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.

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.

Found this old non-working Phillips Brand Compact Disc Player AM/FM Radio and decided to make a video showing what's inside it. They are relatively simple when you tear into them. I just used. small Phillips screwdriver for the most part. This CD player was electric but battery powered as well. This was mostly compiled of circuit boards on the inside held together by small Phillips head screws. The speakers were pulled out, the antenna screwed off, all the wiring could mostly be unplugged from the curcuit board. There wasn't a heck of a lot that could be salvaged from this but it was fun to take apart and see how hard the disassemble would be as well as seeing exactly what's inside.

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.
