Making a wooden sign
Просмотров 40Год назад
The hardest part of the elaborate, decorative wooden signs is the symmetrical shape. The way that we create the symmetry is by using a form that we can move across the wooden blank. I will show you how. If you don't have a router, you can trace the shape onto the wood with a pencil and then cut it with a jigsaw or coping saw and then sand it down to shape.

Hack for applying oil to dry butcher block
Просмотров 395Год назад
If you are consistent with your reapplication and if you are applying oil to small objects then this may not help. But if you have butcher block counter tops and they have been neglected, you might find this method of applying the mineral oil helpful. Make sure that you are using mineral oil that is intended to come in contact with food so that you know it is safe for you and your family.
A short video of putting down a faux stone epoxy countertop

It is surprisingly easy to get a good looking countertop. I tried two different methods. First one is often called an exotic pour or dirty pour to look more like granite and the second is adding streaks or veins like marble.

How to ensure you have a flat surface

This is a common problem in drywall installation or wall repair. You have filled the hole and sanded the joint compound, but is it really flat or will you see blemishes when you paint it? The solution is to make the surface one uniform color so that you can see the shadows from the raised edges.

    I live in FL and am about to repair some drywall in one area of the house from some storm damage. I'm considering repairing the drywall and then instead of going through the pain of trying to paint match (old popcorn ceiling), just doing ceiling tiles like these. My concern is that if/when we get another hurricane and the drywall gets water damage, these ceiling tiles will conceal the damage and I will not be aware that I need to do a repair. Do you have any experience with identifying water damage behind these types of tiles, or if water damage will be noticeable?

    • @HomeImproveman
      @HomeImproveman 4 часа назад

      Your concern is reasonable. I don't think you would be able to notice water damage with these tiles is place and it would be difficult to test for damage as well. Unless you have a way to view the ceiling from above, I would probably skip the tiles.

    if I can ask a question, just moved to a home where there is a ceiling paint peeling, i want to instead of repainting it do this ceiling install, want to check if its okay to sand down where the peeling is happening and then glue this on top of it. There is some moisture or humidity where we live in Hartford, Ct

    • @HomeImproveman
      @HomeImproveman Месяц назад

      The best method is to have a completely clean surface. Barring that, scrap away any peeling paint and apply a heavy-duty primer like Killz. Be sure not to skimp on the the adhesive caulk. If I were you, I would apply more liberally than I did in the video so that if one spot fails, there is plenty of spots still adhering. You don't need to cover the tile, but place more dots of adhesive around the tile. Good luck.

    @TheMaxAwesome 3 месяца назад

    Sometimes it is not the igniter. Best thing to do when troubleshooting is swap out all the parts one by one to identify the root cause. In the case of a range, you have the igniter, which is a pain to swap, the base that channels the gas, and the plate that covers the base. These last two are easy to swap with any other burner that is the same size. In a recent case, I found that my igniter and plate were fine, but the base was either worn down or warped, and therefore not channeling gas the right way. Replacing the igniter would have been a huge waste of time and money!

      I just swapped out an igniter for a client on his Fisher Paykel that the cleaning lady broke. This happened a long time ago so the thing wasn't used. Everything was fairly greasy so there was some cleaning involved. Anyway, the thing wouldn't light even though I could clearly see the spark and could smell the gas. I used a bbq lighter to test for gas dispersal and everything looked fine.... There was a gasket that separated the burner base from the entire top cover and it was badly damaged so I have him getting one of those in case it's a leak causing the issue and will try again. If I remember, I'll come back to share the result and/or possibly a solution.

    The flange should be high enough so the horn on the bottom of the toilet can fit INSIDE the flange. Otherwise you're relying on the wax to seal the water and its really only to seal gases. Remember horn INSIDE of flange. Not even, not close, not above, INSIDE. Make it so with wouldn't leak even if you didn't have a wax ring.

    Thank you for this excellent video. Your oven range design is nearly identical to mine. I am glad you showed that the burners have to be removed to raise the top by removing the two screws in the base of the burner. My front left burner that is used mostly will not ignite the gas unless another burner is sparking. Unfortunately, the head of 1 of the 2 screws in that burner had sheared off, making it impossible for me to remove, especially because the top of the shaft is below the surface. If you have any suggestion on how to remove the headless screw it would be soooo much appreciated. The anealed/hardened shaft of these screws is so small that it's very hard to drill into it. Your help in how to remove this headless screw shaft will be very much appreciated. Thank you

      That will work, just be sure to turn on one of the heating elements to give the gas that is stuck in the line an opportunity to escape.

    • @HomeImproveman
      @HomeImproveman 7 месяцев назад

      over time, the igniters wear down, just like a spark plug. If you have ever put in a spark plug, you may have set the gap and those gaps must be accurate to 100ths of an inch. Being slightly off will impact the quality of the spark. You may still have spark but it is not strong enough to ignite the gas. The new igniters tips were noticeably larger than the ones I removed so I would guess that the spark was weaker. I am not expert and this is my own guess.

If you look at the flange, you'll see a beveled shoulder, that's what the horn is supposed to go into, as close as possible. If more people realized this, they sure wouldn't want the gaps that a lot of them have.

      No, but to be safe it is a good idea. If it is difficult to access the gas shutoff, you can leave it on, but be very careful of moving the control knobs while doing the work. In fact, if you must leave the gas on, put tape over the gas knobs so that they do not move while you are working.

      You are correct, I should have mentioned turning off the gas. But, you need to keep it plugged in so that you can see the ignitor attempting to spark. While replacing the components, you could unplug the unit, but the only time there is electricity going to the ignitors is when you have the knob turned to 'light' and the voltage is quite low.

      Yes, you can simply lay the wood on top of the supports. It is not necessary to secure the shelf unless you feel there could be a lot of movement. Most shelves in this situation are not secured, the weight of the items on the shelf keep it in place.
