Outdoor Resin Wicker Furniture
Wicker furniture is among the most popular types of all garden and patio furniture. "Wicker" actually refers to the way that the chair, recliner, table, or whatever item it is is made--not the material used. The "wicker" is the weaving technique and styling used to create the effect that so many people love. Thus, wicker furniture can really be made from many different materials such as rattan, bamboo, cane, aluminum, synthetic plastic, and resin.
Today, wicker patio and garden furniture made from resin is highly sought after and becoming more preferred by wicker lovers all the time. To put it technically, a resin is a synthetic or an organic substance which becomes stronger when it is treated with a particular chemical method. A resin used on wicker patio and garden furniture might be a protective and strengthening coating, such as that often used these days on aluminum wicker furnishings, or it might be the weaving material itself.
Synthetic wicker furniture is becoming more and more popular among patio and garden decor enthusiasts today because, even though it is made from non-renewable hydrocarbons, it has developed and evolved greatly in the last 30 years and it offers some significant advantages over other wicker materials like cane or rattan.
Resin wicker furniture today can be made in many different colors and, furthermore, the colors are actually embedded into the resin rather than painted on, meaning that neither sunlight nor even marks, scratches, and such will cause resin wicker furniture's colors to fade. Resin wicker furniture will never rot due to mold or water exposure, and of course it cannot be hollowed out by insects. Resin wicker patio and garden furniture is easy to clean, too, and stains are easily wiped off. Yet another advantage of resin wicker is that no matter how hot it gets outside the furniture will still remain cool to your touch--unlike, say, wrought iron that could actually burn you if you touch it on a very hot, sunny day.
It used to be that the big criticism of resin wicker furniture was that it was cheap-looking. These days, that is no longer a valid criticism. Resins today are made that mimic the look of heavier, organic materials like bamboo and rattan so closely that only an expert would be able to notice that the resin furniture is not naturally organic. Yet, in addition to its being easier to clean and far less susceptible to harm from the elements, resin wicker patio and garden furniture is also less expensive than its wicker counterparts.
There are some people who still will insist that resin wicker furnishings are too light-weight, but at the same time they love all of the other advantages of them. For these people, aluminum-framed resin wicker furniture is an ideal solution. As with resin materials, aluminum materials used for patio and garden furniture have come a long way in the last few decades. Outdoor aluminum furniture is made to look exactly like the classic wrought iron furnishings in appearance and style, yet of course they are still much lighter than iron furnishings, making them easier and safer to move. But aluminum will still be heavier than resin material and for some people, such as those who live in relatively windy parts of the world, this furniture is the better choice. The outer resin coating makes the aluminum garden and patio furniture extra-protected, although new resin treatments may need to be applied every few years.
Aluminum outdoor furniture with a resin coating is very competitively priced compared to other wicker types of outdoor patio furniture but, on average, will be a little more expensive than all resin furniture. You can also buy resin wicker furniture with frames made of heavy synthetic plastic, stainless steel tubes, and even iron tubing. These pieces of furniture are still heavier but not too heavy for moving, rearranging and such. They are very sturdy and durable outdoors in spite of their relatively light weight.
Resin wicker furnishings, whether woven of resin, resin coated, or with another material for the frame, are still susceptible to being scorch-marked or melted (although not by the sun's heat), and depending on the frame possibly dented or having holes punched in them. Also, there are people today who worry about too much exposure to non-organic materials (whether this concern is unfounded or not is a matter of personal perspective). So, in spite of all resin wicker patio and garden furnishings' advantages they are not "perfect" for everyone. Still, given all of their qualities, from ease of cleaning and weather resistance to pricing, resin wicker furnishings are fast rising in popularity among so many for very good and sound reasons.
You might of course see some wicker garden and patio furnishings that are more expensive than other pieces. The reasons for higher or lower pricing come down to sturdiness of build, labor, shipping and quality of appearance. Also, for many years outdoor resin wicker patio furniture was exclusively made in Italy and became very expensive to import to America. Quality resin wicker furniture will still be heavier than synthetic plastic furnishings, and a certain amount of thickness is desirable even in pure resin furnishings. With the capabilities today of making resin wicker furnishings mimic the appearance of organic woods and so on, you should expect to pay more for eye-catching resin furniture than you would for "generic looking" resin furniture.
You get what you pay for in terms of quality. But with quality resin wicker patio and garden furniture, you usually get the most for your money.

