Shop somewhere else. It's around $25/gallon at Lowe's. Walmart has quarts for $7.

Hey Rick. Do you have one of those 50# bags of popcorn, like you can get at Sam's Club/Costco? You might need it.

Well, I was going to accuse you of just messing with me, but I went and checked it just to make sure. I only had one kind of wine bottle (a Bordeaux type), and sure enough, it emptied faster with...

Well, I actually watched the video now, and I have to say, at least this guy did something himself and didn't just parrot someone else.

Parrots that haven't actually done anything are a pet peeve...

Oookaaayyy...I finally got around to taking a shot at making my tin pants.

I followed your recipe, kyrat. 16 oz. of mineral spirits, 16 oz. of BLO, and one wax toilet ring; melt wax in a double...

I'm going to do mine this summer, too. Just waiting for the heat to help.

The weird thing is, it isn't really hot here yet. It's usually pretty hot by the end of May (sometimes the beginning). ...
