Lol thanks dude
My kids have a small bookshelf in the hallway next to their rooms,it has been overloaded and started to just about fall apart I noticed the other day. The boy and I proceeded to beef it up and glue,nail,screw, this thing is now like a tank. I have some 3inch metal angle brackets laying around so we used those on the top and bottom corners for added strength,the shelf supports are also angles with screws now. We also used my Stanley aluminum Sharpshooter Heavy Duty stapler and some 1/4″ arrow T50 staples to put the unit backing on.
The boy can set screws by himself with my 12v Bosch stuff. Pretty darn awesome and fun teaching him.

We took two of the shelves and glued and ring shank nailed them together while clamping them with spring and c clamps. This thing can hold quite a bit more book weight now.

Thanks bro,he takes after his daddy a little hehe. Out of my 3 kids he is the most interested in how to use tools,fix things,build things,etc.
Today the first thing he said after I told him my idea to make it stronger was “let me do it”. That confidence is just awesome to me.

Yup, i’m done brushing and rolling too probably, love spraying everything. My wife got a glider swing for free, she wanted it painted, so she got 7 cans of spray paint, I told her there’s no way i’m doing that, my finger will go numb holding that button on top… So she took them back and got a quart of paint so I could spray it on with my HVLP. I thinned it out, and here’s the result:

I don’t care for it myself, but she likes these lively colors haha… it’s also weather worn as you can tell. I wasn’t going to a lot of work on it, so no sanding, just pressure wash to clean it up and remove loose paint from the previous color. I was going for cheap on this, since it’s cracking in places and if i’m going to put time into it to rebuild it, i’m just going to make brand new..
If she doesn’t like the final color now that she can see how it looks completed, well hey, I’ll gladly give it another coat until she likes it, the sprayer makes it SUPER quick. Also I love how easy clean up is on it vs brushes and rollers…

Nice work Carl I think the color will grow on you. Looks good. Your really enjoying that sprayer.
Makin the boss happy is what its all about brother,nice work
Well, this was kind of a series of events today. I had been needing to make a new well puller to pull well pumps out for replacement or service, but too often I have run into wells that the fitting in the ground is not able to thread onto with my well puller because of misalignment… (it’s difficult to explain I know) But the point is, in able to thread a piece of pipe onto the fitting while inside a well casing, i needed a knuckle of sorts to help get the threads started…
Here is what I did:
Snap On 1/2″ impact swivel welded to 1″ male threads… there goes my warranty

Well sir,for Pruning I use Bosch 12″ and Lenox 9″ There is also a really great pruning blade made by Diablo,When I was at HD yesterday they had a sale of sorts on the Diablos, buy a pack and get a free blade. I have alot of blades so I didnt get any,as long as the blade is 5 or 6 tpi or less it should work pretty well,especially with a beast of a tool like that fuel sawzall you have.
Not pictured was some of the larger branches I took down that were approx 9 inches in diameter,didnt really take all that much longer they were wierdly shaped thou so I had to be a bit systematic while cutting them. The bosch blades really fly thru some material,the only thing you gotta watch out for with them 12 inchers is hitting branches behind what your cutting or concrete when you are cutting into smaller peices.
I haven’t done shit today…what’s it to ya?!?
Well, I braided some keychains, took some photos, ate…oh so productive today, just so exhausted…
I went to the beach !!!!!!

Awesome! I use mine for the same thing. How many 4.0 batt’s did you go through to make the pile?
The wife’s Jeep failed it’s yearly state inspection for a weak parking brake. Luckily it was just an adjustment.

Well sir,I only have 2 of the 4.0 batts and I did that with one. I then swapped batts and finished the larger stuff I didnt take a pic of with plenty of battery left.
Its all about the blades used I feel,the bosch are pretty damn sharp and aggressive and I dont put excessive pressure on the tool,I also never cut in the same position i’m always rotating the tool while cutting to keepthe bladein the work.

