Make an Amazing Garden Lamp With Your Chainsaw
27.06.2023 - 19:15 / hometalk.com
This is one of the most beautiful and amazing garden lights that I have seen, and it is made out of nothing more than an old, dried out log and an inexpensive outdoor light. If you have chainsaw skills, then this project is for you so grab your chainsaw and put your skills to the test with this cool lamp build. Once you create one you won’t be able to stop, and you’ll be making them for everyone you know.
Please be careful if you are undertaking this project. You will have to use a chainsaw for most of the project and if you are inexperienced in using one, you may want to start or practice on something simpler first. If you choose to make a garden lamp, remember to wear protective gear like slip-resistant gloves and eye goggles and to take your time working slowly and carefully.
To make my incredibly cool new garden lamp I started with a log that I already had on my property. The log I chose was nice and large and I really liked the shape as it had lots of character with its bumps and cracks. I chose this log as well because it was nice and dried out, so the wood was hard and free of sap. My log was walnut, and even though you don’t have to use walnut, I would recommend using a species of hardwood. A hardwood log will hold up better in the long run and be easier to cut when creating this lamp.
My log was a little too long for the lamp I wanted to create so I decided to cut it down to almost half its length. I used several ratchet tie-down straps to hold the log securely to one of my sturdy deck posts and then used my chainsaw to slice off the bottom half of the log. I tried to make the cut as straight and as even as possible so that the log would sit flat when I was finished. I did pretty well and didn’t need to straighten

What an Hour of Gardening Does to Your Body
You know how it's illogical that people take escalators and elevators and then go to the gym to use the stair machine? The same could be said for people who go to the supermarket for produce and then go to the gym to workout. Why not just combine the two and do some work in the garden?

Herb Garden in Patio Table
This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
