Sous-vide Steak with a Keurig Coffee Maker

I bought an old Keurig coffee maker at a garage sale, but it never worked correctly, so I decided to put it to better use. I took it to pieces and built a craptacular sous-vide machine out of the parts. Then I used it to cook a steak in my workshop, and finished the steak off with a blowtorch. The end result was surprisingly delicious!

Office Desk Part 1: The Desk Top

Recently, I started working from home. I’d like to have a dedicated desk just for work stuff in my home office so that I don’t have to re-arrange my desk every time I switch back and forth between laptops.

This is as good a time as any to figure out how to make a desk, and I saw a farmhouse-style table at a local antiques store that got the creative juices flowing. In this video, I build the desk top out of 3/4″ tongue and groove upcycled pine barnboard. I glue it all together, cut it to size, do a lot of planing and sanding, round over the edges, and finish the desk with Danish Oil.

Pallet Wood Craft Beer Paddles

Every year in my hometown, there’s a craft beer and barbecued meat festival called RibFest, where they give out beer samples in little 5oz glasses. I’ve saved up all of the glasses from past years and in this video, I build a couple of beer paddles that each carry four of the sample glasses.

Garage Sale Haul

Just a quickie today – I was running around town this morning and saw a garage sale with a bunch of tools at it. The guy doing the selling was a retired machinist with a lot of opinions on how to build a quality trailer. He had some cool stories and some neat old tools. I bought a box of C clamps, a box of AC to DC wall warts, and a box of assorted switches for use in future projects.