Bosch recip blades are very under rated most people chose Diablo and Milwaukee, really I prefer Milwaukee and Bosch over NON-carbide diablos

I use Lenox blades too which alot of folks seem not as well. Ive heard good things about the milwaukee blades. I love my Lenox holesaws which is why i got some Lenox recip blades. the bosch blades are just crazy good and make prety fast work of things. I imagine one day when i have a more powerful recip to tryout id be even more impressed.
I totally gotta do my yards today and I may need to hit HD 😉
The Lenox curved are sweet blades

That sucks. The catalytic converters always seem to fall out of my vehicles the first time I hit a speed bump. Almost all the guys running powerstroke around here have EGR problems and rocks snap their exhaust off from the turbo all the way back so almost everyone is forced to do EGR deletes and 5″ turbo back exhaust and just can’t afford to put a cat in the system. It’s the darndest thing how when the wind kicks up the dust the silicon in the soil builds up and reprograms the ECUs/FICMs

Yeah, there are some guys that say the Bosch’s outperform them though. The first time I used my Sawzall it was cutting steel fire suppression pipe out of joists in a building with those curved Lenox blades and they blew my mind. I’ve been able to cut through 1/2″ steel plate with the Lenox blades too. The long thin kerf Waukee torch blades have to be the nicest as far as utility and convenience goes.

I always look for Bosch blades first when I want Recip or jigsaw blades. I find they are the sharpest and best value in this part of the world. I have used Lenox before but have been unimpressed, same with Irwin, so I tend to avoid those 2 now. I have found some Makita blades to be very good also, along with Hilti. I got a bulk lot of Dewalt once which were rubbish in a cordless saw, shook the shit out of me. I picked up a Blu-mol blade yesterday to help with cutting through nails on the deck and am about to go try that out. Today is hopefully going to be a very tooly day 🙂
I did end up at HD today,I did spend some dough there but while we were there the strap on my daughters shoe decided to end its life so off to the shoe we went.
So instead of getting a pack of recip blades to go with the soil and such we bought,she got new shoes.
My wifes spidey senses musta went off or something lol. I did score a can of WD 40 dry lube and must say its pretty good already.
Heres a vid of me using a simple tool I made to rip up my deck.

The thing is that the parking brake has been out of adjustment for years. She never used it since it’s an Automatic and the last 2 inspections they didn’t even test it.
This year we went to a new place and they went through it like never before. He crawled under it to check for a cat and he even checked the filler neck to see if the restriction plate was in there
Honestly, I’m surprised it didn’t fail for something else.

What do you guys think of Bosch circular saw blades?

I prefer Diablos, now Bosch owns Frued with make diablos so I’m sure some of their daredevil blades, those would be the only ones i would consider, might share some of the same technology of the Diablos.

I havent tried one,but Bosch owns Freud like mentioned above. Im pretty sure the Bosch daredevil circular blades are good.
I really like Diablo blades,they are hard to beat.
If I found either one on a good sale id buy them up.
I think the bosch blue will clash with fuel red lol

Since I don’t have any projects lined up, I figured I’d start with some mods to the new knife. Wanted to add a finger choil, and do some file work on the handle. Still in the rough phase, taking my time since I haven’t done this sort of thing in a long time…

Yup thanks! On my back under a kitchen sink, safety glasses can’t stop absolutely everything.

Back on topic, I actually pulled apart some old galvanized pipe with my cheater wrench! I like the wrench ok but man it feels a little bit sloppy and lighter than my Ridgid ones. I do really like the handle though, and it grips great.
Wish I grabbed a pic of the wrench in action but this one of the plugged pipe will have to suffice. ..

I’ll second that! I’ve hurt myself plenty of times. Hell I’ve had my foot crushed and I can tell you the greatest pain of all is stuff in your eyes. You do not know pain until you have a high pressure aerated iodine explode directly in your eyes. Never again.
