Hi guys! My name is Sara and I am a DIY enthusiast with a passion for DIY, woodworking and home improvement. I love tackling (and sharing) projects that I undertake with the help of my best bud (THE rusty dog himself...Murphy). From the ultimate practical projects to the more creative ones, I've always got something going on in the workshop to keep me busy. Over the years I've sort of become the type of person who isn't afraid to try something on my own, albeit some things I have vowed to not try again! This has allowed me to learn so much through experience and hopefully I can share some of that insight with people interested in doing things for the first time as well. Follow along on my journey as I create, build, repair, improve and hopefully inspire others to do the same!

Sharpie remover : lacquer thinner on a rag - no scrubbing. Sharpie is a lacquer pen.
Appreciate the tip! 😊
No link to the product :(
Oh shoot! I’ll make sure to fix that soon.
Here is the product link in case you still needed it: amzn.to/4eQUQRA
Why did you choose 34 degrees Fahrenheit? Also, what's the recommended upper limit? (How high should you allow the temp to go before the unit kicks on)?
I like for the beer to be nice and cold! Haha so that’s close to freezing temperature but not too close. I would say the highest temp you would want to go for setting the temperature would be 40 degrees Fahrenheit. 34-40 degrees is kind of the recommended zone but ultimately its up to each individual and how cold they like to serve beer. In my experience…the colder the beer the less issues with foam. Not sure if there is something to that but that’s just the experience I’ve had. Hope that helps!
Not bad. But replace the deck boards on top of the rails with 2x6’s for a more sturdy rail and these tops will last longer than deck boards used.
He is so adorable. I'm glad you invested in him.❤
I agree! ☺️
Enjoyed the video! The deck looks great. I'm sure they'll get a ton of enjoyment out of it!!!
Thanks so much! ☺️
Why are you saying “we” you didn’t do anything
How about buying a bigger paddling pool for the dog? Duh!?!?
He has a much bigger pool at my house but this was a job we were doing at someone else’s house.
The temps are so high EVERYWHERE that I'm surprised that he's even out there with that coat 😮😮😮😮😮
Luckily this was a couple weeks ago when temperatures were not as high as they are now. Otherwise he would probably want to stay inside in the AC haha.
He needed moisturizing.
Gotta soak em to keep rusty!
😂
Nak MA AND OF AND AND OF OF
I would have noticed. Btw always butt your treated deck boards.
Great lists, thanks for the video! You're about the 3rd person I've seen this week using that countersink bit. Time for me to get it 😊
Haha it’s a sign! I’ve really enjoyed mine. Use it all the time.
You need a string line
Oh no that stinks.
God gave you eyeballs to eyeball it, fuck em measurements, cut twice
Weezer? Keezer?
Check your local building codes, bolts are typically a lot closer together for ledgers you have stud spacing. I'm not saying you're wrong here, every municipality has different rules for what you can to. Always better safe than sorry, 16 inches is too far for me even tho those bolts are almost 30$ a piece
Thanks for the tip! We were building off an existing deck on a recently built home so I just matched the spacing that they had on the ledger board on the existing deck. I assumed that would have met the building code for that area. But you’re right…it’s always a good idea to check first and make sure!
Looks like a sweet tabletop though 👌🏻 worth the mess
Thanks! It did turn out nice despite the mess along the way. ☺️
Ha, you decked him :) looks good. Fun project for the whole family to join in 😅
Thanks! 😊
Good video.. .I'm replacing concrete stairs with wood . In researching, I've seen in warmer parts of the country you can do concrete pad to rest stairs stringers on . However in colder areas you'll need footings below frost line.
Another awesome video
Thanks! I almost gave you a shoutout for my awesome gloves I wore basically the whole video. 😂 Love them for projects like this!
That’s neat! Beautiful work!
Thank you! 😊
Nice work, I especially appreciate creators who share oopsies too. Please fix your flag though. Stars are always top left.
Thanks! I didn’t know about the flag issue until some other people commented the same thing. No worries though…I have already fixed the issue. 😊
Oh no! That's really bad luck. Not sure whether to like this short now 🤔. Hope the next iteration will last longer. 🤞
Isn’t it though? Haha that’s okay. These things happen. The next one should be even better! 😊
I' M going to make it too. 😊😊
Beautiful, thanks for sharing your knowledge , God bless you
Thank you! 😊
Great video! What was the chisel too you used for the edges?
