+1 for the cutters with the thumb rest. That was my favorite when I worked at a stained glass shop back in the day. They're good if you're cutting glass all day long. I keep a few cheapo all metal pen style cutters in my toolbox nowadays, and toss them when the get rusty.

This video is fairly thorough, but I'm a little surprised she didn't mention the basic tapping method for cutting glass. It requires no other tools than the cutter itself. Most cutters have a ball on the end or a rounded brass cap on the oil reservoirs for this.

And remember to layout the tile without thinset just to make sure you don't get any weird tiny pieces when you reach the sides of the room. The more time you spend planning the layout ahead of time the better.

+1 for Schluter products! They're not cheap, but it is top notch. I've used they're ditra, kerdi, and metal end caps. Love them.

So far my lottery method is not working...

You can season on the stovetop as well, but the oven works best because the heat is even it takes time. Anytime we bake something I will oil up one or two of my cast iron skillets and put them on the bottom rack. No wasted heat or time.

I checked, and my driver is made in China. *shrugs*

Cool, I didn't know there was a difference. I always called mine tin snips, but they're actually aviation or compound snips. The more you know...

I was looking at getting an offset spatula. I think a non slotted spatula will suit my needs more in general, but I think I want one of these too now.

I agree. Unless it's something I use often and need to move around with (i.e. drill & driver), then I don't see much of a point. I keep an extension cord plugged in the garage at all times anyways.

The only battery operated tools I own are a drill and impact driver. 19.2v craftsman drill and 18v hitachi. Unfortunately they are not the same brand, but if I get anymore I will go with hitachi. They are cheap, and it's proved to be reliable. I have two batteries for my driver, and swap out when needed (not often). I…

It will be any color if you're spray painting without a respirator.

sorry, that reply wasnt meant for you. I meant to tell you that as strange as it sounds you may need more calories. That's crazy. Do you work legs and back enough? The bigger the muscle area the easier it is to make bigger. It's easy for me to neglect them when I lift.

Sounds strange, but you might need more calories and fats! Crazy...

Too much cardio.

I thought it was better than saying "non fat".

Yep! Playing soccer and lifting weights in highschool, I was taking in about 4000 calories a day, and I topped out at 145lbs my senior year (I'm 5'11"). I'm about to turn 31, and I now weigh 155lbs. I'm active, but I don't really exercise. Lifting weights, high protein and extra calories is the only way I can gain…

As a perpetually skinny person, thanks for this article. The only way I can gain weight is to lift weights, and eat like an animal.

And when you have a nice buzz going you can go jigging for crappie.
