Silicone Glue application tools must be gaining in popularity. Rockler first started out with their basic Silicone Glue Brush early in the year, then just a few months ago they developed a full Silicone Glue Application kit; but the New Silicone Mini Glue Brush is what I was waiting for.
I don’t figure Mr. Bond, James Bond as much of a do-it-yourselfer, but I am guessing that if he was, he would feel the most comfortable using a powered driver like the WORX SD SemiAutomatic Driver. As you might have read in my article about it, or as you will soon see, it has a lot in common with the “tools“ of his trade.

Lowe’s is in a giving mood this Veterans day, offering some nice discounts on even more power tools and some accessories. It looks like these deals will expire tomorrow so you better act while you can. Don’t forget about the Lowe’s Black Friday and Christmas Days sales we posted last week.
Thanks Vets for our Freedom and for giving retailers a reason to have sales.
As you know, I am building a 72-hour kit using the Bosch Click & Go system. If you plan on building a kit of your own, these links might come in handy for you.
Having an ample supply of water is probably the most important part of a 72-hour kit, but calculating how much water you need can be challenging. This water calculator from The Ready Store takes into account the number of people, number of days, and a number of other factors to give you an estimate of the amount of water you will need. The Ready Store also sells food and other supplies to help you prepare for a disaster
There are different types of food you can use for long term storage, what I like about the food from Wise Company is that the food can be prepared directly in the packaging, which could cut down on the cooking tools you might need. They also advertise their food as being of a high quality, and if you saw my video on the food I have, you might have seen that the beef was actually beef flavor. I think I might give Wise Company a try next time.
I have always looked at the Festool MFT (Multi-Function Table) as great little work table, but not practical for jobsite use. I just never liked the idea of having to carry it around on the jobsite along with all of my other tools. But Timothy Wilmots' modified MFTC (Multi-Function Tool Cart) looks like an ideal way to transport both the MFT and your tools.
We have seen circular saws used as table saw replacements with the Eurekazone tracksaw system, and now there is a new system from PUPS (Portable Universal Power Station) that can turn a circular saw to an accurate miter saw.
A few weeks ago I posted on Facebook about my super simple method for growing hydroponic tomatoes with no electricity; and though this is not tool related, enough people seemed interested about it that I figured I would write up a full article explaining my Kratky hydroponics setup.
We have seen a couple of combination miter/table saws now enjoying freedom in the U.K., one from Bosch with a table mounted on top of a miter saw, and one from Makita that flips to transform. Now it is DeWalt's turn to join in on the fun with their very own flipping combination transformation miter/table saw.