Tool Review: Maxus Aluminum Tank Air Compressor
I wrote up the Maxus EX8016 X-Lite compressor as an Editor's Choice product for our HGTVPro news show HGTVPro.com Weekly, but I only recently had a chance to use the tool for any length of time. While I don't usually run a double-coverage defense with products I include on the show, I was so impressed with the 4-gallon twin-stack unit and its bevy of smart features that a real-time review had to happen.
Bottom line. Let's start with the BL. I used the 1.3 horsepower, 3.7 SCFM X-Lite in the three highest-drain applications I encounter as a home-improvement contractor: nailing off sheathing, running a roofing gun, and using my old Shingle Saw Pro II. It kept pace through and through.
I had absolutely no issue with laddered nails while rapid firing 8d, ring-shank nails or popping off shingles. And I wasn't nailing into any brand new softy 2x10 SPF; I was gunning into 80-year old Doug fir 1x12 sheathing and 2x8 rafters. I drove four nails into every 1x12 board up the roof — a way tighter nailing schedule than 1/2- inch roof decking, wall sheathing or subfloor. My nailer never starved for air.
It's worth pointing out that the EX8016 is a heavy breather and really liked having a dedicated cord straight out of the power supply — it tripped the lame-o surge suppressor strip I use as a multi-plug (no surprise, no demerits) — but on its own 100-foot cord, it ran fine, even in temps right around freezing.
I also ran my Shingle Saw Pro II. This pneumatic shingle saw (no longer in production; it's been re-designed) gobbles air big time. Nevertheless, one-off shingle cuts were a snap. Impressive. And X-Lite recovered quickly when the tank drained.
Weight a minute. When a tool's weight passes a certain threshold — around 80 pounds — carrying it becomes an experience of both necessity and pure dread. Such is the case with most compressors I've owned. But — and I mean and ALL-CAPS-bold-italics BUT — the X-Lite's aircraft quality aluminum tanks drops this baby's gross vehicle weight to a mere 57 pounds. I won't say that's feather-light, but holy mack-o (as my daughter says), there's no comparison between the X-Lite and other compressors where the lift-and-lug process toggles between a serious chafe at the minimum to an exercise in blood-pressure management by week's end.
Details done right. Beyond the light weight, the Maxus designers kept pushing during their design charrettes and executed smart, savvy details that carry the X-Lite furlongs further towards top-of-el-heapo status.
It starts with a carry handle/roll cage that's aces. See, the compressor is cubic — roughly the same shape as other compressors in the class — but the handle is positioned to deliver optimum carry efficiency between truck and site or between floors. Combined with its lighter weight, you can practically carry it like a suit case without having a back surgeon on speed-dial.
The roll-cage part of the handle houses everything — supply lines, gauges and the pump motor, to name a few biggies — so that it'll be darn tough to break them when Bruno the Meatball javelins a shovel or stack of 2x6s into the back of your truck.
Speaking of the truck and cubism, the machine really is cubic! This means that there aren't hose fittings, gauges, cords, or round/odd shapes sticking beyond the tool's recti-linear perimeter. How much do I love this when loading the truck? Seriously, thanks, Maxus, for yet another weapon against entropy.
What I also love (but can't recommend, of course) is that because the tool really is cubic, if you happen to load something on top of it in the truck or gang box, so what? Certainly loading tool and kit boxes around it is easier than any other compressor I've used. This is really smart design.
Here's some other cool stuff:
· The +/- pressure dial is easy to see, read, locate and use.
· There are two (thank you, lord) air ports right on the front of the tool.
· The cord is long enough too. I like this for trim or floor jobs where I might have the compressor in the room with me and need to move it here and there for whatever reason.
· The gauges are easy to see and read.
· Rubber feet mean I don't have to worry about putting the tool down on a finished floor. Tip: placing any compressor in the finished space on a piece of cardboard helps curb possible damage to the floors.
· It has an oil-lube pump; I don't mind changing the oil in every so many — er — years.
My only complaint. I wouldn't be living up to the secret writer's code if I didn't find at least one thing 'wrong.' Seriously, you get nasty letters from the Writers Guild if you don't. Anyway, it's the same complaint I have with all compressors and one that's a super-easy fix: the drain valve. I'd swap out the existing valve (one of those backwards-threaded 1/2 inch twist deals) with a ball valve. 'Nuff said.
Maxus-ed out. If you ask me, the Maxus EX8016 X-Lite compressor is the current industry leader in this category.

Can I replace the fork that came with my bike with a different one?
Can I replace the fork that came with my bike with a different one?
I need a steel fork because im going to add a motor to the bike, and all the good bikes are made of aluminum. So, is it possible to just replace only the fork and keep the rest of the bike? According to the manufacturer of the motor, the reason Aluminum, Magnesium, Graphite or any other light weight material is not recomneded is due to its durability. Those materials can't handle the winding or the torque of the motor that it will snap the fork from the point where the axle is bolted down to the motor.
Two points, yes, you need to make sure the steering tube is the same size, and all that (diameter, length, threaded or non threaded, all this can be changed of course, but you said FORKS)
Second. why not go with a rear motor or a motor that drives the chain instead of the front wheel? I have a Currie USPD and it is a wonderful addition to a bicycle (it is on a 27 speed Recumbent Trike! so not a beach cruiser!)

Rushton canoes have roots in Canton
A St Lawrence County craftsman's name has become synonymous with wooden canoes. J. Henry Rushton's boats were built in his shop in Canton during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Prized by collectors, canoeists and museums, his wooden watercraft became nationally known through his popular catalogs. Photojournalist RD White found out more about Rushton and his famed boats.