Hmm I’m not sure exactly what you mean by chisels? Are you referring to the router bits I used? If so, I used a flush trim router bit to get everything flush then I used a chamfer router bit to slightly chamfer the edges. If this isn’t what you referring to then just let me know the timestamp in the video in regards to your question and I’ll try to give a better explanation. 😊
I partly wanted to cry .. it was that short lived .. dang. Hope you guys rebuildit.
That’s the plan! 😊
The most important question I have: how do you attach the bracket to the stringer? Do you only nail the sides, or do you nail into the bottom of the stringer? (How do you fit your hammer in there?)
I use Simpson Strong Tie SD connector screws and I screw them into the tabs on the sides of the bracket as well as a few on the back. Sometimes it can be a snug fit.
Go Hokies!
Hahaha... he don't have one to sit in because he's gotta build it him self
😂
I love that you share your parents with us. It is obvious there is much love there. I was thinking that there was maybe 36 pieces per bench. You and your parents did a fabulous job. Looking forward to your next build.
Thanks Fran! ☺️
Comment for those wondering about the galvanised hardware: I tested some differently treated hardware for an oak bench I was building last year. Oak + iron + weather is generally bad, but apart from the one untreated screw (which rusted within a day), everything was fine. So I'm fairly sure your hardware will be good. Looks like a fun build, together with your folks.
Great info about the hardware. Thanks!
That was a lot of individual pieces. My guess is 48 per glider, 96 total. Am I close? Higher/Lower?
⬆️
It looks amazing. The mortis tool was interesting.
Thanks Paul! 😊
Great information. I am about to laminate my outfeed/assembly table right now and I wanted to make sure I am on the right track. Your video popped up as first and it was very informative and helpful. Thank you!
I appreciate the kind words! 😊 I’m glad you found the video helpful. I have definitely enjoyed having laminate on my work surface. Very easy to clean up glue/epoxy drips. Best of luck!
Que medida tiene el clapper ❤un saludo ❤
What about the floor vent
I added an air vent to the front of the window bench instead to divert the air out that way.
Very pretty!
Table saw would have been ideal, I think…
I think you’re right! I plan on making a crosscut sled soon so that should help if I ever attempt another cutting board like this.
I've been woodworking for less than two years and just stumbled onto your channel while looking for instructins on how to fill knot holes-so I watched that one and several others. Your presentations are so honest and user friendly-I can actually relate. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the positive feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed watching some of my videos and found them relatable as well. As a hobbyist KZreadr that means a lot since I try my best to share relatable content from my personal experiences woodworking. Thanks so much for watching and the kind words! 😊
Extremely informative, thank you, I recently started using Epodex deep pour epoxy on some live edge tables and have had good luck with it. I agree with you, the most important thing is to find the correct tape and apply plenty of it because I did have some that leaked and it was a huge mess. What is the process you use to polish the epoxy to make it shine after you sand it?
Thank you for the kind words! I’ll be honest I haven’t spent a lot of time polishing epoxy like some people do. Most of the epoxy I’ve used in the past I tint black in color and I just apply a hard wax oil after sanding and buff it by hand until it’s a sheen that I’m happy with. I’ve seen people use powered buffers/polishers and apply additional coatings but I’ve not personally experimented with any of that before.
@@rustydogandco Your welcome..😀
Got Mamma Kay helping again. Just love her.
very nice
this was fun. you guys are funny. didn't know you could bid on Amazon returns. next time use gloves when opening.
Awesome work!
Thank you! 😊
@michaelkline4800 0 seconds ago How much contact cement did you end up using? Don't want to buy too much OR not enough. Thanks!
I bought the 32 fl. Oz. option for my project. I don’t think I used quite all of it but the smaller size definitely wouldn’t have been enough. So I would recommend the 32 fl oz option unless you have a ton of laminate to install.
@@rustydogandco Thanks!
You are absolutely beautiful.
I love you 😘
