How I built a cheap above ground pool deck

Posted November 20, 2016

I thought I would show how it is possible to build a cheap, but sturdy pool deck.

I will never have enough money to buy all the materials for a full size pool deck. It occurred to me that it is possible to build it in sections. I decided to start with a 4×8 foot section. I could then add to it as I got a little extra money.

Peavey Vypyr VIP Amp Diy Midi Footswitch

Posted January 21, 2016

I have a Peavey Vypyr VIP 100 Guitar Amp. I really like the amp, but the Sanpera footswitch that I have for it is really limited. I’ve found that several things are really helpful when using a footswitch for an amp, and the Sanpera really doesn’t deliver on any of those things.

Posted July 23, 2015

I got some more green diamond ends and cut them to height. I ended up just putting a few screws in them, in the valleys of the diamonds. It won’t affect the dice at all. You really can’t see them.

12 Foot Craps Part 13

Posted June 20, 2015

After a close look at the casino craps table during my last visit, I decided the walls were too high on my table. I need to take about 2 inches off. The table bottom is about the right distance off the floor, but the chip trays and padded rail end up too high.
