    Fill tires with sand?

    I like Kurt's idea. Two birds with one stone, once and done.

    Slingshot rifle

    The 3-D printed crossbow that shoots steel ammo caught my attention . My oldest grandson has a (dad funded) 3-d printer business that he says is failing. He makes crafty stuff and sells at a booth in the mall but he told me the spools are too expensive to make profit. The blueprint for...

    Slingshot rifle

    No problem here svn , glad to see others take notice. Iv'e been on this kick for a while now and it just keeps getting more fun as I build and learn. I was afraid to shoot steel or glass ammo around the deck garden because of ricochets and windows so I ordered some 3/8 clay ball ammo that...

    Slingshot rifle

    Yup , This kid has his head on straight and his mind in the right place. He has a bunch of vids on YouTube, I'll post one for my next build, a conversion kit so I can shoot both arrows and steel with the same gun. Watch at the end when he shoots the arrows they fly like crap out of...

    Smoked Tomatoes

    I ordered a variety pack of those disposable tinfoil baking pans for like 20 bucks, There were 30 large ones that fit perfect in the smoker. But I realized that 5 hours @ 275 isn't long enough for a big batch. The first ones were 2 each in 2 smaller tins and the skin just dissolved and...

    Smoked Tomatoes

    I didn't even thaw them, threw them in frozen and smoked them with apple wood for about 5 hours @ 275 degrees. I made a beer run and sipping on a red beer , it's pretty darn good.

    Smoked Tomatoes

    We have a bunch of tomatoes in the freezer from last year so I threw a couple in the smoker and was surprised how good they were. I made mini batches of salsa and BBQ sauce out of them. It was good on a small scale so I just threw a bunch more in , anyone else smoked them and what did you...

    Coolest TV characters ever

    Cosmo Kramer had his moments but in the long run I think Festus was the bestest

    Skeeters

    We have a bird feeder and bird houses scattered around the yard and no skeeters.

    Slingshot rifle

    He does, and he has done his homework for building. I'm at 45 yards shooting @ a small bore ram silhouette and can ring it 5 out of 5 with 3/8 steel and a makeshift build without a scope. Moving out a few feet every day. These things are a real deal . .

    One guy told me he used outdated sweet rolls and stuff from bakeries.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The way I get it too . I did it in stages to see what works and what doesn't. I forgot to mention that I put up motion detecting lights on the fence posts and CD disks and orange tape/flags at first but 3 days later they adapted to that. Then the 12 volt coil and I think they felt...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There are a few different designs from a few different University studies but mine is two parallel fences, the outer fence is single wire and inner fence has 2 wires I forget the wire heights but it's all on the internet. The First deer track I see in the garden I'm smearing peanut butter...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Same here and the deer didn't eat the tops off them and they were small enough that the hail didn't club them to death so they might be the best tomato plants we have this year. Update on the 3-D fence experiment. It seems to be doing the trick so far. At first I didn't have a...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The grow bags have been producing cucumbers and salads and the raspberries are just loaded . The few ripe ones so far are sweet and melt in my mouth. Lots of hail and deer damage in the main garden but it's bouncing back, I think we will make it through another winter one way or another.

    Slingshot rifle

    That was neat svn and exactly why I decided these aint toys for little boys. With 3/8 steel would be akin to a 22 rifle disguised as a rubber band toy.

    Slingshot rifle

    A while back someone on here mentioned they were building a LRB slingshot and was wondering how it's working ? At the same time I was building a slingshot rifle and I was going to get my oldest two grandsons building some when they were here but those things are too wicked for 8 and 9 year...

    Grilling mats

    Amazon has them, I pondered on getting a ridged one but went with the sheets instead.

    Grilling mats

    I ordered some for the 4th and used them a lot. They sure work good, I wish I had known about these earlier.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Beans are about the only thing they didn't ruin or eat. If it's not to late I might gamble on beets, peas and radish though. And a row of lesson sunflowers under the wires of my new electric fencer.
