quantity. Clean it well, cook it done and there is no problem. Idiots in the media over reacting while not understanding what a report says.... Zorku has it right..

They keep for months in the fridge — no problem.

What no love for simple 5$ melitta pour over cone with a #2 filter, kettle, good coffee and a decent grinder(mine is old starbucks burr grinder 45$ on ebay). You don't have spend 100$'s of dollars to get good coffee. I've got like 65$ in the whole setup. Makes outstanding coffee one 16oz cup at a time. Not for…

I buy 5lbs at a time(about 1.5 months worth) of beans, breakout into 1lb quart bags and vacuum pack then freeze. Never noticed dry coffee or any other problems. Works very well. If you have anything at all in your kitchen, get a vacuum sealer... it's got so so many uses and will save you a ton of money. But for coffee…

That hack is bad, but doesn't anyone ever consider all the places (with almost no security probably) that your SSN is and just quit bitchin':

Get a good one — it's the single most versatile tool in a shop. Rabbits, round over, dado, molding, cut out, hinges, dove tails (though I do mine by hand), veneer trim. You can free hand, mount in table, bearing bits, and on and on. I have 5-6, get a nice little mini one for all kinds of useful stuff:

It can be a interesting trade off, but go with good 17-18" band saw (Rikon is mine, but Grizzly is nice too. Powermatic/Jet if you have the cash). Not one of those cheap 14" suckers from HF (though they are better than what you think). Using a 1/2" resaw/rip blade, good guide all you need is to cut it and couple of…
