Winter project. I don't even have a flint lock rifle just thought it would be fun to make. Also made a leather possibles bag.

Farmhouse table for our new backyard. Wanted something that would look a bit antique as it weathers. Mill sawn redwood from a local mill. Made for some challenges as the dimensions varied quite a bit.

From one plant I was getting 4-7 a day for the past few weeks. Couldn't keep up eating them raw with miso paste. So made some refrigerator pickles. Came out great.

Sure, but they don't come fresh from my garden. That's priceless.

Very few people have gardens for cost saving reasons. It's for enjoyment, freshness and knowing where your food comes from.

What's your point again?

I'm saying, that's a good harvest! I can grow fruits, but not veges.

Just cleaned up some gear drives.....came from a buddy's house who has some nasty well water. Note how clogged up the screens are...

Little muriatic acid and they're as good as new...

This is my beater vw gti. Bought for $500. Mechanically ok, but interior is falling apart.

The headliner had dropped completely so it was touching my head.

I debated on whether to spend $15 on a can of 3m spray glue. The glue didn't work as the backing had deteriorated.

So I used a staple gun.

****ty job but it's a big improvement

Same issue with my E36. I took it out, and sprayed it with the "granite rock effect" spray paint (gray, black, white). It turned out really well.

Nice idea. I didn't want to deal with removing the entire panel. I'm hoping to be rid of the VW soon and replace it with an E46 MSport. Just waiting on the Bimmer owner to trade up!
