Catching up to myself

Howdy Readers,

I've been a busy guy with life in general and also with making youtube content. I'm more or less on a schedule of a DIY/repair type video every Monday and a Beer Review In A Minute Or Two video every Friday.

If you're not already following me directly on youtube I think you probably should do. Find me here: http:/www.youtube.com/froshmasta Subscribe and be notified immediately about new videos instead of waiting weeks or months here to find out.

Anyway Here's some stuff I've been building/fixing/inventing:

Here's a DIY Chainsaw handle repair I did to make a free saw into an awesome free saw:


This is a video followup about some of my DIY flashlight efforts:


My one-of-a-kind home-built R/C Truck towing the toddler around in a wagon:


My roof sucks so I do a bunch of these DIY shifty roofing repairs:


A quick and boring look at upgrading my garage PC:


This was a fun DIY kiddie slide construction project I did so our little boy could have a sweet slide to play on:


I'm 32 years old and I really have no excuse for this... but it amuses me to pimp up my lawnmower:


I do some photography and videography type things so I made up a DIY photo / video studio light out of mostly garbage:

Wee Heavy Scotch Ale

It's beer time again! This week we've got an unfortunately seasonal local microbrew from Sea Level Brewery at The Port pub in Portwilliams: High Street Wee Heavy Scotch Ale. Have a seat and grab a beer and drink along with me:

Functional Folk Art?

What it is?!

Here's another little glimpse into how my brain works sometimes. I saw this old spent fire extinguisher in my stock of goodies and thought:
"I bet my little Kodak Playsport HD camera would fit into that and be safe from flying debris or shrapnel" ...

and then I thought:
"It does fit! but maybe there should be a window so the camera can see out...".

etc, etc.

Anyway... Video:

Keith's comes through with something interesting!

It's beer o'clock on Friday again!

On the tasting block this week is Alexander Keith's Tartan Ale. A different approach for them and a "Brewmaster's Limited Release". If you like what I have to say about it you'd better go get some to try before it vanishes forever... if you don't like what I say then I guess it's not an issue.
Here's the video:

Big Ole Discarded Death Ray

Here's a preliminary experiment with something else I dragged out of the trash. I don't think it's actually a real fresnel lens but I don't really know. In any case it's a big magnifying glass that I will definitely be doing some more experimenting with in the future.

C'mere and Taste This!

It's Beer Review In A Minute Or Two time again!

This episode features Strong Framboise (Raspberry) Beer from Amsterdam Brewing Co. in Toronto.

My good buddy, Matt, brought this beer to me after it had been sitting for a long time so I'm not sure if it had gone bad or if it started out bad... I've said too much...

Hedge Hacker

G'day!

Here's another piece of trashed-turned-treasure that I've been playing with. A discarded Black&Decker cordless hedge trimmer I picked up with no battery. I thought I was going to have to build my own battery pack for it but I found a better way:
