How to change smoke alarm batteries-Three different styles
Three different styles of smoke alarms and how to change the batteries on them. Smoke alarms will beep if they are getting low on batteries. If you suspect they are out or low, just replace the battery. Check them often and have more than one in a each area in case one happens not to work. It's a good idea to check these once every few months. You can test them by pressing the button on the front of the smoke alarm. If it doesn't make a loud beep when you push it, then the battery is dead or the smoke alarm is bad and should be replaced immediately. It's a good idea to have a smoke alarm in each room. There is no reason not to as they are very affordable and they are proven to save lives.

How to: Milwakee Sawzall Blade Change out for Dummies
A reciprocating saw is a wonderful tool and I've used them for thousands of handyman DIY construction and repair tasks over the years. This is a must-have for the power tool collection. Even though to many, it may be blatantly obvious how to change out a blade, it may not be to others or beginners. The first thing, like any other power tool blade or wheel change out operation, unplug the damn thing. I've seen a lot of injuries and almost got a few myself for being stupid or careless and not taking the simple step of unplugging the tool before changing out the blade, wheel, or bit. Once unplugged, you'll need an Allen wrench that fits the Allen head set screw in the reciprocating head. Typically these come with one but many of us lose these things. Loosen the set screw and the blade will come out. Many new models of reciprocating saws have quick disconnect style fittings on them so no wrench may be necessary depending on the model you have. Grab your fresh blade and place it back into the same position and insert it into the slot. Then tighten the Allen head set screw. You are now good to go.
If you don't have one or need a new one, here is a link on amazon to have one delivered: https://amzn.to/34AejAA

DIY STIHL Axe Handle Replacement Tutorial Demonstration
Although I shouldn't be, I was amazed that this the farm and garden place I purchased this Still axe from made good on their free axe handle replacement promise. I chose to replace it myself as they're service department had quite the backlog of equipment repairs and couldn't get to it for a week or so. I had wood that needed splitting so didn't want to wait. I brought the broken handle to them and they immediately grabbed a replacement from the back and handed it to me. Minimal questions asked.
The new one I put one here is a even more hefty than the one previously on it. I will say, this is the best axe I've ever owned and was a great present given to me.

50+ Welding Projects
One of the things I like about welding is it results in creation. I've made everything from metal pet beds to headache racks to horseshoe napkin holders. These are just some of the projects I've made and took pictures of. Welding is a lot of fun and using the wire feed process with inner shield wire, it's so easy.
