    1. What, you don't like bathroom beef?

    2. Hey! It's perfect if you're using "buffalo chips" for fuel...

    3. The real problem there is heat cracking - large ceramics don't deal with temperature extremes well. Build a fire in it, it's going to crack.

      So a pointless stunt, not a practical solution to anything.

  2. Okay, #1 is rather brilliant. He just needs to find the perfect size box fan, duct tape it over the dryer opening, and he's got ghetto dust collection.

  3. #1 I'll also wager that is a circular saw attached to the bottom of the table. I've done that many times. The trigger is locked on hence the pulled plug. Plug it in and she runs, unplug to stop.

  4. And those little Ryobi/Ridgid, etc., tablesaws are $100.....I need my Skilsaw for way more than a tablesaw.

  5. We never run out of the most important natural resource: human ingenuity.

    # 6 Uh no fucking way
    # 7 Just the endless bitching we all know will happen makes it a big NO..

  7. Proud to say I've done some redneck restorations inspired by the things I've seen here in the Working With What You Got posts. Duct tape and vice grips, FTW. You truly provide a valuable public service, Ken.

  9. I had #2 on my old Ranger pickup after the latch failed. Worked just fine.

  10. #8 - Tractor (and larger) tires are often used for water troughs, why not a water fountain? Seems like a great idea.
