DIY Chicken Egg Laying Bin Station built from Re-purposed Pallet Wood



From my scrap pile of extra pallets I need to make a DIY Chicken Egg  Laying Bin Station built  from Re-purposed Pallet Wood. My chickens are now laying eggs to they need they're own area in which to be comfortable, relax, and do some laying. I broke down a few pallets and I removed all of the nails with my pry bar and hammer. I was able to reuse a few of the nails. It's always fun to use the brad nailer so I secured everything with it. Once the nails were removed I lined up the now new raw materials (pallet slats) and then nailed down a couple end pieces to secure them all together and then one across the middle. This piece will act as the bottom. I did the same thing for the back piece. Just made an "L" shape with the wood then also nailed some side on it and then a front piece as well. The chickens were a little standoffish at first but once I put some bedding in there they took to it really nicely and played some eggs.

How to Weld a. Horseshoe Wine Rack from Old Horseshoes



The first thing I did was get them all cleaned up removing the tacks and rust from each one of them. Then I lined them up in the triangular shape that I wanted them in. I kept the it flat on the bench while I tack welded each one using my Lincoln Pro MIG 140 welding machine using inner shield wire.

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.
