Show What Tool You Made*

Here's a quick and effective way to wash/peel new potatoes. It's an off-take from videos on Youtube that use a toilet bowl cleaner to do the same thing. Didn't want a toilet bowl cleaner in the kitchen drawer :laughing:


I want to know how you have a garden with no weeds.... that's the real deal... NO WEEDS .... I want a garden like that....

There's weeds around but not that many - the potato patch was real healthy and guess the heavy potato foliage blocked out the sun so weeds didn't have a chance. (I don't use any herbicide or pesticides).

had a lot more than that to do once ... picked up an old washing machine at the side of the road ... took it home , tied the drain hose up to the power cord , filled with water , dropped the taters in , ran for 10 minutes for each batch ...

put it out at the end of the driveway when I was done and the scrap metal guys picked it up ...

I really like that!

Not really a tool per se ... but an accessory for one (or two) - MIG gun holder on the vise stand:

Choker Chain Grab Hook. Push it under the fallen log/tree, hook on to the choker chain, and then pull the choker chain under. A lot easier than pushing the pin end of the choker chain under and then trying to find it to grab it with your finger tips and pull it thru.

Made one of these during some recent down time. Yesterday was my first chance to use it. It works great, now if I just don't spend all the time it saves me trying to find it when I need it...

I built this buzz saw about three years ago. It was constructed from scrap metal. I purchased the gearbox, drive line, bearings, and blade. I then machined the saw arbor from a 1-1/2" steel shaft. The 31" blade spins at 1300 rpm and can produce about 3 cords per hour when staffed with three good workers. I can make a little over a cord per hour when working by myself.
