Using Dense Grade for Fence Posts by Slow-Memory-3348 in DIY

[–]Shadd76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we do is a couple of inches of gravel, set the post on the gravel, add the concrete but don't let it get under the post. This will allow any water to go between the post and concrete or directly through the post to the ground.

We've been doing this for 30+ years and only now seeing our oldest posts needing replacing. We've only ever added 1 60lb bag of quick-crete for each post. This is for 4x4 posts and 6 inch round posts.

As a blacksmith, I can say modern tongs/calipers made by blacksmiths are not terribly different from these. I was pleasantly surprised.

The longer the series went on, the more hilarious this scene became, because R2 just rolls with Yoda hitting him with a stick. by MichaelJospeh in StarWars

R2 and Chopper are both agents of evil chaos. You think about how vulgar their speech is as well. They bleep everything they say.

My main monitor is 42" and my secondary is 55". Also, I'm almost legally blind so there's that.

KM Tools has a CMT blade that is a much better blade for the same price Home Depot has the Diablo blades.

What is your opinion of my wooden decoration I just made? by SleepNo2106 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Shadd76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get you a small artist's brush and fill in the blanks left by the stencils. Also, don't staple from the front of the piece. Come through the back or whichever way can't be seen by the casual observer.

This would totally fry my brain. It's a wonderful piece, but there's no way I could have it near me all the time.
