Given that we pack an arsenal of tools for our work, we frequently are asked to weigh in on tool decisions for friends and family. In the spirit of the holidays, we want to present a gift of our “top ten tool picks” for the DIY’er or handyman/ woman on your list. Ahh, yes.. if we had the money we would buy all the tools we can get our hands on! Since we can’t, here are a few essentials that won’t break the bank. [ . . . ]

When you're putting together a basic woodworking starter kit, you can get by with a much more modest collection of tools. Beginners only need the equipment needed to complete basic tasks and feel out whether they want to continue developing their woodworking skills.

Review: Black & Decker’s Grasshog :: Jeremy Parcels – a Gas Guy Goes Electric (on his WeedWacker)
3October 8, 2011
Today, many people have solar-powered something. Hybrid vehicles and other types of alternative energy are popping up every day, so why couldn’t an electric line trimmer be just as good and in a small way help lower our dependency on gas?

It's not that it is such a bad door -- in fact, it's solid; the luan-skinned 1 3/4 inch flush door has done its job for many years.
It's just that some dumb-dumb (me) left the glass in that self-storing storm door down . . . maybe something like a year ago . . . and it never went back up. A nice stain added now to the door's original blahness. Still, nothing a little paint can't handle, though, right?
But wait! Wouldn't it be fun if we could do, well . . . something more? What? And enter . . . "Ka-Chow!" the Amazing Door-o-Vision by Crestview Doors. [ . . . ]
