When you see the box that pops up, it should give you the option to disable notifications per-the website that's asking you to grant access. Just tick the arrow next to the button (highlighted in my screenshot below) and select "Always Block Notifications" and you shouldn't be bothered by the site any longer. I highlighted the button in red. ------- Hope that helps!

Hey guys! I was wondering if there was an existing list of web images / artwork for TIA that we could use for linking on websites and other forums? I did some searching and couldn't find one. If this doesn't exist, would it be possible to have a page with a list of various sizes, image formats, or perhaps logo guidelines? I think this would help out folks that want to share the TIA links on their personal sites or on other forums, otherwise the people that want to link back to TIA, would have to rip the existing logo on the forum or site. This could degrade the quality if they have to upscale it or something, which is definitely not good for the brand. I don't know how many folks would be interested in this type of post, but I thought maybe it would help some of us out. Thanks!

That's a great deal. I'll definitely have to check it out, for $15 you can't go wrong! Thanks for the heads up!

That's quite impressive. I wonder if it could really drill into something like balsa wood.

That looks awesome! I need to do something like this too. Bottle caps end up everywhere because I'll just toss one on the counter, table, on the desk, etc. A collection box would make cleanup a lot easier.

Those look great! I love pallets, unfortunately can't seem to find any freebies anymore. Everyone wants to try to sell them instead of just throw them out, haha! Great job!

cutie! nice work too!

That was really interesting. It's always cool to see publications from that far back. It's also pretty amazing when you think about it, those tools are still holding up today. People still use them and they keep on ticking. Certainly built to last.

I've never been a fan of the Avalanche, I think they are super ugly to begin with. Haha this guy just made it even worse! I have seen some pretty awesome jobs done with plasti-dip and even seen some rhino lined cars that came out great, but this bed liner job looks REALLY bad. It's amazing what some people do to their vehicles and think it's an art or looks badass, hahaha.

Hahaha! You're definitely right about them being out dated. My previous cordless system was all craftsman, jigsaw, drill, sander, etc. and used nicads and they have bit the dust for the final time. I guess I should iterate a little. I didn't sell all of my tools - I still have some manual hand tools, like screw drivers and wrenches. I also have sockets coming out of my ears haha! But power tool wise they all had to go. I had to rebuild the battery packs on that craftsman system at least twice over the years and it just wasn't worth it any more. So, I guess it was a good thing I got rid of that, haha. I've owned and used Milwaukee drills and circular saws in the past and have been infatuated with the Fuel for quite a while but just cannot afford it. I used to have the old gen 2 Ridgid drill and dug it quite a bit, but it went when I got rid of everything else. I've been looking at the Ridgid Gen5x kit / R8611503 drill for some time and I'm in love with it. It seriously kicks some major butt, especially compared to the older Ridgid drills. That particular drill offers everything I need and I really dig Ridgid's new stuff. Their new tools are pretty damn good right now and I'm super impressed by what they are doing. I just bought a variable speed random orbit sander (ridgid) and couldn't be happier, the thing was cheaper than the Dewalt and the ergonomics were even better too. So I guess it's safe to say I'm really into Ridgid right now. Aside from Ridgid and Milwaukee, I also dig the smaller 12v Bosch line for light duty work. I'm really all over the place, I think every manufacturer offers something decent. Some do one thing better than others and vice versa. I don't mind mixing brands, I have preferences but am always open to new stuff and other brands. ------- A half acre ain't nothing to me I grew up on 10 acres when I was a kid and had to mow it almost once a week in the summers haha! My grandfather flew model airplanes and he had an airstrip out in the field/ back yard, so I would have to help him keep it trimmed and looking good so his planes would land properly. It was a lot of land and a lot of mowing but it really conditioned me hahaha. So I'm good with a push mower, good exercise too! Which I definitely need, haha!

