Never thought about using emery boards that’s one I’m going to definitely try today! Thanks
Dang that was a big improvement.
Thanks for the video, Gail. I only use my large spray shelter on rare occasions. Reviewing your "how-to-video" refreshes my memory on how awkward it is to set up alone. But, your order of set up sure makes it easier.
Useless video
NOT MUCH OF A HELP
No explanation of how long in the oven no explanation of things as poor instructions I’m gonna look for another one with better instructions. Thank you but no thank you
Too bad the video defeats its purpose by not showing *where* to lube with 3-1 oil.
I have a similar tool and it works very well,and it's very easy to remove the nails (although time consuming) if they come out with the slats.If they are rusted in and stuck you wreck the slat ends and a real pain to remove from the bearers.Doesn't work very well on euro pallets (I think that's what they're called) the ones with blocks between.
Veery innovative! Thanks.
How did you set up the sewage & electrical. I want to do this for a guest house
Super cute ❤
It looks great!!!
Why did you need 6 8ft-2x4's? I don't think that math is right? Is it?
USELESS video. Does not show you where to put the oil. And another video on this topic said NEVER, EVER use oil, most of these fans are dry shaft fans.
Awesome idea!
qué bonita!
Where can I find your video for using the square box of tissues in the mason jar. I have not yet figured out how to fold them to make it work. Thank you
How did you get the pipe under the shed in the first ace? Our shed is sitting on the ground...
use a jack two if you can or one in middle front
Just Googled & found your page on decoupaging your table with the brown bag technique. I got the basics & another great idea I hadn’t thought of👍Also subscribed to your email ,then hit your link that brought me to subscribe to your channel 🤗Thanks
What kind of pipes did you use
I think they were fence pipes (chain link)
Thanks for sharing this post … I’m just starting to do this and you have some great information!!!
Good luck!
I don’t know why in the world this video is itty bitty, but us senior citizens like myself, cannot see it.
I'm a senior too! :)
31in oil is the best I used it on a box fan I found in the trash it made it run brand new
Cool! Just subscribed but have seen your posts around. I'm moving into more crafts as well as still sewing for decades. Interesting using the sprayer.
Welcome aboard! I like all kinds of DIY, but mostly furniture repurposes.
Glue got in my eye
Love these!! I will make them very soon!!!!
Is your driveway level? I have a slight incline, and I'm thinking this would help and I like that there's a break "just in case."
I've used it in several places, mostly at my daughter's house. Her driveway has a slight grade, and a concrete pad with a higher level. I can do it by myself (65 yrs) but it is easier if my son in law pushes a little on the back of the camper.
This is one of the few bedstead benches that does not look awkward and uncomfortable. I like that the boards of the seat are nearly the same width as the spindle spacing in the back rest. You have lined up the top of the seat with the "unturned" section of the front legs which is visually appealing. The seat does look too low for comfort, but that is my usual assessment since I am very tall. The skirt in front of the seat looks the same width as the bottom board of the backrest which is also harmonious design. Too many benches made from bed frames look structurally sound but very ungainly in appearance. Your bench succeeds in both structure and beauty.
Wow! thank you so much. I've made 45 benches, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to compliment them all. :) I work with what I have.
Thanks! I was looking for a video to help me change an old Jenny Lind crib into a bench. Yours is very helpful. Short and to the point! Love that it is a woman doing the project start to finish, encourages this old lady that I can do cool stuff too!
Glad it was helpful! Yep, from this old lady, kudos to you! Did you make your bench yet?
Gail, I sure wish that I could hear narration in your video!
There is no narration, but you can see more details here: www.myrepurposedlife.com/how-to-build-a-headboard-bench-video/
Gail, I have watched many headboard bench tutorials and I must say, your video really helped me the most!! Thank you from your new subscriber!!
Ya gotta show me how you do it, there’s no proof here.
Better get some coaching from Mr. Miyagi. "Show my paint the fence"
Excellent job
No glue for extra reinforcement 🙁
A rooster and crow just showed up - lol - so cute
would you ladies like a Pomeranian! if so I'll drop her off on your doorstep 😋
Hi can I ask how wide are the woods and how much do u need
You are too cute! I loved your "sign language" instructions! So fun to watch, and a great build, too.
Thanks so much! 😊
What if I need to go up hill?
Nice video.
nice work with great info
Great job
You are so smart and creative!!!
thank you!
Tried your way too and still not working what did you do edit the video not show what u have inside that to make it work right you just put it in like it's not thing and pulling it out without tearing
How much did it cost you to get the pipes and planks? how did you get the shed initially onto the pipes? Did you have to turn this shed (it looks like you rotated it 180º)? How heavy was it to push? While you were able to DIY I don't think I could even though you made it look so easy.
hats off to this lady and gentleman, first and last video i clicked on and covers everything and anything i could ask for moving a big shed across the yard before i pour a slab!
Thank you so much! This will be perfect for my geriatric cat.
I had some concerns about electric mower durability but seemed Gails mower tolerated branches and a few rocks no problem.
Nice job ladies, you got a new subscriber!!!
