Duct Tape Screw Holder
If you need to remove screws and then replace them, getting them lost among the other loose materials is all too easy. Avoid lost screws by pushing them into a piece of duct tape and taping them to your screw gun or project.
DIY Birch Vase
This is a simple woodworking project that just about anyone at all handy can do. Cut a fairly straight piece of birch to your desired length/height for the vase. Then use a forstner, spade or tri-flute style bit to bore out the center of the wood, leaving at least 1.5 inches at the bottom, particularly if you’re not using a forstner bit. Great for your own home decor or as an inexpensive, beautiful custom gift.
