Window Quilt blinds made in Vermont. I bought these years ago, they are insulated quilted blinds that roll up and down in a track and seal all the way around. Thay make a big difference in keeping the heat in and the cold our, or vice versa, bottom line is they work!

This is a 1,000-gallon tank I buried years ago and I recently opened it up to see how it looked closed up for so long. The lid and stainless-steel bolts came off easily and I found a small puddle of water resting on the bottom but no mold anywhere. Anyone have any Ideas as to what to put in this tank.

Using toe warmers in mylar bags to absorb oxygen. These are extra thick 4.5 mil bags with a zipper closure to be used after cutting open the sealed bag. An iron set to medium does a good job of sealing the opening.

I added a digital readout to my surface grinder for more precision down adjustment and a light fixture to better to see with.

Aluminum can be cut with a circular saw and a carbide blade, and it does a really nice job. This is the mounting arrangement for the VFD on

the shaper project. The communication will be through a remote panel mounted on a pedestal on top out front for the operator to access.

The metal shaper project is moving along ever so slowly doing a little bit every day. I added a dust/drip tray under the motor protecting the VFD (variable frequency drive) from liquids and metal particles.

Wow, there is absolutely no

or very little traffic on this forum, in light of the world situation it appears that Americans feel isolated from these events, but we are not. In time, Americans will experience what, the rest of the world's experiences, but we will have it much better off.

Parsnips, a cold weather crop looks something like a white carrot. I have never tried this before but I'm going to try to grow these over the winter or at least see if they survive till spring.
