Ben's reaction to my Steadicam...he's not a fan.


After I made my cheesy steadicam, I tested it.
My dog Bender just came back from a walk.
He's usually a fan of my work..Not this time though.
He didn't appreciate it. Funny.

Cheesy Steadicam



Here's a Cheesy camera rig I made from some plastic pieces I found at the thrift store.
I think they are from a kids soccer goal kit.
It didn't have a net.
But, I got them for a dollar, from the thrift store outlet.
I didn't need the net anyway.

Casio G-Shock DW6900- How I fixed my busted G-Shock watch..



How I fixed my Casio G-Shock DW6900.
Really about the only thing that needed fixing or replacing I should say, was the bezel and the watchband..
I've had the watch for two long to just replace it with a new one.
It was worth fixing..

Great Watch...

CheapGeek Camera Windshield Camera Mount


I decided to make Camera windshield mount.
I bought an old GPS mount from the the Thrift store for $.99 and some 1/4 20 thread screws from Lowes home improvement store.
I thought I could modify the GPS holder to hold my camera..
It was easy.

Coleman Stuff


I've started collecting Coleman Stuff.
This stuff would be useful during the Zombie Apocalypse or camping.
Or hurricane or loss of power or any other type situation...
I bought all my Coleman items from the Thrift Store...
Check out Coleman.com. 
Lots of cool outdoor stuff and they sell parts.

GasTrimmer- Thrift Store Find.


I found this gas trimmer at the Thrift Store in Dec.
Picked it up for $29.00. It appears to be nearly new.
I can fix the problem it has easily for about $5 to 8.00.
Saves me about $40.00.
Awesome find!

Fixing Flat tires on my Handtruck...


My Handtruck's tires always seem to be going flat.
I don't always use it, but when I do..I don't want to have to fill them with air.
I figured I'd add some Fix a Flat to them. Seems to work good....

Yardwork! I love it....really...




Yay! Yard work!
It's my favorite thing to do on a beautiful day..
Nope I don't want to be working on my 1977 VW bus....
I would rather cut the grass,trim the bushes and fight the thorny rose bush... 

Enjoy my Happy Face.

Weirdest Thrift Store Find- Portable Water Treatment Unit.


This is weirdest thing I've found at the Thrift Store.
A portable Water Treatment unit. It was $5.00.
Worth it. To have clean water during the Zombie Apocalypse, or SHTF or Natural disaster or whatever.
Totally worth $5.00 ($4.98 to be exact)
It's weird..

Tabletop Tripod- Thrift Store find.


Another Tripod I found.
This medium sized tabletop tripod was too cheap to pass up..
$1.48. When you find them that cheap, go ahead and get them.
I might make a steadicam or glidecam out of it.


This one might be nice.
It's shorter and more expensive.

Mini Oil Lamps, awesome old school 1800's style pocket flashlights!

Cool little mini oil lamps.
These things are the equivalent an 1800's era pocket flashlight.
They actually work. We tested them.
Got them from the Thrift Store for about $1.00 a piece.
I like them..
Pretty Nifty.


Here's one from Amazon. 
It's not as cool as mine, or pocket sized....
