I'm a jack of a few trades, you could say. I make woodworking videos for my other main channel, but videos that don't fit there go here. I'll just call this my cooking & DIY channel.

Pole saw chain popped off? It’s easy to put back.
Putting a chain back on a pole saw is super easy.
Don’t be like me. Wear proper PPE.
This video was for demonstration purposes only.
If you do decide to do this job, absolutely the first thing you should do is remove the pole saw extension from the motor before working on it. You don’t want your kid walking up behind you while you are busy and pulling the trigger while your hands are on the blade.

Fix stripped out screw holes in wood
Переглядів 85810 місяців тому
I used a 1/4" dowel for the holes in the video since they were really stripped out bad. If you have a smaller hole to fill or it's not too bad, you can also use toothpicks. You might not even need glue if it's not stripped out extremely bad. Just clip the pointy end off of a toothpick and force it in the hole. Clip it flush, then install a new screw. /////////////////////////////////social link...

I put the spare tire on a friend’s 2019 #volvo #xc90 and ran into some issues. Hopefully this quick video will get you out of a jam. I googled for these issues and had to dig for a while to find answers. There was nothing with direct quick answers. I thought making a quick video would be helpful for someone else in my situation. #volvoxc90 #tirechange #sparetire All I ask is for a thumbs up if ...

I have a woodshop and am in the process of becoming a luthier (I build guitars). So, humidity control is an absolute must for me going forward. I bought this LG puricare dehumidifier based on a recommendation from another professional luthier. Hope it works out. I'll post an update later during the most humid months here in Atlanta. When that video is available, I'll put the link below. #lgpuri...

I had to swap antennas in my mline 4500 garage door opener to the other side because the antenna in one is not functioning. I swapped it, but the remote wouldn‘t work.

Cabinet door lock hack so easy a kid can do it
this is helpful thanks!
This helped me with my Apartment Window today.
Awesome job!!! Helped us out thank you!!!
Yep, confirmed I'm gonna go with these as I seen the how long does it last video you made. Cheers mate!
Answered all my questions, thank you
Thank you! This helped so much ❤
Cheers mate, thanks for this! My balcony door is shorter and narrower than the standard net, so folding it over until it fits it what I'll do!
Using your video, I opened old blind. Thank you.
Thank you Chris. I had same issue and you helped me resolve it. Cheers.
Thank you!
No problem. Glad it was helpful!
Saved my ass, Thank you king
Saved my day 🙏🙏😊😊!!
Don’t the wind keep blowing them open ?
No, I haven’t had any issues at all. The magnet that holds the two panels together work pretty well.
My fan has worked for 2 years straight. You got a dud, should have reached out to them immediately. Whether you fil out warranty cards or not you have a one year warranty from purchase.
We had Brinks for years and after multiple fee changes, wiring issues and the cost to replace the battery we dropped them. Now a group of felons has moved in across the street and the wife doesn't feel safe, All my research says Simple Safe is going to be what we need.
After 15 minutes of struggling and arguing with my boyfriend about how to fix our window, we stumbled across this video… Let me just say: thank you for saving my relationship. 😂😂😂
Nice job 👍🏼
Thanks!
Did what you talked about and it worked!!! Thanks I been waiting on my property manager tech to come for two and half days now to fix this issue I was having. My Family and myself appreciate the video.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.
Thanks so much! I thought I was going to have to hire a handyman but this seems simple.
Lol. I just put one up. They're pretty handy and if it last a couple of summers I'll be happy. I have a few cats though and I'm hoping they learn to go through it instead of climbing it.
Calling to cancel my service appointment and save the $$$ after watching this and finding that little red light. Great video, thanks!!!
Thank you for being thorough.
What did u do the bottom part ?
Thanks a lot for info 🎉
Mine worked
Thanks alot.
Thank you😊
Plus you have it too low
I recommend it. Newer version that’s out now is much improved
Be glad you don't have a cat... 😂
Great. Thanks.
Thank you so much🙏👌🙏
Man, I love this guy. He actually showed me how it wasn’t working for him and it was exactly what I was experiencing. That was exactly what I was looking for. Love it love it thank you for the reality check ha ha you nailed it and screwed it in by the way. 😂🎉
Thank you! I needed to replace the low profile tilt mechanism. Also, thanks for the tip to slide the blinds out of the bracket.
The way all videos should be done
Thank you!!!!
Excellent presentation, thank you. I stayed at a friend's house in Florida and they use these screen doors on their screened lanai. Their small dog tore a hole in the panel and my larger dog finished it off. It's fun to see that you had a similar reason for the tear in your screen. I bought two of these so that I'll have one as a back up. At the price of these screens, it's much more economical than installing a screen door and I appreciated your directions on installing the screens.
Can only confirm this ... all these light based traps catch anything but mosquitos. 100% worthless!
Where to get the thumbtack .
They came included with the one I bought.
Brother you made it super straightforward and easy. Was puzzling trying to read the manual but imma follow your video step by step. Appreciate it!!
No problem. Glad it was helpful!
Mosquitoes are not attracted to UV light so this kills beneficial bugs more than pests.
My wooden silverware draw and junk draw are really hard to pull open is there a way they can open easier, can I shave the wood a little or something? They are from 1958 below the built in cutting board in the kitchen.
Are the drawer slides wooden? If so, take the drawer out and wipe down the wooden slide parts with paste wax. Also wipe any parts that contact the drawer slides inside the cabinet. The wax should make them slide a lot easier. You can get paste wax from Lowes or Home Depot. Or, in a pinch use an old candle you have sitting around.
@@ChrisMcDowellDIY thanks I will try this. I have a chunk of embroidery thread wax but I might get the wax paste from Amazon. I’m a crafter so I should be able to do this and yes the draws are all wood. The owner of the duplex lives right behind me, she can help if needed. I can barely open them this should help and thanks for responding. I’m excited to fix this!
Thanks man! Saved me from looking like an idiot and a big repair bill.
Thanks I forgot about the bolt underneath I just had to tighten it.
Thank you very much
I agree with majority of the comments he gave a way better video than what the company was advertising lol but are these good for blocking out mosquitoes and flies? My screen door has a gap at the bottom I can't even open my door for fresh air without mosquitoes getting in sm
We mainly use it for flies and it has helped a whole lot. There is a small gap at the bottom that a fly or mosquito could by chance walk through, but since they are usually not flying 5mm above the ground at floor level, we haven’t had many problems. For us, having the screen is 95% better than not having a screen.
Thanks for the review. Glad I didn't waste $80 to have the same experience.
Cool man
Thank you! 🤗❤
Short, sweet, and to the point. Great video! Thank you!
