    Framing Hammer old vs new- mini rant

    Plumb in fiberglass, and Vaughn in wood are my choices. Several years back, grandson spent the better part of a summer helping build a hand-cap ramp for church next door. Most nailing was done with a nail gun. That fall at school in Ag-Mechanics course, instructor said they were going to...

    48 inch bar clamps - $15 (Washington NC) GONE

    Because I have pipe cutting and threading tools, I cut my own to length. Don't use pipe couplings, use ridgid conduit couplings instead. They don't have tapered threads, so they screw on by hand easily.

    So much total GARBAGE

    Soffit vents will always draft back into attic. In working years replaced several which had drafted back into attic, causing plywood to ROT on that truss / rafter bay. Moisture went up to peak before spreading out.

    Stuck Table Saw Blade

    OP says arbor turns with nut, so holding blade doesn't work. As for whacking wrench, that's Newton's third law at work.
