I have used both corded and cordless vacuums over the years. The dyson stick vacuum was a jump start to grab n go vacuum around the house but now I find myself using a cheap but powerful corded vacuum all the time around the house. Nothing beats the suction of a corded vacuum. The vast majority of vacuum advertisements is for battery powered vacuum but the best vacuums are plugged in. A shop vac for example can suck up anything that fits in the 2.5 inch hose. Vacuuming a car with a shop vac is very satisfying especially when it sucks up tissues wrapper junk rock etc.
After years of watching Norm Abram on PBS with my Dad as a kid; I built this picnic table. It’s a unique table using lap joints through a 4x4 post with carriage bolts. Norm used a radial arm saw, I used a depth stop on a miter saw to make kerf cuts. All angles are 20 degrees and I put 1/2” chamfer on all edges. Used Cabot solid stain sealer and left the treated wood to dry for a year or so. My kids needed a bigger table to sit on.
