Hi Everyone! I thought this would be a fun episode! Came across one of these at work the other days and it brought back tons of memories! If you have never had your own marshmallow gun , well, you have not quite lived yet! Here is how to make one! Parts List (for this [...] Hi Everyone, This is a post I have been meaning to make for some time. It seems like whenever I got around to it I would put it off because there was something else I wanted to add before filming. How silly. I reality this is a new craft for many of us, and you [...] Hi Everyone! My Fresnel lens give away is officially over, so please watch your e-mail in the next few days. I received 30 new sign-ups, so a third of you will be getting a Fresnel lens of your own! I’m starting to get convinced that there are folks really interested in old and new skills [...] Hi Everyone!

Sure you could start a fire or burn a hole in a piece of paper with those, [...] Hi Everyone! In this video I show you how to easily start a fire using a firesteel. I posted a video a few days ago on how to make a simple but very effective firestarter out of cotton balls and petroleum jelly, and that is what I use here. The firesteel I use in the [...] Hi everyone! Today I am showing you a short video of my solar backup system. I got interested in this concept because it was a way to dabble with solar energy that I could afford. The system is small but useful. I have already used it in a few power outages and was able [...] |
