The 2nd Best Joinery Method That Can Do It All!

woodworking No Comments »

I’ve been on a quest to find an alternative loose tenon joinery option I can recommend to my viewers who don’t want to spend the money on a Festool Domino. The Dowelmax Classic 3/8 is the closest thing I can find that can do everything the Festool Domino can do plus more!

Most people will want the “Dowelmax Classic 3/8 Only”

Here’s a playlist I’ve made on my journey to find a good loose tenon joinery system:

Hiring a Contractor for Home Renovation? 5 Red Flags to WATCH OUT for!

home improvement No Comments »

Are you considering hiring a contractor for home reonovation? Here’s how you are gonna save MONEY, HEADACHE and Disaster!

So prior to being the DULY ELECTED SHERIFF OF THE INTERNET I was a construction worker. I worked on houses remodeling kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces and outdoor grill areas. I specialized in the installation of granite, quartz and recycled glass countertops. For 6 years I was in and out of hundreds of homes. I eventually moved into sales and doing estimates and worked my way through nearly every position the small business I worked for had to offer.

All these years later I am incredibly thankful for the lessons I learned working this manual labor job. In this particular case what to WATCH OUT FOR when dealing with contractors or sub contractors. It’s pretty easy for me to spot a shady company but if you aren’t quite as practiced at it HERE are the 5 RED FLAGS that should make you run the other way in terror if you encounter them!

If you want to reach out to me and message me directly follow me on Instagram and slide in these DM’s

Out of respect to our channel sponsors and the wide variety of people who watch our videos, we will remove comments that do not follow common standards of politeness and decency.

When trimming a door to fit, 6mm can be removed from each edge of the door to a maximum reduction of 12mm in both the height and width. Any reduction must be removed evenly from each edge of the door, e.g. to trim your door by 8mm in width, remove 4mm off each side. Three hinges should be used to hang doors, particularly on glazed, heavyweight and fire doors or where large differences in temperature or humidity may occur, such as bathrooms.

Latches and locks should not be fitted adjacent to door mid-rails where the joint may be compromised. All hardware screw holes should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting of the timber. Paint ‘N’ Peel (glass protection film) should not be removed until painting or staining has been completed. Some glass styles are smooth on one side and obscure on the other: Please check that the obscure glazed faces of multiple doors are orientated in the same direction, e.g. if installing 2 glazed doors side by side.

Fire doors have individual fitting guidelines and the installer must refer to the Global Assessment Report referenced on the front of the fire door label.

Bi-Fold doors are supplied with a track and folding hardware and should not be trimmed. Rebated Door Pairs are supplied with separate instructions for fitting/trimming.

Bare timber doors will require a light sanding prior to finishing. Take care when finishing glazed doors to ensure that the finish does not go on the glass. Secondary protection such as masking tape may be necessary, including on Paint ‘N’ Peel protected doors.

All timber surfaces should be fully finished. When applying the finish pay particular attention to sealing the timber end grain on the tops and bottoms of the doors: ensure that all lock, latch and hinge cut-outs are also fully treated.

Refer to the finish manufacturer’s instructions for number of coats to be applied. Failure to treat all the timber surfaces may lead to excessive changes in moisture content which will cause the timber to shrink or swell, possibly causing splits and distortion.

White Moulded and White Primed doors require a top coat after fitting. They are only suitable for painting. All edges and cut outs should be treated before final fitting. Factory finished doors will require any bare timber areas caused by trimming and hardware fitting, to be adequately treated before final fitting.

How I Calculate Repair Estimates | My Tried And Tested Formula

How I calculate repair estimates may look very different from how others do their calculation. Although I have some numbers that I hang on to for how much repairs are going to cost, I still prefer to look at the market and from there determine what percentage of ARV I need to buy at if the repairs are cosmetic and if they are full gut and I stick to those ratios.

Making an Overhaul Mod for Factorio (Devlog 1)

My Discord: https://discord.gg/w4h9faggTG
Watch me on Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/galdoc
My main Mathematics channel, The Taylor Series: https://www.youtube.com/thetaylorseries

Update: Alpha is out! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/galdocs-manufacturing

This is my first devlog about me working on an Overhaul mod for Factorio. Come join me. It’ll be interesting.

I a math, programming and maker ed teacher who also sometimes plays games, and now designs them in his brief hobby-time each day. This means my devlog should have a lot of information for people to glean if they want to get involved in modding too, so if you’ve always had a big idea, hopefully you’ll get something out of this.

Making an overhaul mod is a HUGE ask, and now that I’m some ways in, I don’t know what the future holds. I am now realizing just how much of an ask this is. Still, even knowing this for a future modder is useful.

Thank you to everyone who helped me so far. There’s a LOT of you and I am deeply appreciative of the time and effort you spent in answering my numerous questions. 🙂
