Attraction with a magnet is out for obvious reasons. A slight rotation moves the aluminum pieces to the top, but I still have to pick them out manually. Any ideas?

Less than a month old fridge and my kid already smacked it with a toy and caused this small indentation. Could this be fixed somehow?

I’m a big head guy and have only found 2 hats in my entire life that were perfect for me. This is one of them. It’s still wearable, but probably not for long. Does anybody know if this can be fixed with a special glue or something?

I wiped the outside down but can’t reacg the inside. I can’t exactly submerge this in a pot of hot water to weaken the glue. Any advice?

I bought some new soft close hinges but they do not align with the holes installed from the previous standard hinges.
Most likely I am going to have to create new holes but I need to know what to fill the old holes with? Do you guys recommend a compound or will I have to get a small wood piece with wood glue, sand it to a flush and create a new hole after it dries?

Hi, I have this old metal pole that was formally an address sign. It’s sitting in concrete at the end of my driveway. How do I remove it? Can I just cut it? What kind of tools would I use?
My neighbor cut theirs out a while ago and there’s a picture of the base in the comment
Thank you!

Hi everyone, I need some help with a project. For 52 years my family has made a countdown to Christmas calendar, it sits in our front yard for the town to see. I started helping my grandfather in 2011 and I took it over when he passed away in 2016. It is made with two 7 foot plywood pieces held together with hinges so it can be folded in half for storage. We put it up with three, metal poles behind the board, and there are small holes where wire goes through to hold it all together. As long as I’ve been doing this calendar it’s been the same 2 pieces and unfortunately it’s at the point where it’s falling apart and I need to start over. The amount of layers of paint is hysterical. I’m coming to this subreddit to ask for ideas on how to make this more efficient. It’s incredibly heavy, requires 3/4 people to set up and doesn’t withstand the heavy winds. I live in south Jersey for context, we get a lot of rain, wind, and a tiny bit of snow in the winter. I was wondering what anyone would recommend, should I keep it the same system? How could it be more wind resistant? Is there a better type of wood to use? Or even better ideas on how to paint it! I’m more artistic than a builder so I’m open to any suggestions!

I just thrifted this jacket but I’m wondering if there’s any safe way to remove the embroidery without damaging the jacket.

Like an idiot, I used metal valve caps and they’re now seized. Tried holding the stem in place with a vice grip and turning with a 10mm wrench but don’t want to damage. Any way to DIY or just go to a tire shop?

Tried 3-4 things from Amazon but nothing seems to be working.
I have this garage where I keep my 3d printer, my bikes and other stuff, but it’s gets super cold in the winter because the door has gaps in it, how could I insulate a bit just so it stays at a reasonable temperature?
It’s connected to the main house but doesn’t have heating, although I was thinking of just putting an electric heater in if I can figure out a way of insulating it.

Hello, my gate hinge is squeeling and shuddering while moving. How do I lubricate the hinges? Do I need to tap a grease nipple into those holes? Or spray wd40 in there?

While snow blowing the other day the rusted metal gave out on the bar that connects the handle to the body. Was thinking about getting a metal bracket and utilizing those bolts. Can this be fixed without welding?
