I was a kid that sat around with all the adults in the room and listened. I heard all their stories about the trip to the Bahamas in the 60’s and others. I loved to listen. Podcasts are like a gift from the heavens for me now. To be able to selectively sit in a room with interesting people and hear discussions from around the world is amazing. We live in an extraordinary time… Cheers! #grownostr

It’s Friday! Any projects planned for the weekend? #asknostr #grownostr #diy

A good pneumatic cutoff wheel makes quick work of cutting off stripped bolts. It is a must have in your toolkit. #proofofwork #grownostr #diy #metalworking

When I was first exposed to the machine shop setting , the language used to communicate measurements was confusing... What is a tenth? or a half a thou? Learn about this machinist language in my latest video! 👇

One of the most underrated and useful ladders is a 2 foot step ladder. I use it for everything. Painting, construction, drywall. It is easy to move as you are working and well worth the money spent. #grownostr #construction #diy

I used to think these types of things were gimmicks on tools… Until I needed a square to draw a 90 degree line and I saw it printed on the saw. Any port in a storm! #tools #grownostr

What is a skill that you would like to learn? I’ll go first, welding… Because my welds look like chicken poop… What would you like? Drop it down below! 👇 #asknostr #grownostr #diy

My new shop is almost complete! It has been several years in the making. I am looking forward to using it to help teach others valuable shop skills so they can go out and make great things! Here is my latest video on the unique features that have been built into it. Cheers! #grownostr #diy #woodworking #metalworking

Put a knot in it! No really, when you are working with corded power tools and you pull the cord and it becomes unplugged. That’s frustrating! Now, when you plug it back, put the plugs in a knot (like the picture) that will keep those plugs from becoming unplugged… When your at the top of a ladder! Cheers! #grownostr #diy

Quality is not how perfect your work can be when you give it out. Quality is how flawed something can be and you still call it your work. #quotes #grownostr #coffeechain #quality

Don’t foam insulate your exterior door installations, you will regret it later. I know the foam can they sell is fun to play with, just don’t inject it between you door jam and wall framing. It will glue your door in place! See, you may need to adjust that door in the future and the foam will not allow the movement you need. Use batt insulation instead. Install with a putty knife loosely in the space between the jam and framing and you will have the flexibility later to adjust. Cheers! #building #diy #grownostr #woodworking

Do you have a project you want to accomplish? However, you haven't started because all details are not fully planned out. Most projects are a journey that needs to be started in order for details to fully show themselves. Each step helps you solve the next problem. Embrace the journey, both good and bad; and let go of the prison of over planning and perfectionism. Get building! Cheers! #grownostr #diy #nostr #woodworking #metalworking

There is something special when you get to the sheetrock stage of a construction project. The space that you imagine has up to that point only been a construct in your mind. When the true walls go up, your imagination becomes reality. Cheers! #grownostr #diy
