Fazzman Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 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. Finished product: 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. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 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 - - . OOH Look you can see a whisp of smoke, I took the picture so fresh after i welded it! - And then spray painted it on my new centipede!! - 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosch recip blades are very under rated most people chose Diablo and Milwaukee, really I prefer Milwaukee and Bosch over NON-carbide diablos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
