In my "DIY Forging a Door Pull and Drawer Handle From Old Hardened Steel Tool [Blacksmith Forged Door Pull]" I show how I hand forge some cool textured vintage looking door pulls/handles. I heated up the full length of some old tool steel and bent it around to my desired shape then flatten out the ends for a decorative look. I chose to drill the holes in each side. I coated this one with rustoleum spray paint but immediately regretted it as I should have just done my normal treatment to it with wither WD-40, linseed oil, or some bee's wax. Fun project and thought this was. a great repurposing of some old rusty tool steel that hasn't been used in over 20 years.

In this video I got through the steps on unclogging a bathroom sink. Many times the problem can be a super easy fix that will require you to get your hands dirty. This will save you a couple hundred bucks though. In the case presented in this video I was able to unclog this bathroom sink just using a pair of cheap hemostats. I'll post the link to some below but I must say, they are well worth what you may pay for them as they have many uses and I've used them to unclog numerous sinks over the years along with many other uses on various jobs.

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.

Ordered my Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen home brew kit from amazon. I'll post the link below This turned out really nice and was super easy to make. The kit comes with a nice set of directions. I used my Cooper's DIY Beer fermenter once the boiling and cooling processes were done.
The steps are super simple simple:
1. In your brewpot, bring 2.5 gallons filtered water to a boil
2. Add half of the wheat malt syrup (approx. half of 6lb. container)
3. Remove from heat and stir it in
4. You now have wort. Bring it to a boil again
5. Add the 1oz of German Tettnang hops and boil for 60 minutes
6. Add the remainder of the 3lbs of wheat malt syrup and add the 1lb of dry malt extract
7. Cool the wort.
8. Once cool, (siphon) add wort to fermenter leaving sludge at bottom
9. Fill remainder of fermenter (to 5 gallon mark) with water
10. Pitch yeast and add to wort once temp is 78F or lower (not warm to touch)
11. Let sit in fermenter for 2 weeks then bottle using priming sugar or carbonation drops
This job started when I got notified about water on the floor. It would get cleaned up with a towel but show back up again. It would get worse after every flush of the toiled. I checked for the quick and easy stuff first. The toilet wasn't continually running, meaning, the float inside was good. I checked really good around the water supply valve, it's associated hose, and it's connection to the toilet. All of this was bone dry. This meant one thing, Toilet was leaking around the base. This meant I had to perform the following steps to pull the toilet and replace the wax ring:
Step 1: Turn off the water to the toilet
Step 2: Flush remaining water in the bowl
Step 3: Disconnect water supply hose
Step 4: Remove the two caps over securing nuts on toilet base

This worked like a charm for me to get my printer back printing. I was one step away from taking it apart and somehow cleaning the ink receptacle by hand. I probably would have ruined it by doing so and been forced to toss the whole thing. Really glad this worked. The very first thing I tried was to make sure there was enough in the receptacles. It was obvious there was as it hasn't printed since I filled them myself. Just to go through the steps I did a visual check anyway and I could see through the front of the receptacle that there was enough ink (it was almost full). Then I pulled out the Epson L3110 user's guide/owner's manual and followed the recommended steps there which included holding the button with the triangular shaped design in it down for 5 seconds until the power button blinked. This had it run through a cycle of print head cleaning. Once into the printer preferences queue and maintenance (as mentioned above) I tried the nozzle cleaning function, then the head cleaning function and both of these didn't work. I'd never heard of doing a power cleaning before so I was losing hope and had visions of tossing this one into the recycle and having to purchase a new one. Luckily I tried the "Power Cleaning" cycle and it worked!!. It is hard to say if the fact that it worked was a combination of all of the cycles that I ran the printer through or if I could have just gone to the power cleaning cycle. Regardless, it doesn't matter because it works now. What I suspect was the problem was that the ink dried and hardened in the oriface in which it comes out thereby not letting any of the liquid ink pass by. Just a guess. It also could have been the fact that the printer was brand new and there was something from the manufacturing process that was blocking it.

The batteries on this model of doorbell can be located by gently prying out the upper top little panel section. It's a small battery drawer-like slide piece that comes out. I used a flathead screwdriver. You can see that there is a test button on the front of the doorbell. As can be heard in the video, when the button is pushed before the battery change out, there is a barely audible sound. Once the batteries are changed out it is obvious that the doorbell is functioning as it should when the test button is depressed again.
This project was a lot of fun. We took some rubbing alcohol and soaked a toilet paper roll after putting it inside a coffee can. Instant source of heat for warmth, light, and cooking.
