| Creating An Appliance Manual Notebook
|
|
After the umpteenth time of having to sort through dozens of loose manuals stuffed in a drawer, I have finally found a much better system for handling such materials. I purchased an Avery extra tough, locking rings 3" notebook (which holds up to 460 pages), a packet of clear Avery heavy weight sheet protectors, and a packet of various colored pocket dividers.

| Fixing Holes in Particle Board Furniture
|
|
To fill in places where the paper has been ripped off of wood look furniture, try using a brown crayon to cover the spot followed by a black crayon (lightly) to blend the spot. We did this with a dvd cabinet recently with great results.

When your paper punches don't seem to spring back as quick as when new, use wax paper to punch designs and lubricate the paper punch.

| Fixing Loose Glasses with Rubberbands
|
|
This morning my glasses were so loose they were sliding down my nose. I keep a package of assorted rubber bands, and I selected two of the tiniest.
I doubled them and slipped them onto the ends of the glasses legs, then looped them once more, to make them as tight as possible. Then I slid them up the legs and into the hinges holding the glasses together. Voila! Now my glasses fit tightly again.

| Furniture Repair From Scratch
|
|
Use shoe polish (paste or wax-based) to touch up nicks and scratches on door frames and furniture. It's quick and easy to use, and when rubbed in really makes the scratch seem to disappear.

| Filling Holes in Old Screens
|
|
I learned this tip or hint out of desperation. We live in an old house and it has old screens that have developed holes. I tried cotton balls and duct tape but they didn't stay on for long. This year when I put the screens in I grabbed my hot glue gun and filled the holes. Well summer's over and it's still holding!

| Sprucing Up Your Table Saw
|
|
Does the top of your table saw look bad? Brighten its appearance by spraying it with rust remover or WD-40. Then scour with #3 steel wool pads on a pad sander. Surfaces will shine like new after a few minutes work. Be sure not to saturate the sanders felt pad.
