DIY Homemade Hip Kit | Put on socks no bending over

Have you had hip or back surgery? Maybe you just can’t bend over for whatever reason. This DIY Homemade Sock Installation Device is a cheap and easy way to put on your own socks without having to bend over. It’s really simple and can be made with some PVC pipe and two pieces of rope. For tools I used a hacksaw, and handheld grinder, and a file. This is really nice if you have fused vertabra, lower back injury, disability, hip surgery, etc and cannot physically bend over to put your socks on and can be done from the sitting upright position with ease. I made this one in particular for a friend of mine who had hip surgery and he thanked me greatly saying it saved him from having someone else having to put his socks on for him. This is a great gift for someone in need of such a device and can be made for super cheap.

How to Grill Steaks In Singapore | Deliciously Juicy Australian Steaks

Mouth watering video “How to Grill Steaks In Singapore | Deliciously Juicy Australian Steaks Cooked Medium Rare and Well Done”. Cooked these tasty slabs at for a few different time frames as there were three different requests, one barely cooked (a lot of red inside), one medium and the other well done. I grilled these up with a little bit of Johnny’s on each side. They turned out delicious. I did cut the fat off a little on two steaks(per request), and the left it on the third. Hard to beat feasting on freshly grilled steak with a baked potato.

DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Painting

I made this video “DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Painting or Picture Display” for fun for my daughter’s painting display. You can really make some cool decorative easels using different pieces of decorative metal. These are fun to make. I’ve made and sold many of them in the past. This one was just a basic model and wanted to keep it simple. Easy welding project and they last forever. Easy to fold up and store when not in use as well.

DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch Outdoor Long Burning Log Round

In my DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch | Outdoor Long Burning Log Round” video I show you how to quickly and easily make a fire log project. I’m reposting this video after having found it in my archives. I had deleted it from an earlier youtube endeavor a few years back. The idea of a Swedish torch itself was not mine, however, after watching some videos on it back in the day I figured I’d make my own version using my trusty Stihl chainsaw. These are a lot of fun to make and burn for a solid couple of hours + depending on what kind of wood you are burning. This was just a round of fir but I could only imagine how much burning time you would get out of a round of a hardwood like oak or even madrone (I call them madrona).  You can use a chainsaw but you could also use a bucksaw or handsaw to make one. You could do this camping or if you are able to, in your back yard.

How to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain in Singapore | No P-trap Under Sink

The Singapore under sink plumbing set up is different than what I’ve seen in the states for the most part. This set up is pretty nice in many ways but also seems to clog up more frequently than most of the standard US p-traps I’m used to dealing with. This is really nice in the sense that when it does clog up you just put your water catch basin under the sink and unscrew the receptacle, dump it out, and screw it back on. Really a great set up if you ask me. The problem I saw was that it leaked no matter how tight I tightened it by hand once it was full of food waste debris.

Here’s some good plumbing/unclogging tools to have:

Whats Inside? Fujitsu Brand Lifebook Laptop | Complete Teardown Take-Apart

Join me on this take-apart. At first, I attempted to take this apart in a surgical fashion. I was successful for the most part but ran into a few roadblocks and busted some plastics in the process but not for a lack of trying. If I had to take another one of these apart, I’d watch this video and see that there are some strategically placed hidden Phillips head screws. I learned a lot from this teardown. There were some salvageable parts discovered as I tore this down. I was really surprised how thin a laptop computer “monitor” or screen is. Modern technology is amazing…AND this sucker is considered outdated!! wow. Either way, I’m sure it’s like most modern products (from China), not built to last. I have yet to own a computer as good as an Apple. Anyway this was fun to take apart and check out the guts even if I have no idea what the hell they do.

Wood Floor Repair Project | Cheap Quick Fix | Wood Filler Putty and …



The wood just inside this sliding glass window has taken a beating from sunlight and moisture. It really needs to be replaced. So much so that it is starting to show signs of rot and is giving way at some of the edges. Rather than try to refinish it or replace it right now, this wood putty fix was just what was needed for a cheap and quick repair job. If I was the owner I would not have it get as far damaged as it did and would have refinished it. It’s possible it’s still salvageable but definitely needs to be resealed to prevent further damage. For this band-aid type of quick fix I just used some wood filler putty, both light and dark and tried to come close on a color match but was unsuccessful so I used a furniture touch up marker to bend it in so the repair didn’t stick out as much.
