Easy DIY mousetrap is very effective
Просмотров 1995 лет назад
I show how I built a simple mousetrap with a bucket, dowel and scrap wood. The trap I make in the video is for a friend and they caught their mouse on the first night. This type of trap can be very effective to catch multiple mice. Fill the bucket 1/2 full with water to catch dead mice, or leave it dry to catch live mice. Thanks for watching! -instructodad

Cleaning a toilet is generally pretty easy, but for built up stubborn stains/mineral deposits, pumice is your friend. Probably the most exciting video ever where I clean a toilet...maybe the only video ever.

No more videos?
Pumice sticks, and they do have them on a stick, don't work at all. They just break apart and clean nothing.
Thank you so much! I just made a double sensory bin table for my toddler using this tutorial and it turned out very nice. I don't think I would have felt confident enough to do it without your video.
I hope they enjoy it! I appreciate hearing that you were able to make one too, that’s awesome! My kids have outgrown it as a water table, so now it’s been modified to be a planter, and we are still using it many years later,
That is a very nice little bracelet and looks quite simple,to make… I have hole punches so no need to use the drill… but I commend you on your creative thinking! When I first saw the drill I thought, "oh boy… drilling holes in leather will make it twist up around the drill bit." Then you show the wood blocks and I was like, "ok now he's cooking with gas!" :) I think I will try to make one of these out of some scrap leather I have….not sure I have a piece long enough to do exactly how you made it, but I bet I have enough to make two separate strips though! :)
"It’s a mess, but it works!" ….. I like you very much already… lol
I just got a Smokey Joe this week. I've seen a lot of.videos and I'd like to try this someday. How long will it burn on one filling?
Got some of the same pumice stone and thought they would last forever. These, however, are much softer than some white stone I had. Did get the ring out if I chopped downward.

Instructodad, you must have been in the military or a government employee at some time. You can turn a 30 second instruction video into a 4 minute instruction video with 90% unneccessary blathering to fill in space. The military can jam pack 4 hours of training into a week long seminar and by the time the class you forget what it was all about.
Where do you get the "chicken" prop holder thingy that allows you to put more in the smoker?
If you look online or in stores, it's called a 'rib rack'. Most stores that sell BBQ grills (at least in the states) will have them. I probably got mine at Walmart or Lowes. I had to cut it to size to fit my smaller smoker.
LOVE IT!! I am going to make one! I make leather wrist cuffs and have so many different styles of clasps, chicago screws, snaps, small buckles, etc... This is so cute, I have endless ideas! You could even make it as a watch band...... 🤔.... 💭........Hmmm ? And even more........ Thank you so much!
Your welcome and happy making!
What stain color do you use?
I believe I used Minwax’s 2176 Dark Walnut for the stain.
Most helpful video I've seen. I'm wondering what he means when he says he adds 'fresh wood' before putting on the Mesquite. Does he mean more lump wood. I think that's it. Thanks anyway mucker!
“Fresh” is probably the wrong word 😄 even the mesquite is dried (not fresh). As you noted, I added lump charcoal to increase the burn time and also some mesquite to increase the flavor.
@@instructodad Thanks so much. We're in rainy Belfast, Northern Ireland and we've just bought a wee kettle smoker to try out. We've lump wood, briquettes, Weber applewood and beef smoking blend. We're gonna try a full chicken. So do you recommend briquettes with a few applewood bits?
Give it a go and see what you think :) be careful with chicken- it needs to heat up quickly so as not to grow bacteria. The general guideline is to get the chicken temp up over 60 degrees Celsius as quick as possible- if you don’t get an internal chicken temp there in a couple hours, maybe move it to the oven to finish. You’ll have good smoke flavor after a couple hours anyways. A temperature of about 105 degrees Celsius would probably be a good temp to try and hold in your smoker. “Low and slow” for smoking but not too low for chicken! :)
What brand of tub did you use?
It was a 52 quart Hefty storage tote. “Hefty” is the brand. I found mine at Lowe’s, a home improvement store.
Are those 2x4s you are using for the braces?
I used scrap wood from a shipping crate, so it’s possible it was a 2x4 in a previous life- in my build it is about .75inches by 2 inches in cross-sectional dimension
Great video!! No talking just show, like it...
Thank you and thanks for the feedback - a lot of my videos are voice overs, this was a bit of an experiment so it’s nice to hear someone liked it.
What screws did you used ?
Phillips head :) Glue is my primary holding mechanism and screws are the clamps. I used drywall screws and some longer construction screws where needed. My recommendation would be to look for construction grade or better screws- I’m making that switch myself on future builds.
4:37 clang!
Quality stuff lad.
Thanks!
Hi. Is really Beautiful can you do it slowly and explaining it please? Thank you so much

