You can find them if you look under the right rocks...

deema I'm pretty sure the world's temperatures were higher then too. None or almost no polar icecaps. It took a few billion years for the earth to lock up the carbon in the rock (limestone & chalk etc), coal, oil and dinosaur farts (NG) to bring the temperatures down to where it is. Mankind...

If you have a short family you could cut a memory foam one. 😉 Pete

The scale I linked wouldn't have to be hung to use. A table or beam with the crossbow at one end and a come along pulling from the other end. The scale between the two measuring the force. Heck you could use a fencepost and the bumper of a car to anchor them to. There are other ways to apply the...

Would the built in errors in the scale also be increased 10 times too? Pete

Would a small crane scale work...

Someday, long in the future, Jacob will pass away as we all do. I feel sorry for him as he will be stuck in limbo. Neither Saint Peter or the Devil will want to spend eternity arguing with him at their respective gates. Pete

Trumpty Dumpty is in disguise. Pete

Maybe go to an auto wrecker and get the hinges off a car hood. I don't know if they would have the full 90º range of motion needed though. Pete

I think these guys have some neat ideas and they sell the hardware to make them too. Bottom of the page in the black space. https://hiddenbedfactory.ca/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlJaLtu-i_gIVDfvjBx0qPAxJEAAYAyAAEgI6BfD_BwE Ditch the existing desk and and make a combination desk / bed and Bob's your...

You post implied that moss is not a problem and can be left. Several people responded to tell you it is. You don't like it when people point out errors in your comments and try to wiggle out from under them with excuses and exceptions. At least that's how I see it. Pete

I bought tires from Bandsaw Tire Warehouse out of Florida. He can custom make tires (that's what I needed) if they are not one of his stocked items. You can get a better price by contacting him through his Facebook page since he doesn't have to pay eBay fees. You should be able to find a closer...

Jacob for what it is worth moss on asphalt shingle and Cedar shingle/shake roofs hold the water and rot them. They need to dry out between rains and can't do that when covered in moss. Pete

Canadaland!!!! 😱 Western Red Cedar if you can find old growth heartwood, most of that goes to Japan. Black Locust would fit the bill but it is rare to find anyone cutting it commercially not to mention uncommon even in urban yards. Maybe some of the fibreglass deck boards would be better for...

Look for "handheld metal detector", "pinpointer metal detector", "Lumber Wizard or Little Wizard". I have the Little Wizard and it will detect paper staples and bigger but being small checking lots of boards takes time. I wish I had the Lumber Wizard...

I used Screw Piles/Helical Piles to hold up my deck that I built. They go down 10 feet to get below the frost line and I have 4 that support the 10' x 12' off the house dropping down to the lower deck that is 14' x 16'. So two hold up the small deck (joist hangers attach the deck to the house...

I'm sorry if I have damaged some of your soul, 😈 however after spending 4 summer months living in hotels and eating the food in the little town's 4 or 5 fast food and restaurant establishments where all the food begins to taste the same, the last thing we wanted was to eat out. Besides the...

I am uneducated in computers and folks I appreciate being defended but I don't take much offence to the post given that he/she/it has been a member for three years and only just risen to comment today. It would have been better if the first post was a contribution to a woodworking related...

Homeless Squirrel I only named Microsoft because they are the biggest, the others could do this too. I'm not suggesting they delete the IP and email addresses. They just go around. I want them to go back to the rat bags actual computer operating system and wipe those. Then the rat bag would have...

You'd think Microsoft could set their operating systems such that when fraudulent activity was reported to them they could shut them down, destroying all the data they have. They can easily follow the trail back to the originators just as easily as they fill our computers with cookies and other...
