Insert half the grommet in the hole, place matching half on top & use hammer & die to fasten halves together. HOW TO LAYOUT A PERFECT RECTANGLE FOR DECK OR PATIO • RON First, stake the location where you want the 90-degree angle and attach two string lines. Attach one of the two lines to a second stake, where you want the first side of the angle. Using a tape measure, mark 4 feet down this first string line. Measure 3 feet down the second string. Place the tape measure on the 4-foot mark of the

first string

Tap the joints gently into place with a mallet. HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT HACKSAW BLADE • RON HAZELTON For heavy-duty cutting jobs like steel reinforcing rod or pipe, an 18-teeth per inch blade would be the best choice. For a job that requires medium-duty cutting, like a thin wall electrical conduit, a 24-teeth per inch blade would do a better job. When cutting light metals like aluminum, a 32-teeth per inch blade should easily do the

trick.

HOW TO REFINISH KITCHEN CABINETS WITHOUT STRIPPING • RON Watch Ron's easy to follow instructions on how to refinish a cabinet. If the kitchen is the most-used room in the house, then you can probably say that the kitchen cabinet is the most-used thing in that
