Multi-Tool Growing in Popularity !!

Image
Like many other tools before, this not so new tool already seems to be here to stay !! The multiple possibilities it offers make it convenient, efficient and irreplaceable !! Even though his popularity has exploded in the last few years, the first version of this multi-tasker was invented in 1967 by Fein tools, a world renown company !! At first, the precision of the oscillating action, made this tool very safe for cutting cast off of patient body parts !! Later on they figures many other uses, like sanding, rasping, caulking removal, ... !! Now a lot of other companies have built their own version of the Fein multi-tool, therefore all the brands out there are not built as tough or as versatile !! That's why I've decided to show you some of the brands that I think are totally worth the money you would spend for them !! The primary thing that you should look for is the use you are gonna make out of this tool !! I know that some companies like Ridgid, Milwaukee, Bosch,

Annabelle's Room is Ready !!! Now we just have to Wait !!!

It's always fun to prepare for the arrival of our first child and to decorate the room !! That was exciting for me and my wife to choose all the colors and accessories for Annabelle baby's room !!  I thought I would share some pictures with everyone !!  You never know it could even help some of you getting started decorating their next baby's room !! It's not always easy to know what is gonna look nice until it's get inside the room until it all comes together, but if I had one advice.... don't use too many colors on the walls !! It would look busy, sometimes less is more !! Light fixtures, shelves and frames will complete and add personality to that room !! Hope that you enjoy your next project as much as I did myself !! Again if you have any questions about any aspects of the construction don't hesitate and ask !!

At your Nailer, Set... Go !!

I think that we all wished one day to be able to get to work with the smallest amount of tools as possible !! Well... the future is not quite there yet, but some companies are definitely working on it !! Sometimes,  when you just have to go and do that tiny little job, (trimming around a window, installing a door, or installing 1/4 round in a single room) you wish that you wouldn't have to pull all your compressor, hose and nailer out of the truck !! Well a couple of companies have made this possible !! Dewalt and Black & Decker were pretty much the pioneers in that field, and didn't have much competition until now !! As far as I'm concerned, I think that they still have a really good and reliable product on the market right now, but their design is getting a bit bulky compare to the other brands !! The main compromise, is the fact that all of theses nailers have to generate their own energy to hit the nails through the toughest materials and they also have to ke

This is, as I was saying the in one of my other blogs, the European version of our Ridgid tools !! The only shame is that they only seem to have a 3 years limited warranty !! Other than that they are pretty much identical, they even share the same Samsung lithium ion system !! For more info just visit AEG Cordless - HOME : 'via Blog this'

Things to Know Before Painting or Staining !!

Lately I've been working on some renovation projects that were involving paint and stain and I thought I would give some tips for the people who want to get some professional results !! I will give you guy's a concrete example of how you have to improvise when comes time to fix a little problem that comes along the way !! I had to install some 2" thick corner shelves in my baby's room and they are almost identical to the ones you can buy at IKEA !! Here's the hitch !! They where to go into a 12" wall offset and I couldn't get them to sit square, so I decided to use painted tape to avoid the edges from chipping and cut them on my 12" sliding miter saw !! Everything went well until I hit a staple and a chip the size of my small nail flew off the to edge of the shelve !! To fix the chip I had to first use Dex a pink type of filler that dries white when ready to sand the patch and also to put a small amount of primer on the repair to allow the new
