It's not duper heavy duty keep a separate degreaser around for tasks like cleaning the range top. We clean the kitchen counters every night so it's good having a medium strength, from-concentrate product.

    I got an effect like that on a growth chart board by doing the carving, painting, and the planing off the paint.

    I think a pigment-based stain would be a good choice because those don't penetrate very much.

    Last year I made the little table for my older kids' bedroom for arts and crafts. I just made two little benches/stools for the table. Everything is cherry with basic mortise and tenon joinery. I shaped the legs with a hardboard template and a flush trim bit on the router table.

     

    I have my old kitchen pantry in the shop for general storage. It's 24" wide and 24" deep which made reaching for things in the back of the shelf a real hassle. Not to mention making it hard to see back there.

    So I made three pull out shelves where three fixed shelves were. 1/2" sides with a 1/4" bottom panel. I didn't have any thin plywood so I actually glued up the three panels from scrap - this was a great way to use up those "shorts" you can't bear to discard!

    We have an 18" kettle grill (254 in^2) that my family of 5 has finally outgrown. We don't need anything huge, I think 50% more cooking area would suffice. Our needs:

    • We mostly do quick-cooking stuff like burgers/brats
    • Less often we do chicken thighs
    • We use charcoal
    • I'd like to try cooking ribs
    • We're not interested in smoking

    My best guess as to a good fit for us is the Char Griller Wrangler (435 in^2). It's bigger than our 18" kettle but not too big. I don't want to have to use a ton of fuel each time we grill, I assume that would be true for a larger model. I also want something with a warming rack and this little guy seems to be a good balance of price/quality.

    Are my assumptions correct here? I've only ever used kettle grills. Char-Griller has fancier models with fire access doors but I don't really think I'd need to futz with the fire that much, even if doing ribs. I figure that with the simpler model I could just remove the grate over the coals in order to be able to add more as needed.

    Thanks all!
