A previous resident must have been a farrier.
Daniel is a farrier, that's why I tagged him hahah.
I know my nails haha. Cut nails have a blunt end and are thicker. That's cool though.
If only I had a horseshoe to hang up for luck
Does anyone know a good place to get 2x2 lumber that is furniture grade? I am making a dresser for my gf and for now my only idea is to take 2x4s and rip them down, but if possible to get really good lumber I’d be willing to just buy it.
It’s so cold in my garage that I’m not trying to spend time out there ripping down 2x4s 😂
It looks like maybe Home Depot has square edge white wood 2x2s so nvm I’ll go check that out
I buy my exotic woods from a local company.
Can anyone recommend a door reinforcement kit, window bars, and/or alarms that engage when a door is being kicked in or a window is smashed?

Simply safe.
If you're renting make your landlord do it.
The best you can do for a door is one of those things that you prop under the knob to help hold it shut.
As far as bars for the windows I'd say those are probably custom made. I could be wrong though haha.
Thanks for the advice @RevStench . They're for my gf, who unfortunately needed them ASAP. The landlord is really slow getting back to her so she got some of those temporary window reinforcements and better locks. Hopefully those will work
You could go this route too, https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F182113888101

Is it a ground level window that you're worried about someone breaking in? They do make that film you can attach to the glass and makes it "shatter" resistant. But if you kick long enough I feel someone could get through.
I saw this, link, if it screws in I feel that would be perfect. Or something similar.

I recommended Simply Safe because it's a relatively cheap security system that is wireless. The advantage is someone can't cut your phone line outside of the house to disable the system.
I just saw you're in New York, good luck 😂
It is a ground level window, and thank you for all the information! She's actually in Philly (different schools) so it's far more dangerous for her. Yesterday, every car on the street had one smashed window. @RevStench
Dang, that sucks. Hopefully you can find something to secure that window. For better safety find something that screws in, you can patch the holes really easy.
Thanks again, I'll relay all of this to her
No problem brother, gotta keep your little lady safe while you're away.
New radial arm saw set up. 20feet of surface, and some cabinets.
Nice lookin workshop!
Art glass!
Wow Gorgeous!
They were made mid 1800s, I just restored them, replaced broken/cracked glass. Re soldered everything to tighten it up.
It's hammered glass so it's hard to find matching glass. We're just not as good as the old timers.
Well,it still a beauty to enjoy. Glad you could do it. Some learn more of the art over time,hear it can be tricky. Have just always appreciated such loveliness in the stained glass like these. A true art form. Thanks for helping to keep it so!
Thanks for appreciating it. Leaded glass isn't to hard, it's just incredibly time consuming.
