Vintage Iron City Brand Sledge Hammer Refurb
Took this old "Iron City" sledge hammer rock buster head and carved the end of an old axe handle out that had been sitting on the wall for years and made it work. It took quite a bit of hand working the wood down and fitting the metal shim up to make it work but finally got a good solid fit. Fun project and the result was a useful tool to add to the collection. Was nice to see it all come back to life.

DIY Wet Saw for Cutting Glass and Ceramic Tile
These wet tile saws are the way to go. Once I started using one I never wanted to go back. They are pretty easy to use as well and also very clean. This tool is money well spent as it makes your life a hell of a lot easier when it comes to doing tile jobs. This video demo is on a specific brand however I have used many different kinds of wet tile saws (many of which were borrowed from friends) and loved all of them, especially after cutting tiles manually.

Mikasa Historical War Memorial Ship in Yokosuka Japan
This tour was 600 yen to take and well worth it. It's a great activity and can easily take a couple hours especially if you stop and read much of the posted literature at many of the stations. It's like walking into a history book. They have done a very nice job of keeping this old Japanese warship up. Recommend taking this tour if in the area, you won't regret it.
