Rockler Pizza Cutter Turning Kit – Minus the Turning

Rockler Pizza Cutter Turning Kit – Minus the Turning

Jake December 23, 2016 1 Comment

Home Fixated sponsor Rockler has a pizza cutter turning kit that’s a great way to make an awesome holiday gift. They are a very high quality heavy piece of machinery that could easily double as menacing home defense implements. They come in stainless steel or brass and with simple hand tools (or better yet a band saw if available) are relatively easy to make. It is assumed that the maker would craft the handle by turning it on a lathe, however I don’t have a lathe so I use a band saw or jig saw and some minor shaping to come up with completely unique handles – no turning required! It’s a simple process that just about any skill level with wood and tools can pull off. If you scoff at the idea of NOT using a lathe, check out our previous review of the Rockler Turning Kits here.

Oliver Mid Industrial Hiker Boot Review

Oliver Mid Industrial Hiker Boot Review

Jake September 15, 2016 1 Comment

Oliver Boots by Honeywell sent us a pair of mid industrial hiker boots to review, and I’ve already put them through some abuse in the shop and out in the field. I am notorious for destroying footwear and generally only get about 6 months out of a pair if I am lucky. Time will tell how these Oliver Mid Industrial Hikers hold up, but so far they’re going strong. I spend most days on my feet for many hours getting covered in sawdust and metal shards, among other things. Other days I’m installing cabinetry, setting kicks, and crawling around on my hands and knees dragging the toes of my shoes to hell and gone. Read More
