My daughter saw this on TV and said "Dad, you can build this!"
Here's a view of one on Bizrate;

Ya... right... I'm going to pay that!!!
This is my next project for the shop.
Reality folks, find some old wood.
Right now, I can get weather beaten crates for FREE.
Thinking this would be great stock to build from.
If you've check the site http://unclebobsworkshop.info and you have the basic tools from the "Tool Box" section and a few of the 'basic' power tools, we have a project for Christmas!
I'm building a couple this Saturday. On the site by Sunday (possibly Saturday afternoon). Can't see this as more than a 2 hour project!
1/2 Riddling rack for $238.00!!!! Don't think so!
Follow me through this and build one for yourself or a gift.

The Septic Tank
Last winter we had a back-up and out in the cold and snow I went to dig up the tank.
Well I'm done with that and just yesterday dug them up one last time and created a well
and cap, so now all I have to do is flip up the cap and there it is!
Come on over to Uncle Bob's Workshop and check out the Instructionals

Update to the 'new mouse trap'
It's been a week so far and the mouse count is up, but the chipmunks just don't like the bait...
I've tried the nuts they're grabbing from the yard, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, grass seed and latest was the pecan paste (read this one was good).
The basic design works!
Bait is a whole 'nother issue...
Dozen and a half field mice
2 Chipmunks
The 'yard test' is not over....

Instructionals
I added a new section to Uncle Bob's Workshop called Instructionals!
I decided to add a Tool Box Section, explaining the 'basic' items everyone should have in their tool box.
The second is the Basic Power tool section, again just the 'basic' items we all should have.
With both of these, you can now complete any of the Projects I have listed!
Check out the site and the new areas!

A new mouse trap
2 Oct 2011
Besides getting this blog site setup, I decided to work on my Chipmunk problem in the yard.
I've built my first trap and in 'pure' Uncle Bob fashion, it has to be simple and easy to build.
Most of all, it has to work!
I'm not exactly a purest when it comes to ridding my yard of pesty rodents, with extreme prejudice, but in the spirit of things, I decided to build something that will work either way.
It's in the yard now for testing and so far it's captured 3 field mice and only a curious chipmunk.
Need to work on better bait for I know the system works!
Though not opposed to shooting the pests, my neighbors prefer I refrain...
Poison is out... just don't know were they crawl up and die.
That smell can be worst than the damage they do... especially if in the house..
Simple design, one moving part and took me an hour to make it up.
Prefect Uncle Bob Project!
If you think I'm being harsh, check this out this product!
Have to tell ya... I like the way these guys think, just not Uncle Bob style.
Once 'yard proven', I'll put it up on the website.

Finally some response!
30 Sept 2011
Okay, so first response was "I'm looking for plans to build a machine that prints real money.
Can you help Uncle Bob?".
Well, we all have one! It's called a computer.
The problem here is that our goverment has worked out a way with specific paper (we can not buy), special ingraving (close to impossible to copy), and special coloring that makes it near impossible to copy.
In other words, the only folks capable for printing 'real' money is 'our goverment'.
Problem is, there doing it way too much and for reasons that would put any of us in jail if we did it for the same reasons...
Conclusion; Don't attempt it!
Second was a way to make Whiskey.
Well... I've been down this road and it's rather easy, but illegal...
For some strange reason we can produce 200 gallons of wine & beer for personal comsumption, but we'll go to jail for making a drop of clean spirits.
If you think about the amount of sugar going into the wine or beer and the contribution it has to diabeties, you have to wonder why we can produce those, but not a 'clean spirit'....
Conclusion; Don't attempt it!
Bring it on folks. Uncle Bob is ready!
