I knew a contractor who used that as his interview technique for applicants for carpentry jobs.

Gave them the wood and said "Make me a sawhorse".

My first cabinetmaking job I got the same task to build a pair of sawhorses before being hired.

And then there are drywall masters.

There's a TV building "expert" named Mike Holmes who saw a taping crew come in to tape a house. They pull out a bazooka and Holmes says he'd never seen anything like that before. Some expert.

In Holmes defense, he is Canadian.

Yup I used to do the same thing, most who came back got hired.

I think Holmes is a Bob Vila, not a Norm Abrams.

Curious about the garage door opener. And that piece of toast that popped out of your big fancy toaster looks surprisingly like a saw blade.

Door opener works from AI just think open and hey presto.
Toaster is a single slice adjustable rise and fall takes up to a 12” serrated loaf.

Sweet!

But I am intrigued by the garage door opener, it looks like a standard overhead unit cleverly adapted to a roll-up door.

Agree, I hate plastic hangers. Anyway got them on Amazon. Good hangers and very reasonable.

Finished it today. That’s 5 down, one more to go……..

Nicely Done. Where did you get the shelving components. They don’t look the the run of the mill wire shelving from a big box store.

It's a sawhorse. Quit being such a douche.

Sh'up Miller. When I want a comment from you I'll let you know.

Nothing exotic just a old school Merlin roller door opener.

Elfa’s modular system. We chose graphite color with birch trim. We chose it because once installed it’s very flexible in adding/removing/rearranging components according to changing space/storage needs. Also like the open feeling more than cabinetry. Pretty cost effective in comparison as well when you install yourself.

Interesting, I hadn’t seen one of those before. Thanks for the follow up.

He would.

But could we afford him?

Latest version and surprisingly quiet too.

Here's what I installed. Side mounted, turns the jackshaft. Works great.

Wow. I forgot about that. I used to have a box sitting in the shop but probably gave it to a neighbor when we moved. Now I do a quick sweep, followed by the vacuum.

Keep an eye on the want-ads for 2nd-hand Roomba.
