Dads like tools. You may be thinking of getting your father a tool set for Father’s Day. Today, most tools are made cheaply overseas and don’t often last for more than a few years. So if you want to get Dad a set of tools that will last him the rest of his life, you should get him a set of...+ READ MORE

On my upcoming media tour, we're going to be discussing Father's Day and looking at a couple of different hand planes, a couple of tiny little block planes and 24-inch joiner planes. Modern planes can be plugged in, but a good handheld plane is a treat to use.+ READ MORE

I grew up on a farm. My dad is a farmer out there in Iowa, and he's well-versed in carpentry and mechanics as well as agriculture. He's added three rooms onto his home by himself and fixes his own tractors and combines with the help of his hired hand. Growing up, I used to assist him in his work....+ READ MORE

When I was in grade school, we went to the roller skate rink for our birthday parties. We'd roller skate around for hours and then the DJ ( who I am now filled with pity for) would proclaim that it was time for Couple's Skate. This DJanical proclamation would essentially clear the roller rink of...+ READ MORE

Longevity of your vehicle is just as important as its economy and emissions, considering that how you drive your vehicle dictates its lifespan, or in other words, how long it will remain out of some salvage yard, collecting dust, rust, and bug mites. It's kind of like the human body. If you take...+ READ MORE

There really wasn't a lot of cement on the farm where I grew up. I had a skateboard, but it was by far the lamest thing I could have owned while living on a soybean farm. It doesn't work well on gravel. That's all I'm saying. Anyways, when I see these young whippersnappers laying on their...+ READ MORE

Prior to baseball, America's pastime was indiscriminate shoving. Actually, I don't know what Americans did as a pastime before the advent of modern-day baseball. I'd guess it was probably one of those Medieval sports like swine-gathering or barrel-hurling. You know, something archaic. Anyways,...+ READ MORE

You commute to work with pedal power, streamers flapping in the wind, baseball cards thwacking in your wheels, basket wobbling as you ride over a pothole. OK. So you're probably older and cooler than that. You're probably a stylish urban professional who cares enough about the environment to bike to...+ READ MORE

The Flemming family, Nica and Robert, were a nice Philadelphian couple who wanted to put solar panels on their roof. The Flemming's roof was in terrible shape. It looked like it was about ready to collapse, but instead of fixing it, they were spending twenty-thousand dollars on solar panels.+ READ MORE

If you like sports, then you probably like baseball. It's simultaneously one of the easiest and hardest sports there is. You spend, like, 90% of the time doing nothing, then some dude throws a tiny ball that's moving at about 85mph+ at your head. You have to hit the ball with a stick. Then when you...+ READ MORE

Like millions of a Americans, I cannot dunk a basketball. Some nights I lie awake at night imagining how it would feel to "be like Mike." But alas, my tops are not high enough, my sneakers not fully pumped and my name on the court is "bricklayer." I also wear Nike shoes with Reebok socks. (That is...+ READ MORE

To me, there are few things greater than sitting on a bank somewhere and fishing. Finding an old maple tree to sit under, listening to the sounds of nature, obtaining food for next to nothing. That is, indeed, the life.+ READ MORE
