How to Build a Rock-Solid Shed Ramp (Riding Mower Approved ✅)

    I’m here because I’m unhappy with my kreg drill block. It works fine for shallow holes, but when I had to drill a 3” hole in a block of wood I was sorely disappointed when the hole wasn’t perpendicular - not even close. I’ll try the CD method, but if that doesn’t work I’m gonna get a proper drill guide. I really don’t want to make space in my shop for a drill press, so a drill guide seems like exactly what I need. Thanks for a great and informative (and efficient) video!

    • @DIYWithAaron
      @DIYWithAaron 8 дней назад

      I haven't used the kreg drill block, but my Milescraft drill block works great. In my opinion, a portable drill guide would be perfect for you if your space constrained but want something a little more robust than a drill block.

    Use a table saw. Make sure your fence is square to the blade. Adjust the blade height to half the blade thicknes.. run a scrap piece across. Use a depth guage to make sure the cut is even throughout....repeat this process with another piece. Join the two pieces together with wood glue making sure the cut is aligned. And now use a bit that is the same thickness as the blade and now you have a perfect 90 pilot hole jig.

      Depends on how weak the car battery is... you may be able to jump a car off a 12 volt lawn tractor battery provided the car battery wasn't too weak. I'd disconnect the donor battery from the lawn mower battery first before trying.

    • @DIYWithAaron

      Not sure what it would fit in but hand tools are always an option. Ideally a T-handle wrench is best, but anything that allows you to grip and rotate the extractor while maintaining firm downward pressure would be fine.

  • @maximusmax4557
    @maximusmax4557 Месяц назад

    Thanks a bunch!! I think I used these bits like once 20 years ago but completely forgot how they worked. Had a stripped screw on a $900 power amp circuit board 😣I was horrified getting that drill near it but I only had to drill it a little bit then used a crescent wrench to do the other part and like you had to go to a bigger size. And when I hear that thing break loose! It was glorious! 🤩

  • @kernowarty
    @kernowarty Месяц назад

    But most other videos on this subject say to use the drill bit in the conventional clockwise direction and then the extractor in reverse. Unless you use the special double ended extractors. Why do you drill counter clockwise?

    • @DIYWithAaron
      @DIYWithAaron Месяц назад

      I actually screwed up and thought I had a reverse drill bit with my set. If you have a reverse drill bit drill in reverse, if you have a regular one drill as normal. It would make more sense to have a reverse drill bit with these extractor sets... but apparently that is not always what you get.

    • @maximusmax4557
      @maximusmax4557 Месяц назад

      You drill counterclockwise for two reasons: 1) So if the bit "grabs," it doesn't drive the broken screw/bolt in deeper and 2) If the bit "grabs," it might turn the broken screw out, eliminating the need for the extractor. I've NEVER had a left-handed bit "grab" and extract a broken fastener. LOL

    SEARS was in business for 132 years. Their down turn started in 2006 after 120 years in business and before that CRAFTMAN was a great tool to have. You don’t have a business for 132 years if you’re shite! I still have a lot of my grandfathers CRAFTMAN tools that still work excellent. I know there are better tools out now with more updated versions but the point is my CRAFTMAN tools have not quit on me. Sears also supported the troops. When a National Guard soldier who worked for Sears was called away he/she still received his pay from Sears. Maybe just stick to your videos.

      Not saying Sears was always bad. I'll trade my any of my more modern-era Craftsman hand tools for vintage Craftsman hand tools every day of the week, especially those of your grandfather's day. However, I still think modern-era Sears quality declined quite a bit from it's apex, even more so after Eddie Lampert took over. Just my opinion.

      I'd probably try to make a jig out of a 2x4 with straight holes spaced as needed for your wood rack to act as a drill block/guide. I'd also anchor the jig to the concrete with tap cons temporarily. That's the only thing I can think of that might keep you honest with a hammer drill.
