We don’t get an awful lot of free time on the farm, but when I do settle in for the evening I’ve been known to burn my free time up perusing the internet. It’s pretty easy to get sucked down one rabbit hole or another, but the ones that have captured my attention are the DIY projects that go from start to finish in about 3 minutes and 28 seconds. If only, right? When I saw one that required a chainsaw and a welder to build a live edge table I was intrigued. I happened to have a big maple log down in the woods and a pile of steel tubing in the shop – both perfect for the job.

Incinerating Weeds with 500,000 BTU’s – The Bernzomatic Magfire+ Outdoor Torch
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. I received the Bernzomatic Magfire+ 500,00 BTU Outdoor Torch a little while ago at this branch of Home-Fixated to try around the farm. It’s a propane powered torch that delivers up to 500,000 BTU’s of concentrated flame where ever you desire. It’s a mini flamethrower, not quite enough to make Elon Musk jealous, but close. The torch kit comes with the main shaft featuring an ergonomic grip and trigger to control the flame level, a 10’CSA hose, and a sparker for safe ignition. This torch will connect to any POL style propane tank (BBQ Tank). It is recommended that you use the torch with a minimum of a 20 pound cylinder. Read More
