Can u tie a BULL HITCH?

“Double” cow hitch knot
I think on research this know is called the bull hitch. It is like the cow hitch only it has two bights.
Funny story, I had to restore a windchime (which is what the wood rings are from). I had to recreate the knot using fishing line. But to learn the knot so I could recreate it, I had to make it on paracord.
Please don’t blame me if my info is wrong (about the knot). I’m definitely not a ropes guy. I basically know like 5 knots that everyone else also knows. I only got this down by studying the existing knot and making some experiments.

SWALLOWTAIL caterpillar MUNCHES away

Black Swallowtail caterpillar
These caterpillars literally took over the parsley plant in the garden.
They look pretty much just like monarch caterpillars but most likely are a black swallowtail butterfly (I mean, that’s what they turn into xd )
These guys just kept on eating! After about a day they went from active and eating to full and fat 😄. And slow. I pretty muck had two caterpillars to film.

TOW MATER | made from plywood

Maple Tow Mater model
Iconic Tow Mater brought to life with Maple plywood using a simple template I made.
Have you wondered what it takes to build a model vehicle? Here it is!
This tow truck is about 1/15 scale. It took about a week to build (that’s a little everyday). In the end it’s a pretty easy build

NEW handle for SPATULA

Spatula handle
Our old bamboo spatula handle was starting to split, so, using some maple, i woodturn a new one
It went pretty quick. In the end I’d spend more time getting the tapered end better, but ya know.
I’d probably also use a different method for sealing the wood. Maybe something like boiling it in oil.

RESTORATION: rotten piece of wood

Rotten wood restoration
Ever wondered just how much salvageable wood is hidden inside a piece of rotten wood you pulled out of the ground? Well here it is!
My brother put me up to this when we were pulling some pallets out of the ground. But I had decided to do this eventually anyway.
Since I have limited tools and no experience with stains it seems a bit unfinished, but I hope you enjoyed anyway.
Wire brushing wood is always satisfying. And you can always sand it when you’re done.

Iconic Tow Mater from PLYWOOD

Plywood tow mater
"Hey guys! I actually BUILD a project in this video. Want to buy it??? Search “MadeByHand727” on Etsy
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1364017693/wooden-plywood-tow-mater-tow-truck
Last time I built this same toy I used 2x6 slabs for the layers. So I figured I’d try something new and use plywood! I was pleased with the result. Also it was much less time consuming. Beware though, plywood SPLINTERS a lot! On small pieces be sure to scribe the pencil line with a sharp knife; you’ll thank me later.
The axels were made of 3/16” threaded rod. Be sure to GRIND the ends because the cut remains sharp. Also make sure to use LOCK NUTS on the end. Take note on how I ground a groove in the end for a screwdriver to go in. This way when twisting the opposite nut on, this one doesn’t tighten. This would happen if you used a socket on both sides.
For the tow hook, I molded it out of OVEN BAKE CLAY. You can buy this at Walmart with a brand like “Sculpy”.

Sandwich on a restored frying pan LODGE
If you go to my channel, I have a video on this same pan being restored; as the beginning indicates
This is just a classic ham & cheese sandwich which my dad and I made. It was a little difficult filming the whole thing and didn’t turn out ideally. (I’m used to filming myself, but don’t tell anybody)

This is a simple walkthrough of how I made my channel name with the cubes I own. No I’m not sponsored so I don’t have 50 3x3s I can use (:(
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY PLAYLISTS!!!
In case you didn’t read it, it spells MAX HOTDOG 🌭 just like my channel name but it can also give you inspiration on how to make names from all sizes of cubes.
Hope you enjoyed and learned something

Monarch Hatching
This is not only a video of a Monarch Butterfly hatching, it is also the first time we’ve ever gotten a butterfly hatching on camera.
From the time we saw the chrysalis, it was about two weeks until the day it hatched. The entire hatching process took about 2 hours

Rusty DEADLOCKED pliers

Pliers RESTORATION
since I don’t have a sand blaster, it didn’t turn out the best. Also my welding skills are pretty minimal. I’ve welded about twice in my life and my welds never hold…
Someday, I’ll have a good welding set-up and I’ll finish this restoration, but you might have to wait a while.
Apparently, the rust was stronger than the metal. Surprisingly, I was able to restore a pliers just like this a while ago and it turned out very nice. I thought the metal would hold.
If you liked this, check out my “DIY” playlist for more like this! I have a toolbox, a set of chairs, a barstool, and more.
