I am not too surprised. It is like the shop teacher with 3 fingers on one hand and 4 on the other. People tend to get too complacent with tools they use every day. That's when bad things are more likely to happen. BTW, much respect to you gun safety instructors who teach the young kids (or new...

Thanks for the feedback. I think it's important to update posts when things come up. I really like my pallet wood raised bed v2.0 design because, as I just proved, the raised bed is holding together just fine even though I messed up and got the sidewall boards too tight and then they warped...

⚠️ Update on Filling Raised Beds with Chicken Run Compost All my pallet wood raised beds are using the hügelkultur method of filling logs in the bottom half of the raised bed, then an organic layer of stuff, topped off with a topsoil and chicken run compost mixed 1:1 for the final 6-8 inches...

⚠️ I Made A Mistake On My Raised Beds - I Can Live With It Well, I have noticed that I made a few mistakes in my latest pallet wood raised bed builds. For those who remember, I built a number of pallet wood raised beds this past winter in my garage. Of course, at that time, the wood I used was...

:fl You got lucky, my friend. I have heard of others blowing a hole through their head with an "empty" gun. :old I was out hunting with my grandfather when I was 5 years old. I grew up with firearms from a very young age, as did most of my friends. It was kind of a rite of passage when we took...

Yeah. I have only built wooden steps, which I understand. Good luck on your project.

⚠️ Instant Pallet Wood Worktable Using Sawhorses @Knobby reminded me of why I pick up pallets with solid plywood tops. I found this pallet a few months ago... That has some great 3/4 inch plywood that is in really good shape. What I am using it for is to simply take out some sawhorses and...

:old Yep. My brother and I put in the old wooden dock a few weeks ago. Been using the same wood dock for 35 years. Unfortunately, it seems to get just a bit heavier each year. This year, I twisted my back and have been taking aspirin every day for the past 2 weeks. I'm slowly getting better, but...

:clap Sounds like a lot of great projects coming soon. I hope you share your experience with us and upload some pictures. I know I get lots of inspiration from others when they post pictures of their projects. As for me, I have been busy trying to get everything planted in my new pallet wood...

:idunno Sorry, no personal experience in making steps from pavers. Maybe look on YouTube for ideas?

:thumbsup That's looking mighty fine. Congratulations. Very nice.

:caf What kind of projects do you have in mind? :lau At this time, I think I have more potential pallet projects on my list than energy to build them. Seems like there is never enough pallets and, yet, still more pallets in the backyard than I can work with at this time. :smackDear Wife says I...

Demolition can be a labor-intensive job. And really slow going if you try to save and/or reclaim any old wood. I imagine even taking it down with a sledgehammer was a lot of work. I have done a lot more building stuff than demolition work. But the demolition work I did do I tried to save as...

That Graceland is a very nice looking shed. I don't think I have ever bought a shed with a name on it. I put together a few metal sheds and built some wooden sheds over the years. But nothing that fancy. I would like to try to build a nice shed and greenhouse out of pallets. I keep looking at...

That's what the inside of my chicken coop looks like. But I think the shed in that picture is a little bigger than what I have. How big is that shed? Looks like you could use if for lots of different stuff. FWIW, over the years, I have decided that if I ever build another chicken coop, it...

Looks like they needed it for something like that. I measured my notches and they are only about 1-1/2 inches, so you could not fit anything thick into that gap. Seeing that picture made me think of putting something like that on the ceiling in the shed to hold rods and reels up and out of the...

:clap Zip ties are just great for so many things. It looks like your trellis extension is going to work just fine. One of the best things I like about using zips - other than that they are super cheap - is that if the project does not work out, you can just remove the zip ties and do something...

:idunno For some of the same reasons, only different, I don't think it is worth my time to trap and remove any squirrels from my property. I have 3 acres of wooded lot on lakeshore and there are probably dozens of squirrels in my area just ready to move in if I get rid of the squirrels closest...

:idunno I don't know if you guys are serious about cooking up a squirrel, or not, but I can tell you that in my younger days a friend and I shot, cleaned, and cooked some squirrels one time. I can't remember what it tasted like but seem to recall it was a lot of work for some amount of meat to...

Speaking of cheap zip ties, Menards just started a sale on zip ties this week...
