Today’s Quick Tip is about Rockwell’s Jawhorse. It’s one of those tools you probably don’t know you need. If you don’t have much space to DIY yet you need a workstation theJawhorse is totally for you.
It can eliminate your workbench and vice. Yet you can hold up to 600lbs of material in it. Yah, you need to check it out. Especially if you don’t always have an extra set of hands when doing DIY projects. It can hold a cabinet, door, or bicycle no problem.

Does your door rub the floor when you open and close it? If so, I’ve got some tips. Always try to adjust hinges first. Sometimes a hinge is loose either on the jamb or door. And all you need to do is tighten it down. Or if the screw is loose you can replace it with a longer or wider version. You can also remove the loose screw, tap a golf tee into the hole, break it off flush with the door/jamb, and install a new screw.
The last resort for a sticking door is to trim the bottom, top, or side. What’s the best tool? In my opinion it’s a hand planer. I like the Ryobi Hand Planer because it’s affordable, I mean really, how often is a DIYer gonna be doing this?
You can pickup a Ryobi Hand Planer for $45-$69 online. Amazon even sells reconditioned ones.
