Ma shoe lace snapped half way through my shift. Found some scotch packing tape and turned it into lace. Worked better than the actual laces for the rest of the shift

Is this at all possible to turn into a personal hot tub

Post image
201 Upvotes

Found this 170 gallon “heavy duty polypropylene” bin at home depot, and my first thought was “that’d make a great personal hot tub”

I’m not going to ask if that’s a wise idea, because I’m a genius and a revolutionary. All my ideas are great.

That being said, would it be at all possible to rig up a heating system to keep a container like this full of hot water, bonus points if a jet can be made too

Been getting a couple of sketchy folks hitting me up at the gas pump lately. FYI... that's a small Mace canister velcroed to the inside of the gas cap cover. Just in case...

Nominations for Top Redneck Tools?

55 Upvotes

Jokes aside—because OP obviously ranks—what tools do you nominate for the cream of the crop? Half used roll of duct tape or a rusty claw hammer found outside? Angle grinder that intermittently shocks you? Maybe the almighty crowbar?

Made from spare tools and some 1/4-20 hardware I had on hand. Needed a clamp mount for my spotting scope.

Height adjustable. Ratchet wrench for elevation adjustments. Windage is set by adjusting clamp left to right. Pleasantly surprised with how functional it is.

Saw of the table variety, a table-saw if you will

Thumbnail

86 Upvotes

I ran into a situation needing to rip boards to a specific width and I didn't want to buy a tablesaw so I cut and routed (with the circular saw) a spot for it to fit in flush. The table was re-topped with some 2" thick chip-board which was perfect to support the saw. The treadle situation to pull the trigger works really well and the extra board is for weight to let up on the trigger.
