New APEX PRO Steelseries World's Fastest Gaming Keyboard! Unboxing, Xbox...



New APEX PRO Steelseries World's Fastest Gaming Keyboard! Unboxing, Xbox Connection & Fortnite demo. Here's the official description. SteelSeries Apex Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Adjustable Actuation Switches – World’s Fastest Mechanical Keyboard – OLED Smart Display – RGB Backlit



Here's the link to order one: https://amzn.to/2BkddjL



Omni point adjustable switches allow for customization of actuation distance.

OLED smart display offers an integrated command center for adjusting settings and tracking on the fly info straight from your game.

According to description this is aircraft grade aluminum alloy built for a lifetime of durability and stability. I don't necessarily buy the "lifetime" statement but whatever. It's a good marketing word for the company

The description also claims RGB illumination unmatched customization with 16.8 million colors per key which I have no idea what this means but it sure does sound like it's doing something good.

I do agree that the premium magnetic wrist rest provides full palm support and comfortable, ergonomic feel without a doubt.

DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tut...



No need to try to shut the door behind you while you have your arms full anymore. Watch this DIY Self Closing Door Hinge Installation and Operation Instructional Tutorial and put one in yourself. It's easy. I'll post a link to some below. Simply remove the middle existing hinge on the door (leaving the upper and lower one in place) and install the self closing door hinge in it's place. It's easiest if you use a cordless drill for the hinge fasteners but not mandatory. You could do this with a regular handheld manual screwdriver. You will need the correct size Allen (hex head) wrench for the internal set screw to set the tension on the hinge. Some of the hinges will come with the correct size Allen wrench to use. You tighten the Allen screw inside the hinge to set the tension of the hinge on desired self-closing strength. You can always adjust it later if you find you don't like your settings.



Here is a set of them on amazon: https://amzn.to/2TTARK5

How to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain in Singapore | No P-trap Under Sink



The Singapore under sink plumbing set up is different than what I've seen in the states for the most part. This set up is pretty nice in many ways but also seems to clog up more frequently than most of the standard US p-traps I'm used to dealing with. This is really nice in the sense that when it does clog up you just put your water catch basin under the sink and unscrew the receptacle, dump it out, and screw it back on. Really a great set up if you ask me. The problem I saw was that it leaked no matter how tight I tightened it by hand once it was full of food waste debris.



Here's some good plumbing/unclogging tools to have:

DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch | Outdoor Long Burning Log Round



In my DIY How to Create a Swedish Fire Torch | Outdoor Long Burning Log Round" video I show you how to quickly and easily make a fire log project. I'm reposting this video after having found it in my archives. I had deleted it from an earlier youtube endeavor a few years back. The idea of a Swedish torch itself was not mine, however, after watching some videos on it back in the day I figured I'd make my own version using my trusty Stihl chainsaw. These are a lot of fun to make and burn for a solid couple of hours + depending on what kind of wood you are burning. This was just a round of fir but I could only imagine how much burning time you would get out of a round of a hardwood like oak or even madrone (I call them madrona).  You can use a chainsaw but you could also use a bucksaw or handsaw to make one. You could do this camping or if you are able to, in your back yard.

DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Pa...



I made this video "DIY Welding Project: How to Weld an Ornamental Iron Folding Easel for Painting or Picture Display" for fun for my daughter's painting display. You can really make some cool decorative easels using different pieces of decorative metal. These are fun to make. I've made and sold many of them in the past. This one was just a basic model and wanted to keep it simple. Easy welding project and they last forever. Easy to fold up and store when not in use as well.
