    1:05 Well that's it, I can't make this! I don't have a pneumatic nailer... I have wood, I have a saw, I have nails, I have a hammer, but darn it, no pneumatic nailer!

    I would buy it if this what I need to make one. It will cost me less money to buy it than make it.

      Sadly, I must agree. I live in Australia where craft/building supplies are pricey. I don't mind putting in the labour, however most quality DIY projects cost a lot more than just buying the item outright.

      It depends on how many you need, I'd think. If you want say, 6 for example, it may be worth doing it this way.

    Customer came in and said the tac-wise nailer he bought yesterday wasn't working
    Me, "Don't worry sir I will check it for you" took it out to the storeroom and it was working fine.
    Next day customer returns saying "it's still not working"
    Once more I take it to the storeroom and it's working fine and the customer takes it home again.
    Next morning he's back "still not working.
    Me, a little puzzled by now so I ask "are you plugging it in"?
    Customer, "Of course I am I'm not stupid"
    Me, "and are you switching in on"
    Customer, after a slight pause........................"it has a switch?

    Why not just make an inner box instead of the particle board and sand (what a pain to keep moving that sand around).

    • @rodneyyoung6499
      @rodneyyoung6499 6 лет назад +6

      my guess is the particle board is easier to disassemble once the concrete has set.
