Wood

from stud work to joists. You can nail down sub-flooring and even build trusses. You can fasten sheathing, nail decking, construct fences, and more. With a framing nail gun you can do all the rough wood work and more on just about any residential building. It's a very important part of constructing a wood structure. There are many different framing nailers on the market, from popular brands like Hitachi, Senco, Max, Bostitch, Paslode, Porter Cable, and Dewalt. How are you going to choose the…

A toothpick is a tool used in everyday life that ordinarily after its use, is immediately thrown away. In Albert H. Baird’s patent description on his own composition of a toothpick, he states his design’s “...cost of manufacture is so low that [the] improved tooth pick can be economically thrown away after being used but once (Baird, 1910).” Although he associates this idea with his own design, it’s a commonality of the current view of toothpicks. Before the last toothpick factory in Maine…

center of her attractive face. She was a small creature, barely 5.4 in height and stature. Simply clad in a leather travel outfit, she hurried through the rain, as the sky continued to darken. She shivered at the thought of spending the night in these woods. Not that it was really a problem for her, but there were stories about these forests. They were old, and it was that magical time of year, when summer was passing and fall approaching. As she hiked through the ancient woodlands, she…

encountered. “Right at the river, left, straight,” I murmured to myself, looking down at the path of transparent blue rocks that my sister and I had laid down earlier this summer. We figured that if we ever couldn’t find our way back through the woods to our house, then we could follow the colorful stones that we stole from our other sister’s fish tank. But, the sun was seemingly tired and getting ready for night time, so the blue began to blend in with the dirty pebbles around them.…

Carpentry is a skilled trade work which primarily includes the cutting, shaping and installation of building materials required for the construction of buildings, ships, timber bridges, concrete formwork, etc. Carpenters traditionally worked with natural wood and did rougher work such as framing, yet today we see many other materials being used and sometimes finer trades of cabinetmaking and furniture building being considered as carpentry. Most common injuries: Back - 21% Fingers/Hands - 15% …

trees grow at their own pace. The forest has no plans for the future; therefore, instead of stressing and worrying each tree just grows and learns along the way. A vast amount of thick, gnarled roots peak out from beneath the dark forest soil. Each wood fiber encounters no obstacles while extending from the base of the tree trunk. Every root seems to create a rough wooden pathway from the tree. The roots represent an easygoing personality because their strength allows them to grow easily. If…

The late Arnold Palmer, a four time masters champion, to name a few, once said, “Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.” This quote is the very anthem of my feeble golf career. It may look easy when pros like Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus perform at the highest major championships, but when you actually set your hands on the clubs, your entire point of view on the sport changes in an instant. Such letdowns like this one are abundant for amateurs like me, but this one was different…

you are. Look the tent did not rise like you said it would,” The Crow said mockingly. “You cannot expect me to do everything. All we have to do is find another tent, but that's next to impossible out in the woods” said the sad…

The emergence of Kickstarter has changed the environment for Start-ups. People can have an idea, whether it be a film, a product, a book, etc. and post it on the site and people can fund this project. In the curated section called, “Greek dads”, I found two projects. The first one is called the “Fidget cube”, and the second project is called “Superb Wooden Marble Run”. I will be explaining these in the following paragraphs. First let 's start with the Superb Wooden Marble Run. This is there…
