I would be constructing it myself with whichever I choose. I would like it to be built from wood, not steel (not a steel pole barn). Which is the cheapest way to go?
What is your opinion about ‘Steel kit homes’ versus already built properties? EG..Electricity and plumbing..also we would have solar panels and water tanks as we live in a hot,tropical environment and would have advanced well-placed trees for insulation.We have to buy the land then build upon it….What do you all see as the pros and cons of this? Thank you.(I know there are plenty of cons..telephone,council approval,site,soil etc..but still wondering..is it really cheaper or worth the trouble..we are used to living rough .)
For my environmental awareness class we a building a small survival kit in a altoid can. we need things for fire, water purification, shelter,emotional stability and what not
Im not sure if i want a mag stick and a knife or a swedish fire starter? The knife would come in handy but its hard getting all the mag. shavings in one place. Im buying some water purification tablets, paracord to build a shelter, cotton balls/steel wool for tinder. Anything else?
I am looking into making a prefab (kit) metal building around 300ft x 100ft. I can’t seem to get the right pricing for a kit without talking to a sales rep bugging the heck out of me and telling me all about their "special deals". All I want to know is a ballpark figure on how much your average building like this will cost? I know this is a loaded question. But any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I’ve recently come into possession of a vintage razor kit, dated to the late twenties or early thirties. The razor includes two permanent blades (rather than disposable) of hollow-ground Sheffield steel as well as a built-in strop/hone.
The problems are these: One of the blades is chipped, both are lightly rusted/corroded. The strop is also in a sorry state, being dented (if that’s the right word with leather) and otherwise damaged.
For more info/pictures see the thread I created here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=93629
I’m looking for advice on how to restore this (or get this restored). Both the blades and the strop.
I’m resorting to posting this in multiple categories because there doesn’t seem to be a single one that suits.
Thank you for your interest.
Thank you both for your answers, I’ve found everything quite helpful so far.
As a point of interest, I have discovered that the hone is not missing. Rather, the strop slides out on a plate on the other side of which is the hone. I had some trouble in figuring out how to get the strop out at first, but it turns out to be quite simple.
they’re these kits that you buy and then build and they are the frames for houses but they are made of steel
We are in the midst of building a wooden fence with galvanized steel posts instead of wooden posts. We have no idea how to build a gate for it. And it has been really hard to find anything on the internet showing/explaining how to build a gate if you are attaching it to steel posts. I bought a gate hardware kit and that doesn’t even have instructions! How do I do this? Or where should I start?
I am building a steel shed in my yard and the spot i have chosen is not quite level. I plan to set the floor kit on top of concrete patio blocks but what is the best way to bring the ground to level.
I am moving to a new apt. in a building that was built with steel beams rather than wood. Is there a mounting kit made for steel beams rather than wood? I cannot find anything on the web…

Thanks in advance
