Black & Decker

I really only have one Black & Decker tool and it is a portable battery operated pressure washer and is really part of my garden tools.

The BLACK+DECKER 18V Pressure Cleaner is perfect for a variety of applications outside the home and on the go. Its portable design draws water from various sources such as buckets, water tanks, ponds and mains supply. The 5-in-1 Nozzle attachment affords the freedom to select the right nozzle for the job and up to 350 PSI cleaning power is suitable for a multitude of tasks.
  • 350psi (24 bar).
  • 5-in-1 nozzle.
  • Ergonomic
  • lightweight and portable design enables users to use on the go.

Don’t buy this tool if you think it is going to give you the same capability as a electric water blaster. It is great for washing the car etc not washing or blasting moss off your side paths etc.

Tools I use

I often receive messages and emails inquiring about the tools, cameras, and services I use for my projects and videos. So, in my rather limited wisdom, I decided to compile them all in one place to easily direct people to this list. I’ll strive to keep it updated as I replace tools. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! Unfortunately, I can’t provide links to all the tools I use as some are no longer supported by their sellers due to their age, but I’ll include links to as many as I can.

I want to emphasize that I purchased all my tools with my own funds unless stated otherwise. Additionally, I’m not sharing this list to boast; it’s primarily for insurance purposes and to answer common inquiries. (Please note that not all tools listed are exclusively for woodworking).

Halloween Prop Coffin

This is a joint effort with a friend, who is going to help build it. Hayden’s partner parents, wanted a full size coffin for a halloween party. Zombie the return of the living dead theme.

I was unsure what type of wood was going to be supplied so couldn’t really make a plan till I knew what wood was going to turn up? Wood supplied 185mm x 2400mm dressed. I reckon 12 will do it, but depends on how deep we make it. Our instructions were a “full sized coffin.” My question back was, what size, to fit a 5’8″ person or 6’9″ person, was the person skinny or on the larger size…? Anyway it is only a prop and won’t be used to carry anyone etc. (well I hope not anyway). So stay tuned to see how we put it together and the fun we have.

Text message

Nighthawk: We start to make coffin this weekend?
Hayden: Yup. Do I need to bring anything?
Nighthawk: Jigsaw and anything you think that would help.
Hayden: A body?
Nighthawk: Only if it is the living dead and knows how to make a coffin.
Hayden: LOL
