You can occasionally save time and money by simply pilfering your home for everyday household items instead of buying something online at an expensive woodworking retailer. Now keep in mind, this can and will get you into trouble. The time I used Nicole&#8217;s electric hand mixer to stir latex paint comes to mind. But if you&#8217;re careful about it and stick to using the things that are no longer needed in the house (or the ones that are due for replacement), you could very well find yourself with a treasure trove of shop helpers at your disposal. <\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"lightbox[42708]\" title=\"dr browns\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/8ae580d856_dr-browns-220x220.jpg\" alt=\"dr browns\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-42711\" \/><\/a>My latest comes courtesy of my son Mateo. While he spent the first 7 months of his life enjoys nature&#8217;s perfect food, we eventually had to switch to formula. Mixing formula everyday is kind of a pain in the butt and I found the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001I481LM\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001I481LM&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=thewoodwhispe-20\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Brown&#8217;s formula mixer<\/a> to be absolutely awesome! Mixes easily with no clumps and no bubbles and I can pour right out of the container. Fast-forward a year or so and we no longer use the formula mixer. <br style=\"clear: both\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/thewoodwhispererguild.com\/members\/projects\/greene-greene-blanket-chest\/\" target=\"_blank\">Guild project<\/a>, I was mixing dye as per Darrell Peart&#8217;s formula and realized there was a better way. I headed into the kitchen, picked up the Dr. Browns mixer, ASKED PERMISSION (this is very important people!), and headed back to the shop with my new toy. As you can see in the photos, the mixer worked perfectly and gave me a very easy and clean way to transfer the dye to the spray cup. <\/p>\n<p><center><a rel=\"lightbox[42708]\" title=\"dr-browns-mixer-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/8ae580d856_dr-browns-mixer-1-220x123.jpg\" alt=\"dr-browns-mixer-1\" width=\"220\" height=\"123\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42709\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"lightbox[42708]\" title=\"dr-browns-mixer-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapestanywhere.com\/powertools\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/8ae580d856_dr-browns-mixer-2-220x122.jpg\" alt=\"dr-browns-mixer-2\" width=\"220\" height=\"122\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-42710\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I honestly don&#8217;t recommend you spend $13 on this formula mixer for your shop.
