Tool Girl’s Garage
Impact Drivers are among my favorite tools- they’re powerful and versatile all at the same time! I’ve partnered with @loweshomeimprovment to share some of the new tools from @kobalttools in their 24V XTR lineup with you guys and I have to say I’m in love! These tools are designed for pure power and performance. Their compact design really won me over, and I’ve found it to be one of the most well balanced impacts I’ve ever used. Not to mention they are a killer value! Have y’all checked out the new Kobalt line? * * Make sure you check out my thoughts over at the Tool Girl’s Garage website for more thoughts on these awesome tools! * * #lowespartner #lowes #kobalttools #pickupthepower #kobaltxtr #newtools #tools #24V #impactdriver #diy #pro #protools #build #construction #maker #woodworker #woodworking #builder #buildit #carpentry #framing #makersofinstagram #makersofig #tools #toolsofthetrade #woodworkersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #makers #makersofig #woodworkersofig #carpenter #wood #woodwork

When is the last time you put gas in your truck or When is the last time you put gas in your truck or car? For me it was probably February- with quarantining and a 36 gallon tank on my Ford, I was set for a long time! Finally filled it up this morning- and now more than ever was a great time to add @stabilbrand 360 Complete to my fuel tank. I’ve used this in my truck religiously over it last year and it’s kept it running smooth, and has helped with fuel efficiency too. What are your vehicle maintenance tips? * * * * As a @stabilbrand partner I am able to share some of their awesome products with you guys! I’ve used StaBil for many years, and have found several new favorites! * * * . . . . . #trucks #trucksofinstagram #trucksofig #ford #fordf150 #truckowner #donttouchmytruck #outdoor #thegreatoutdoors #ope #outdoorspace #storageideas #storageunit #diy #woodshed #storageshed #shed #woodshop #carpentry #vintagefan #diylife #shedlife #storage #storagesolutions #storagesolution #woodworker #makersgonnamake
Finishing this Epoxy River Desk for my little man Finishing this Epoxy River Desk for my little man using Rubio Pure and a whole lot of elbow grease! Love how the snakes pop in the blue epoxy and the colors contrast with the mahogany, adding legs today too so we’re almost wrapped on this build. What do y’all think of how this came together? * * * Used the @makersreusablemold with @totalboat Deep Pour Epoxy, @mixolusa Tint and @rubiomonocoatusa in Pure. * * * #totalboat #epoxy #epoxyart #finish #finishing #rubio #rubiomonocoat #toolsofthetrade #resin #rivertable #desk #custom #maker #makersofig #makersofinstagram #makermom #woodworking #woodworker #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkersofig #shop #woodshop #art #woodartist #carpentry #woodandresin

I have spent a lot of time the last week wondering I have spent a lot of time the last week wondering how we as a nation, as a human race move forward in a climate of pointing fingers and misunderstanding. I have heavily debated saying anything here, because honestly when I shared my feelings on my personal media, it felt like I couldn’t be heard because people successfully made my feelings about them. People began attacking other people they’ve never met simply because they could that overwhelmed me. I always followed my kids school motto “if you can be anything- be kind”. But-staying silent isn’t an option either, and in this situation isn’t the example I want to set. So- I want to share a story, and I hope it sheds some light on what we all need to have right now, compassion, understanding, and a desire to do what is right. Four years ago, I went on a quick weekend trip with a girlfriend of mine, we were celebrating my 30th birthday. While eating at the resorts main restaurant we met an incredible young black man, I say that now only because it is relevant to this story. Somehow we got on the topic or racism and specifically white privilege and what it really meant. He shared personal stories of situations he and his family have encountered, of times he was at risk, of times he was simply not respected for his intelligence and skills because of the color of his skin. He shared the impact it had on his relationships- these specifically got to me as I hurt for him at the loss he faced. We talked about politics, favorite foods, sports, all manner of things too, but his openness changed me forever. I shared storied of my life too, and he listened and engaged in struggles I had faced with love and compassion too. See, the act of hearing someone isn’t the same as “listening”. I thank him still to this day because while I wasn’t racist, I also didn’t understand what the various movements were trying to say. I didn’t get why #blacklivesmatter wasn’t #alllivesmatter. I felt at times it was divisive and it isn’t, its about awareness. I argued points with others I didn’t fully understand, and I thank this young man for shedding light from his perspective, and I am eternally grateful for it. * * Continued in comments
