Stumbled across this Youtube video and decided to give it a go. Although I don't wholly agree with the test method I found the video interesting.

And while I'm at all the renos I have been doing over the past year, I have found this method to be my favourite when it comes to appropriately sized. drywall patch repair.

That man has impacted my buying habits more than most marketing agencies.

Vancouver Carpenter is another good guy. Him and Finish Carpentry TV are common watches of mine.

Never heard of Project Farm before. He has a lot of content which means I've probably got a lot of watching ahead of me.

Very timely post considering the project I just finished off over the weekend, although I did not rely on any drywall anchors for mounting this thing

Guy in Guelph (Peter), called Novalook. Bought the plates and bar from him, waiting for the easy curl bar to come in

He delivered them to my house

Didn’t mean to hijack the thread

The anchor review was really well done. I typically use the metal threaded version he reviewed for everything, but don’t hang anything substantial from anchors only
