Floating Nightstands with Box Miters

By Nathan Darnell Posted on October 2, 2016 Posted in Home Projects No Comments

My sister called me and told me that their new bed had pull-out drawers built into the bottom.  To not block the drawers, she wanted some kind of nightstand that floated above them and sent me three pictures of ideas …

Custom Berretta AL-2 Titanium Charging Handle

By Nathan Darnell Posted on September 25, 2016 Posted in Shooting No Comments

I have an older Beretta AL-2 from the 70’s that’s a pretty nice shotgun and even with the plastic buttpad, absorbs the recoil quite well.  I picked it up in a pawn shop for around $400 with no issues other than …

I’ve had this old (in computer terms) ASUS K52F laptop since 2009 and although it came with Windows 7 originally, I’ve mostly been dual-booting Ubuntu for the last several years.  Windows would typically take 5-10 minutes to boot and then log in …

My truck didn’t come with a tachometer and LS tachs are hard to come by.  I used this poster’s suggestion on Isuzupup.com and purchased a Hall Effect aftermarket tach from Amazon for $18.99. When it came, I wasn’t sure if the magnet …
