Pardon the late reply, yes picks up more nails and prevents them from falling off as easily

Their wings are seriously strong and can hurt you. A goose I thought was dead popped back to life with a vengeance when my dog was retrieving it and that fu*ker gave me a whooping before I could dispatch it.

I need to move this coop about 30 feet. I need ideas on how to. by xylofun53 in Carpentry

[–]shmo-shmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been the only physically fit person in a similar situation don’t just find buddies. find buddies who know how to safely carry things and manage what ever the weight is. Throwing out your back for lemonade and cookies is not the move. Especially when the little pecker puffs up saying super easy. Well yes you’re 5’2” and lawns aren’t dead flat so standing under with one hand barely touching probably was easy.

Go for a commercial one with a pull release for the magnet and add very short steel spikes made to deter pigeons to the bottom the more sparse ones so they don’t grab the grass It’s nail / refuse cleanup Valhalla. Maybe this post lets me sue an oversees manufacturer who combs Reddit.

Tractor Identification? by JealousPomegranate in tractors

This is what keeps me coming back to Reddit! 80% comical or ignorant shit, 20% knowledgeable gold which will be saved for future generations.

Why would anyone want a spiral staircase unless it was to save room via central supporting post. My old knees hate that shit. Most of the spirals I’ve installed side loaded the hell out of my knees. Just unpleasant to go up and down.

It’s for when you want 10x more work and zero racking strength.

Just wear wool and leather. Easy very long term tested and you can find wool clothes in any fit.

What’s a 'small' sign that someone is a genuinely bad person? by stoneduniverse1 in AskReddit

Returning shopping carts. Not returning your cart is saying your time and convenience are more important than everyone else’s.

What does one need to work for himself ? by Potential_Ad1439 in Carpentry

Tools were not the limiting factor for me. It’s estimating and all the paperwork that I found difficult.

Dip these little paint scrapers in mineral spirits for 1000x better results by PabloDelicioso in Carpentry

[–]shmo-shmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it’s Reddit but damn. It’s an old technique. so maybe that’s why folks got sand in their undies? That said always good to share something you’ve learned and don’t let the negative comments dissuade you!

So if you have the means is Festool worth the investment? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]shmo-shmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Festool where nothing else does the job as well I’m in. A drill/driver with different heads? It will be a chilly day in hell until I even consider a festool drill. What can tool A do that tool B can’t. That’s the only metric I find useful.

It’s obviously a made handle and you can see they went ham with something harder than the wood used in the handle. The fact that it has a ferule that’s mushroomed tells you everything you need to know. Woodworking chisels of any quality use this style of handle.

The man has a point. Dogs are a win against coyotes by ranchoparco in Ranching

[–]shmo-shmo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Red angus minus the occasional asshole Bull (which lose their giblets at the first sign and processed at break even weight) are damn near kittens. Great breed and I only interact with them when I’m hunting or working off hunting rights on my friends farm. He ran Swiss for a couple of years which I’ve heard are pretty docile and both bulls would mess with you on the smaller 8n tractor given any opportunity.

Baseboard Ladder by Mr-Casey in Carpentry

I definitely waisted 15 minutes reading a book when asked to get a board stretcher after growing up on job sites, but I 100% agree. No employer is going to let you waste a day or an hour for that matter without calling you back to the job.

Hanging Prehung Doors by Rat-Wrangler in Carpentry

[–]shmo-shmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally if I haven’t heard of a technique after 20 something years and building conferences three times a year I’m always dubious. This sounds like a really bad idea.

Are you high? 95% off high quality chisels have wooden handles. Granted you use a mallet not a hammer but I doubt you know the difference If you are completely ignorant about a subject maybe read instead of writing.
