I saw this wreath over on MADE several months back. It was love at first sight. And I don’t know about where you’re from, but in these here Texas parts, we have acorns coming out the wazoo. So I paid my kids to gather acorns. And boy did they come through for me! I could [...]

How to Wean Cattle

post from How to of the Day on 21 March 2011 08:34:01 PM. © How to of the Day

Weaning is the practice of separating calves from their source of milk, a stressful time on both cows and calves, as it is very traumatic in an environmental, psychological, and nutritional sense, especially for the calf. This article highlights the general concepts and steps of how to wean calves from cows and vice versa. The article starts with the traditional method of separating cows from calves and sending the calves away where they cannot hear, see nor smell their dams, to weaning using spiked nose rings.Most calves are weaned between 120 and 290 days (3 to 10 months) after birth, but most producers like to wean their calves when they're around 205 (6 months) of age. Weight is also a factor, with the minimum being generally around 132lb (60kg).[1]

It’s Just Cool: Woodgears.ca

post from Toolmonger: The Week In Tools on 21 March 2011 06:34:18 PM. © Toolmonger: The Week In Tools

At Toolmonger, we try to stick to bringing you new and cool tools, so we don’t share a lot of websites — but sometimes we need to be reminded why we have those tools. When I rediscovered Matthias Wandel’s woodworking site, I thought “Holy crap — this is a guy who knows how to use his tools to build some damn cool stuff.”

This isn’t the first time we’ve featured projects from his website. He’s the guy who built the wooden combination lock and brought you the Eyeballing Game. If you haven’t yet explored his site, you should: It’s chock-full of other amazing Wandel-ful projects.

My favorite project has to be his homemade bandsaw. How many of us would even attempt that? Other noteworthy items are a vehicle with wooden tank treads, a homemade pipe organ, various projects with homemade wooden gears, a wooden air engine, and a marble shooting crossbow. He provides plans for some of his projects, some are free, and for some he charges a modest fee.

Besides projects, Wandel offers woodworking tips and jigs and features other cool projects from readers. I’d highly recommend setting aside some time to look around his site. Every time I check it out, I get excited about going down to my own shop to see what I can create.

Down Under Router Table Dust Port

post from Toolmonger: The Week In Tools on 21 March 2011 06:34:18 PM. © Toolmonger: The Week In Tools

A few weeks ago I posted a neat, yet overly expensive solution for collecting dust from under the router table. It turns out I overlooked a cheaper solution if you have a Rockler or JessEm router plate or lift.

The Rockler Down Under Router Table Dust Port simply twists and locks into the bottom of their new Inter-Loc router plate inserts — no tools required. If you’re not using a lift, it’ll fit through the opening of most router bases.

If you use the dust port, you might have to live with two minor compromises: It somewhat limits the bit height adjustment, and if you have a lift where you can change bits above the table, the dust port needs to be removed before changing bits.

The Down Under Router Table Dust Port will run you $15 and comes with an Inter-Loc insert and 6′ length of hose. Additional inserts compatible with the dust port are $7.

Brimnes bed with Lack shelf as bedside table

post from IKEA Hackers on 21 March 2011 05:35:29 PM. © IKEA Hackers

Materials: Brimnes and Lack shelf

Description: Couldn't find anything I liked for a night table. And I am not a fan of a lot of things around my bed... just a place to charge my phone and let it ring to wake me up.

I chose the Brimnes bed because I have no space in my bedroom. So the place I had left I did not want to give it to a night stand...

And then also budget wise... giving more than 5? for a table so my BlackBerry could sleep tight? Nooo...

I just screwed Lack shelves on either side of my bed... simple but really convenient, cheap and space saving!
