I wonder if the swivel fitting used has an equivalent for water. Most discarded garden hose reels leak from the swivel fitting as the entire thing is made from plastic in cheaper reels. I salvage these and repair and use them if possible, e.g. a snapped off hose couple end replaced with a joint, etc.

Very nice design! But, how did you know that the cylinder was copper under the insulation and is it a routinely discarded/recycled object or one of a kind find?

The first picture should be removed. Clearly bait and switch! I would just go to the last step and embed a piece of dirt in epoxy and call it a diamond. Saves a lot of time.

How about using the assembled trailer to bring the plywood home? A few C clamps would hold it to the frame while being transported. Bring the 2 x 4 at the same time, too.

Will the metal surrounding the phone shield it from receiveing a phone call and ring?

"Next let's take the whole peeled tomatoes from the other can and squeeze each tomato getting all the juices out, then break up the whole tomato in your hand as well." Is this really necessary if you are using a blender or processor? Why use whole tomatoes and not just 2 cans of chopped tomatoes?

All you need to do is cover it in matching leatherette material. I wish someone would make a digital back available for 6x6cm or even 35mm cameras to put TLR cameras like Rolleiflex and Yashica back in service.

I grew up in India and kerosene was universally used as a bike chain (and other parts and even automobile engines) cleaner there on the millions of 1 speed roadster bikes used there.I read recently that a dedicated toilet brush makes a great gear cluster cleaning brush with its long bristles and may be used to replace or supplement the toothbrush here. I have used paint thinner or mineral spirits as they were around, in place of kerosene and wonder if the Coleman camp fuel has less odor than kerosene and could be used or not. Diesel is a good idea too as it is plentiful and cheap. I hate to pay $8-10 for a quart for mineral spirits, etc.

If there is a Walmart near you, a gallon is under $1.

Wish it was vegan!

Now I know why custom choppers cost so much.

Freedompop deactivates the account if unused for a few months. So, I suggest to schedule your calendar to make test phone calls/SMS etc to keep the account active. They also have a $2.49/M voicemail service and they will probably will not deactivate the free account if you subscribe to the service and don't use the phone. Freedompop is also flaky if you have to make a call using real cellular signal. It may or may not work depending on the location or its whim at the moment.

50 years ago, I had hand sewn a heavy cotton canvas bag and made it waterproof by applying a solution of paraffin wax in gasoline or kerocene (I don't remember).

I find a U Lock keeper bracket more useful than this. Most U locks don't come with one.

As a chemist who needed to frequently cut rubber water supply tubing in the lab, I used to carry a single edge razor blade in my wallet as a wallet knife.

May be you are still paying too much for Ting. I pay $0 for 200 min/500 txt and 500+MB data per month to FreedomPop, only downside is that the phone service does not work every where.

Is the bottle cutter made from drawer slides or is it available like that?Also, wonder why you choose to do the finer sanding by hand instead of using a drill or some other mechanized method, or possibly make your own finer sanding drums for the dremel.
