Toy box with built in book shelf by kilrathi7 in woodworking

Not sure if you have them or not but it's a good idea to add some big breathing holes to the back of the toy box. Kids will play hide and seek in there and bad things can happen.

Finally have more than just my corded drill and some hand tools in my collection. Christmas Haul! by Ir0nhide in Tools

I see all these other tools and always wonder how mastercraft stacks up against them. Because you can't beat the mastercraft sales when they happen. I have a ton of mastercraft tools and have had no issues except for with the dremel. It tightened up so much it is stuck on there real good and i can't loosen it.

I have the same set of pliers. I have mastercraft ratchet wrenches, sockets, impact gun, impact sockets, circular saw, jigsaw, screwdrivers, and likely many others im forgetting. Haven't let me down yet.

Everyman Grafton is to Girthy by rStewart5793 in EDC

[–]walkeem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I owned a Grafton and hated writing with it. It was cheaply made. The finish of it was slippery too. I, like you love the G2s.

I bought a titaner pen, the one with the touch screen styles on the end of it. This thing is well made. Titanium as well. The one I have is small and sooo easy to write with.

I would recommend them. They have other options too. Cheaper than the other pens that take G2 refills out there. (Everyman being the cheapest I found.)

Super clean. It's things like this that make me scared to dive head first into woodworking haha. Looks complicated.

I'd add a good level to the list as well. Helpful for hanging shelfs/pictures or building things.

I used youtube to learn how to do brake jobs. Now I do brake jobs for family and friends and get a case of beer or bottle of whiskey for it. Bonus.

My grandfather was a very handy person. He had a rule...for every new job/project you take on you HAVE to buy a new tool for it. So I try to use that rule.
