Mag, I too remember watching you back in the day. You were on PBS early Sunday mornings and I made sure I was up to watch. You always made me chuckle. I recognized you instantly and the workshop setting (barn). Subscribed and liked! Can't wait for more!

[@markhodgson2348]

Your infectious laugh was guaranteed to brighten our day xxx

[@cbrisalchemist6887]

😂🎉❤😅adorable presentation. Thanks for the chuckles.

[@AlanJEdmonds]

I feel guilty for laughing with you when it went wrong, but I liked your determination and how you saw it through to the end.

[@toolgirl]

That's okay - I WANT you to laugh. It's such a DIY fail!

[@shirleymatlock]

OMG Mag Ruffman - I remember watching this first time round on TV....how many years ago??? ....... kept a VHS copy for years. Sooooo funny !!!. Another favourite was the welding ......will be watching all your stuff again....just love your content and your style. 😘

[@WhichDoctor1]

just found this randomly and at first sight wasn't sure if this was an old TV show or some really committed modern content going hard into the retro vibe. Honestly, I'd watch a craft youtuber with this aesthetic

[@Darryl603]

You have an absolutely wonderful imagination! Thank you for sharing : )

[@richardpo3605]

LOVE YOU SO MUCH

Once my mgr.-ess handed me filter dimensions WITH the ["] symbol, RRRUFF! I dropped to one knee and proposed holy matrimony. She was like Mag! 🥰

[@toolgirl]

I'm sure you made her day!

[@markhodgson2348]

Oh it looks like the scene in close encounters of the third kind😅😅😅

[@toolgirl]

“This MEANS something…” (cue the mound of mashed potatoes - or hypertufa)

[@bm0078]

Cool Mag but be careful not to splash any on our Healey🤭.. Cheers, Bernie

Noted!

[@yasmineatmani592]

Please, i dont understand, you said : 1 cement, 1 sand , 2 peat moss and in the video you mixed 1of each only. So the question is : what is the right ? What you said or what you did ? Thank you

[@toolgirl]

Sorry for the confusion! Here are several basic recipes that work well: Basic mixtures: (Mix thoroughly and let it sit for ten minutes) The Classic - 1 part Portland cement, 1 part sand, 2 parts peat moss The Smoothie - 1 part Portland cement, 1.5 parts sand, 1.5 parts peat moss The Lightweight - 1 part Portland cement, 1 part peat moss, 1 part perlite, 1 part fibermesh (little pieces of fiberglass to add strength) The Sparkly - 1 part Portland cement, 1 part peat moss, 1 part vermiculite