I just bought some nylon, brass, and steel bristle detail brushes to clean up some grime around this apartment before I move out and I tell you what, best $1.79 I have spent in a long time. These come in a 3 pack and the handles are curved so it makes scrubbing super easy and less strenuous. They hold up super well and do a lot of scrubbing. I cleaned the stove, around my brushed stainless steel sink, shower tiles, round the faucets and drains. I even cleaned up some rust off of my Leatherman and a few other things around the place and they are still ticking! http://www.harborfreight.com/3-pc-detail-brush-set-69638.html Harbor Freight also has a 6 piece set for $1.99 which really, it's a better deal because it comes with the 3 detail brushes but it also comes with full-size brushes as well. The handles aren't as nice but they will definitely do the trick. http://www.harborfreight.com/6-piece-detail-brush-set-93610.html ------- I'll go to HF every once in a while to pick up odds and ends like sand paper, sanding discs, stuff like that. Their 5'' random orbit hook and loop pads aren't too bad for what they are. They certainly are not Diablo pads, but in a pinch, they'll get the job done. The various dremel / rotary bits they sell are also not too bad. The diamond bits are actually pretty tough and last a long time, they are a fraction of the cost of the dremel brand. The key to getting the best stuff at HF is to think practical. If something seems to be way too good to be true, it probably is. A lot of their handheld power tools are not really worth it, but sometimes you can find diamonds in the rough. It's definitely best to check out reviews and see what others have had experience with before purchasing something like a power tool from them.

Hahaha! I also thought it would look pretty good in a bar top or even computer desk. Actually! It would be neat in an entertainment center too. Use it to set up mood lighting.

Flipping great work. It's a really simplistic design but it certainly looks a lot more complex, it really stands out! I really dig it!

Really good design there, leandrorr2011. Your metal brake and sheet bender are also pretty sweet! @pmiller383 - You did a great job on the cart, I dig it!

Extremely great build! Like RickyMcGrath said, it could definitely be modified to fit all kinds of work styles. I could really see this being put to use for a stage hand / roadie or guitar tech for a band. Having done that before, it can be a pain rolling around cabinets full of tools and rigging equipment. Never thought to build a sweet add on like this, it definitely would have helped out back in the day, haha!

A gentleman that goes by makerblog on Instructables created this super easy, yet awesome looking accent light using rope / strip LEDs and a few pieces of wood. The effect is quite remarkable and could easily be integrated in to all kinds of projects. I thought I would share, perhaps it'll give you an idea for your next lighting project. Could you imagine a coffee table with a lit edge? It certainly would be nice so you don't stub your toe at night, hahaha! http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Plank-Light/ Image source taken from link.

Looks like a beast! Enjoy it!

It's definitely a fixer upper, haha! The previous owner (single owner home) took pretty good care of it but was unable to keep some things in check do to his age and health status. I'm going to have to gut the garage and put in all new drywall, patch and etch / seal the concrete floor, replace a window and fix the firewall so it's compliant. The doors also need a good refinish and probably re-hung because they are the old swing-out style on hinges and have kind of started to sag a bit. Inside the house we've got to replace two windows, some molding work, refinish the floors in a couple of rooms (all wood floors), change out some doors, locks, etc. Re-finish the front porch and do lot's of painting and whatever patchwork on the walls and ceiling that need to be done. The bathroom floor is plain ugly so I'm going to rip it up and put in new flooring, toilet, build a new vanity. I plan on building some wood benches for the front porch so we can have something to sit on. There's all kinds of stuff that's planned for this place, it should be fun. The only thing that stinks is I have to re-invest in all the power tools I used to have. Going to need some saws, drivers, drills, air compressor, pretty much everything but manual tools. When I moved to this apartment I am in, I ended up having to sell a bunch of stuff because I simply didn't have room for it and renting a storage container was just too much to handle. Here's a picture of the place if you guys would like to see it. ------- ------- ------- It's only 2 bedroom 1 bath. half an acre of land but it's plenty for now. Especially considering this apartment is only 620 sq. ft. haha!

