You know what you can strike my answer to your post. I got confused. I thought you were meaning a deck of a wooded boat. After reading your reply to my post, I went back an reread your original post, and saw that I did not think correctly when reading it. My apologies.

Yes, do this. About 45 years ago, my grandpa and I kept bees. At first, he melted wax with a double boiler or slow cooker, then strained it. Later, he built a solar melter that let the sun do the work. He would load it with scraps of comb or wax and just let it run. He and my dad would mix a...

Is there any reason why you could not just cover it with a cheap Harbor Freight tarp? You used to be able to pick those up for free during certain times of the year or special deals. These are usually the smaller ones but a couple would work. Or just find a cheap one that fits the whole boat...

The durability of wagon wheels in rocky and wooded terrain is remarkable. Given the constant strain of uneven ground and obstacles, one might expect frequent breakage. Yet these wheels endured conditions that would challenge even modern four-wheel-drive vehicles. Although daily life in the past...

Ammo Seek - 28 ga Steel The best way to search for ammo in Ammo Seek is by using the search filters on the left side. If you are looking for steel, type steel in the “Match these words in search” box. To search for other types (Tungsten, TSS, Bismuth, Hevi), replace “steel” with the word you...

I think it is a Gator Boats Duckhunter which a few people on this site have built.

I haven't used it in a boat setting yet, but I think it could work well for oar locks—likely less prone to splitting compared to wood. However, for other boat applications, it's important to keep in mind that composite dimensional lumber is about 20%–30% heavier than wood. Using it for things...

Feel free to post any other carvings you have done or working on. You do very good work and is nice to see members displaying there finished work or works in progress.

Looks like he might be selling a lot of stuff. If you click on his name in the seller information section it will pull up all his listings.

Yeah I belong there. And that is one of the places where I hear both sides and it is almost 50/50 on their opinions. And they are also the ones that I used to find an aftermarket cooler and how to install it. Thanks.

@don novicki and @Ed L. – Thanks for bringing up the transmission cooler. I have a 2018 Toyota Tundra, which, as you know, doesn’t come with a trans cooler, and that’s been one of my main concerns when it comes to towing and engine temps. I’ve been wondering why Toyota removed it. Was it a...

Here is Missouri:

I guess time will tell, but I’m hopeful I can get it to over 300,000 miles. That said, I believe all vehicles today should be built to last at least 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. Reaching that mileage isn’t uncommon anymore, especially with how people use their vehicles—either for...

I used to own a 2003 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab with an 8-foot bed and the reliable 5.3L Vortec engine. I bought it used in 2004 with just 34,000 miles on it and held onto it for 20 years, putting over 235,000 miles on the odometer. During that time, it saw the usual repairs—fuel filter and...