I did this today and toilet is like new!!!! And to think I was going to replace it next week!!!
Saving time and money with a simple fix feels great!
Nice build. 👍
Thank you!
Chicken looks great! Did you marinate it? Got a little smoky Joe for searing. Think i'll do the convert as well.
The great thing is the smoky Joe is untouched and functions as normal when you want it too. I used a rub- no marinade.
Awesome idea man 👍👍👍 how is the temp control on that thing?
On a summer day with little wind it can hold a temp like 225 F for 2-3 hours. Hotter temps burns the fuel faster, but you can still maintain a fairly even temp before needing to remove ash or add fuel to the fire. The biggest problem is when there is wind (especially on cold days) it’s hard to keep the temp steady and it requires more constant attention adjusting airflow. I have seen others make insulating blanket wraps and wind breaks that would eliminate those problems.
Lump charcoal burns pretty hot and fast, great for grilling, not so much for smoking. Briquettes are usually better suited for a smoker.
I believe if you restrict the oxygen, you can reduce the speed of the burn. I prefer lump charcoal because there are no extra chemicals or binders- just wood.
Fantastic tutorial.
Thank you!
@@instructodad good job!!
Good video
My grandpa has been using this method for years at our cabin. During the off-season he will put antifreeze instead of water as it kills the mice quicker and it helps prevent a fowl odor. Great video!
The brand Pumie is like what he used. Except it's on a plastic handle.
How do you remove the accumulated pumice “sand” that sets in the toilet tank after multiple cleanings? I have been using pumice stones for years due to stains from sitting well water (even though I have a whole house water filter system), and have yet to figure out a good way to remove the sediment. Thanks in advance for any recommendations! Jill
If you can get the hose to the sediment, a 'shop-vac' type vacuum which is rated for water and debris may work.
Is there a problem with pumice sand? I had a toilet with a mound of rust sediment in it and it worked fine.
That was AWESOME. Best video tutorial I’ve seen for making this bracelet. Thanks Instructodad!!
OK, DON'T SCRATCH PORCELAIN! (Just Like the Dentist will seal your teeth's "Enamel" after a cleaning) The Gloss and Glaze are completely gone and your basically sanding clean the sealed porcelain. (My tub and toilet are from 1976) The Luster won't come back, But the stains will shortly after cleaning. unfortunately you and I need new porcelain.😧
you are right
There is an easier way to make this, litterly less than half the time
Great idea!
You are the MAN!
I got pumice on a stick from amazon. Lol it worked just as well without the gag reflex.
Pumice on a stick is a brilliant idea!
I got a leather hole punch for 5$ with a 50% off coupon at Michaels.
A leather punch or power punch would be awesome for those holes if you have them in your toolbox. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
You are very welcome! Do you have any brand/model recommendations for a punch?
You can get one just like this at Michael's with a coupon. It's awesome. I use it for punching holes in leather, metal, wood, whatever. And lots of hole sizes to choose from. You'll use it for everything! www.amazon.com/PLR-137-00-Euro-Power-Punch-Plier/dp/B003Y8R38W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515997845&sr=8-1&keywords=Eurotool+power+punch
Thank you!
Good video. Thanks! How do you secure your hitch?
Hi Tamara, the hitch I used actually came in two parts: the hitch part you see when you wear it and then what looks like a short bolt that screws in the bottom of the hitch. The leather gets sandwiched between the two pieces. If you watch at about 5:30, I'm putting the bolt portion of the hitch in and then screw the hitch on to secure the leather loop. Hopefully that helps! If you look close on my website you can see the bolt end of the hitch in the materials pic instructodad.wordpress.com/2016/08/01/leather-bracelet-brass-ring-and-hitch/
instructodad, Thanks for the clarification. I didn't see the part where you attached it to the leather. Great video!
Mmm mmm mmmmmm!
