The Way I See It

The work never ends when it comes to shop clean up. This is a video I shot a few years ago but never wanted to let anyone know just how bad I allowed my shop to get. But we all procrastinate so I thought I would pull back the curtain and show you all. I have no idea how I got it all done while working everyday. Now that I am retired it seems like the days just fly by before I know it. But being retired means I don't have to rush and who am I trying to impress anyway.

How to apply a decal Video tips for home decor. Sometimes for reasons unknown the vinyl does not want to lift up with the transfer paper. This video will show a tip on how to get it to lift just about every time.

Sandblasting Plastic Laminate name plates. I was asked about engraved nameplates, so I put together this tutorial for sandblasting one. Most customer that want an engraved name plate don't really care how you do it, they just want an engraved look and feel. Now not everyone can have a CNC router or a engraving machine, but most any sign shop can add a small blasting booth and do them inhouse and save.

I'm proud to be blue collar because we get things DONE! This is Just a short video explaining who I am and why I feel the need for this channel. Retirement has benefits beyond not having to get up at 4:30am every morning. It means I no I am sure many of you may not always agree with my thoughts, but that is OK because they are after all my thoughts. But after almost 70 years on this planet I believe I have learned a thing or two or in other words I'm old and I know stuff! So buckle up because it is going to be a rough ride at times. Now first let me say I am NOT good at this, in fact I am pretty bad. But in all things you start out bad and with work you get better as you go. I have given myself permission to suck at this while I learn to get better. That is our first lesson, you must give yourself permission to suck at something new before you can start to improve at it! Then you must continue on until you get better and then finally master the craft. I have spent most of my life working as a carpenter/cabinetmaker. I am always amazed when someone want to become a craftsman in his first week on the job! life just does not work that way. You always have to suck before you get better, always! So the best thing to do is jump in and get started by giving yourself permission to be bad at it until you improve. I know it can be hard to "put yourself out there" but just own it and work at getting better as the days go by. Trust me they fly by way too fast so don't forget to enjoy them because they are what life is made of. So check back and see how I'm doing from day to day and let me know in the comments what you think. But remember to just be kind, you can say anything you want in life if you just keep it kind.

I have long said anytime a democrat accuses a republican of anything you can bet they are already doing it! History backs me up on this all the time! So today when I read about Hillary Clinton, The Queen of TDS is making accusations that President Trump "What Trump wants is to KILL his opposition" https://dcenquirer.com/very-scary-hil... I would invite you to go read it for yourself! But also think about what has been called "the Clinton death list" here https://lidblog.com/47-strange-deaths... Now a funny thing happens if you try to see part 1 or part 2, you can't! They have been scrubbed from the internet. Sounds like somebody had to make them disappear? But read it for yourself and ask any old guy that remembers when the Clintons came to Washington and how people around them started to drop like flies.

I saw an interesting question today asking if politicians should lose healthcare and retirement salary after their terms are over. I think they should perhaps get one year for both and then they get NOTHING! It's a temp job and they are suppose to be our public servants! Public service was never meant to be a life long career for anyone to serve 20 or 30 years. No it is just a temp job. Congress should be given the same healthcare that American citizens have. You can bet that if they did America would have the best healthcare in the world!

Did you hear about this? Here we talk about how Hillary Clinton says she knows what President Trump really wants to do. She says he want to Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, and run off reporters. Well I seem to remember that is just what old Joey O'biden has been doing. the Democrats has imprisoned their opposition. They have Killed a peaceful protester Ashli Babbitt. But the reporters don't run away from democrats because they ARE the right propaganda arm of the democratic party now. But only a day after Hillary said these things the other shoe dropped. Now the democrats want to remove the secret service protection from a past President, President Trump. Are they trying to make it easier to kill President Trump? They are so worried that President Trump is unbeatable in November and he is! But they have no one to blame but themselves for this. They have taken off their masks and now show their evil intent to anyone that thinks for themselves and opposes them in any way, just shut up and go along is what they demand! Well sparky, that just ain't gonna happen. Too many have seen the democratic party for what they truly are and will never vote for them again. THIS is why they are trying to flood the border with people from outside our country because no thinking American will vote for them. But we all need to contact our congressman or congresswoman to let them know that if they allow the democrats to take away President Trump's protection away, then all former Presidents MUST have theirs removed as well!

Amazon customer service is at an all time low in customer satisfaction according to the Better Business Bureau on Google. Amazon customers have had ENOUGH! We are tired of all the problems we have and a customer service dept. that act like WE are the problem. They try to turn things around to make any problem our fault and not theirs. Amazon runs their software, customers do not. But they will try to blame you for what their software does. Really all customers want is for someone to fix problems created by Amazon and show a little respect for your customers, not really that much to ask for when we are handing over our hard earned money!

Jack Smith wrote to the court to inform them and admit that some of the evidence has been manipulated by his office! How can America believe one word of his "evidence" now? We have no real way of knowing how deep this deception goes. How are we to sort out what is real and what they "manipulated" evidence? We CAN'T so the whole thing needs to be thrown out and Jack Smith need to be charged with evidence tampering! Ask yourself this, if it were you or I would the justice department. even think twice about locking us up? No not one minute would they wait! We would be in jail so fast we would not know what hit us. So the same laws apply to us have to be applied to Jack Smith! The only thing that can be done here is Jack Smith must go to jail along with everyone else that was involved in the manipulation of evidence!

I did not want to spend $5,000.00 for a new overhead shop door. I found a $50.00 used door and rebuilt it for my opening. Here I cover where I found it to how I rebuilt a cedar door to fit my opening. This is not really a step by step but more of an outline of this project and how it turned out. I would really recommend the new Yankee workshop for all the details you would need to do this project. Many people today are tight on Money and this is but one example of a great way to save lots of MONEY!
