    Rotary Lawn Mower Sharpener

    A few years ago I built myself a lawnmower blade sharpener. The design is my own and building it was kind of fun. I like to invent stuff and I have designed and built all sorts of stuff over the years. Anyway, I sharpen mower blades for people. When I built the machine I didn't intend on...

I wasn't really trying to listen in on their conversation, but they were right there next to my team and it was hard NOT to listen. I didn't hear all of the conversation, but I...

    Asus P7P55D-E

    I am not sure why I am writing this, I guess I am just curious if anybody has found the same problem.
