Finally started the gate installs for our stairs. Finally started the gate installs for our stairs. It is amazing how many things seem to delay these types of things! My @crescent_tool Square has been an ace for pretty much anything involving layouts. I love the scribe guides and great visibility- it’s one I’ve had a ton of questions on, so let’s here them! * * I started by installing a board to mount the gate to on the walk side. This is an issue a lot of folks run into when installing stair gates because you need enough strength to hold the gate and the stress that will come with it, but often- like in this case there isn’t a stud to work from where you need it. My solution is a board designed to mimic the molding that is mounted using some monster toggle bolts. Thankfully now this can support over a thousand pounds, so we should be in a good spot- although my kids will probably challenge that, ha! * * * #crescent #crescenttools #tools #crescent2020 #square #install #carpentry #carpenter #oak #stairs #toggle #strong #stairsdesign #gates #gate #woodworking #customwoodworking #woodworker #woodworkersofig #makersofig #makers #woodworkers #woodworkersofinstagram #makersofimstagram
Giveaway time! Often times I take photos and video Giveaway time! Often times I take photos and videos that end up being crazy awkward- usually they don’t get posted, rather passed around to family and friends to get a laugh at! The best is to come up with “what was I thinking” and since I was asked to host this giveaway and this was one of the latest, it seemed like a great chance to include y’all! * * Here’s what you gotta do- caption this photo- follow the brands, (not required but please support these awesome companies!)- @stabilbrand @surecanusa @isotunesaudio - No tagging required, but I’ll give you a bonus entry if you share to your feed and/or stories! * * Ends on Saturday February 29th at Midnight CST. Winner will be contacted Sunday. Not affiliated with Instagram. * * One lucky winner will receive- SureCan • 1 - 2+ Gal Gas Can • 1 - 5 Gal Gas Can ISOtunes • 1 pair of Green FREE STA-BIL • 360 protection • 2 cycle oil • Start your engines • pump protector •Fast fix •Small engine pro * * * #giveaway @stabilbrand @surecanusa @isotunes #community #laugh #comedy #captionthis #ope #ppe #isotunes #shop #truck #trucksofinstagram #f160 #stabil #surecan #gas #metal #woodworking #maker
Sanding is one of the things I both love and hate. Sanding is one of the things I both love and hate. It’s the single most important step in any finishing process but it can take a lifetime, particularly when you have intense removal you’ve got to get done. Here I am removing several coats of stain and Poly in a matter of minutes with the Bosch 6 Inch Sander. The GET75-6 has a turbo mode that provides for 3 times the removal over its standard mode, and this was a perfect example of this sanders power. Beast mode, for sure! * * * Hopefully this quick video answers a few questions I have gotten since I received this sander, and the full review will be up later this week! I am using this @boschtoolsna Sander with @diablo_tools SandNets- 100 Grit. * * * #bosch #boschtools #diablo #diablotools #toolsofthetrade #toolreview #sanding #finishing #removal #refinish #oak #boschprofessional #woodworking #woodworker #woodworkersofig #makersofig #makersofinstagram #woodworkersofinstagram #shop #carpentry #carpenter
Of all the things I dread doing- it’s installing Of all the things I dread doing- it’s installing doors. It’s not that it’s hard, more just tedious. And the hinges used on these cabinets are literally the worst I’ve ever seen, so I find myself having to readjust them occasionally to keep the doors level. What are y’all’s thoughts on cabinets doors? Any tips or tricks you wish you knew sooner?? * * * Miter loves helping, although his way of helping is somewhat of a double edged sword! Thankfully he hasn’t run off with my @weratoolsna Tool Check set. The puppy training I can handle, but please God, don’t mess with my tools! * * * #weratools #handtools #cabinet #install #cabinetry #carpentry #carpentryskills #wood #woodwork #design #diy #diyprojects #kitchen #maker #makersofig #woodworkersofig #woodworkersofinstagram #dog #shopdog #labradorretriever #labsofinstagram
Sawdust Sunday was more like lawn work, and gettin Sawdust Sunday was more like lawn work, and getting back to removing the old finish on this vanity. Very eager to get this project further along this week too! Stripping furniture can be tedious, depending on the overall shape and detail of the piece but it’s doable! Just takes patience and effort. * I have had sooo many questions on my process, but for the sake of keeping it all together, drop them in the comments and I’ll answer them! I do use Citri-Strip as I can’t handle the heavy fumes and I find it works very well overall! * * * #handstripping #finish #refinish #paintstripping #paintremoval #antique #restore #makeover #vanity #woodworker #woodwork #maker #makers #makersofig #woodworkersofig #makersofinstagram #womenmakers #womenwhobuild #womenwoodworkers
