Bobbi was the latest reader to mention the reader-generated Cool Tools web site. I’ve linked to it before in the blog, but so many of their recent articles tie in to SurvivalBlog topics that it bears mentioning again. For example, the current Cool Tools review of the recent book How to Build with Grid Beam echoes my advice on building a very versatile stationary bicycle frame for generators, grain grinders, and even meat grinders. (Welding is a great skill that I consider a “must’, but with grid beam, you can fairly rapidly reconfigure prototypes.)