This definitely works quite well. I have done it on my car to remove some of the unwanted name badges. I didn't have an issue with the adhesive sticking though, the entire emblem and sticky backing both came off of the body together. I guess I got lucky, haha! You do have to be careful with the heat gun. If you don't move it around and disperse the heat appropriately you can cause warping and cracking or even melting of the paint.

After searching around, it looks like this is the cheapest price so far for this particular combo too. Thanks for the share!

That video was pretty impressive! It's definitely kickstarter material for sure! If I had nice table saw I would definitely want to invest in some, it looks like they would really speed up box making.

Yeah there's tons of them now with capacitive threads in the tips. The Wells Lamont 7649L and the Mechanix "The Original Touch" are both pretty popular work gloves that have capacitive finger tips. I personally prefer the Mechanix if I were to choose a pair to wear. The Wells Lamont are a tad too bulky in the finger tip area to get a good grip on screws. I prefer not wearing gloves when it's possible, though.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes! I truly appreciate it! I have been thinking I should have registered sooner, instead of lurking so much, haha! You all seem like a great bunch! I'm sure some of you probably saw me on YouTube too. Glad to be a part of the forum and I'll definitely try to contribute where I can. That's awesome! I used to also modify controllers and consoles, mostly consoles. I also helped run one of the largest xbox modding communities online (xbox100) we were second to xbox-scene when modding the original xbox was extremely popular. We worked with all kinds of shops that provided mod services, chips, controllers, etc. Perhaps we could have worked with you? Maybe? Either way, that's pretty cool to hear! The modding scene, sadly, isn't what it used to be.

Hi all, I am ghostshadow, you can cal me ghost if you'd like.(or whatever you want) My real name is Kelly and yes, I'm a dude. haha! Also, I am terrible at introductions. Can't you tell? I have been a long time lurker and watcher of the YouTube channel (started watching in 2011) and finally decided to register on the forums so I could interact with the community. I have mostly been watching the videos and lurking here, but never registered. So let's change that! I am getting ready to move into a new house (first time home owner) so that's kind of exciting. I have been an avid DIY / maker / hacker all my life. I grew up in Indiana and have always had a desire to learn how stuff worked and how to create my own things. I grew up in the country and always had the freedom to tinker, build, and modify stuff whenever I wanted. When I moved to the city (Indianapolis) a couple of years ago, that all changed. Apparently the other tenants in the apartment building don't like sawing, paint fumes, hammering, welding (neither does the carpet (LOL) ), or drilling. So I have had to kind of restrict myself a fair bit. The desire to build and make things has been in me the hole time but I feel like I've been trapped in a creative cocoon. So now that I'm moving into a house, I'll have the freedom to build again! That is super exciting because the apartment dwelling life kind of sucks. What else can I tell you? I'm into photography, motorcycles, skateboarding, older cars. I enjoy fine bourbon, craft brew, the occasional cigar.. I'm an avid video gamer. I love horror movies, comics and reading regular books as well. I listen to music constantly, I cannot go a day without having music playing. I am also technology enthusiast, I dabble in graphics design. I do a little programming here and there (trying to get more serious about it). I'm really into 3d printing and other CNC mechanics, although I do not have one of my own, yet. I will. I have played with them and it's super fun! I am also a professional level YoYoer, I used to do demonstrations but I just do it for fun now. If I had to describe myself, I guess I would say that I am kind of a jack of all trades but a master of none. This is starting to sound like a dating profile! Hahaha! I can't really think of anything else to say. I like long walks on the bea...... wait a minute!... Where was I? Oh, right! I was wrapping this up! So I guess I will end it here. I just wanted to "officially" introduce myself and give you a little background about myself. I know this post is all over the place so hopefully you'll be able to make sense of it. I hope to interact with you guys some more and hopefully share my new projects once we get moved into the new house.

I saw this table a long while back, the guy embedded old tools and other nick-nacks from his hardware drawers into resin inside of a table. It turned out pretty cool. The above link reminded me of it.
