The new Jon Eakes HOME IMPROVEMENT ENCYCLOPEDIA ON INTERACTIVE DVD -- Jon's answer to "Reality TV".

The first two disks are now finished and national distribution will begin in stores by the Spring of 2008. Installing Drywall is 2-1/2 hours of details on Drywalling in 3 to 7 minute segments all directly accessible through interactive menus. Stationary Saws gives all the details on Miter Saws, Table Saws, Speciality Blades and includes my entire book Fine Tuning Your Radial Arm Saw. At $9.95 each and packed with the kind of solid detail you know I love to provide, this is my answer to the fluff of Reality TV. Interactive menus means instant access to what you want - when you want.

WHAT PRODUCTS DOES JON EAKES RECOMMEND AND WHY?

I often have trouble recommending one brand name over others where there are a lot of good choices on the shelves. In addition tools, products and services are changing constantly and what might have been the best a while ago may still be valid but not the "best" today. There are times however when something is quite unique or something simply stands out; then I like to tell you about it, even where to get it. Remember that the "best buy" and the "best product" are not always the same thing. Some may consider a Ferrari the "best" car around, while for others it is not in their budget, hence not the "best buy" for them. In addition everything is relative and sometimes a disposable paint brush is the right brush for the job, rather than one of those perfect but expensive professional brushes.

So this section of the web site will lead you to those things that I like enough to promote. Sometimes I get paid for endorsing products; sometimes I endorse products to help a small company get started; sometimes I promote products just because I think you need to know that it exists. I will try to be open and transparent in these pages and I invite you to let me know if you know about similar products that are as good as or better than the ones that I list here.

Tools I like -- here is a random listing of tools that I think are particularly nifty, or that you may not know exist.

A Weatherstripped Mail Slot -- The most weather resistant and secure mail slot you can buy - it is called the Draft Dodger.

The Stanley Mobile Project Center -- Someone finally beat the WorkMate.

Oil Lift -- the ecological way to remove oil stains from concrete & asphalt

Crystal Clear -- getting the fog out of thermal pane windows

EZ-Plank Plus engineered hardwood flooring -- the DIY flooring dream

Mainline Backflow Valve -- to prevent sewer back-ups in basements

Icynene sprayed in place insulation

Trades Training manuals from the APCHQ

Do It Yourself, the 500 page book -- the DK manual to home improvements, Canadian Edition

Pan Fan air filter for toilets -- the smell filter that really works
