About HeyDerFolks
Real builds, real tools, and honest notes from the garage.
HeyDerFolks is a DIY, tools, home-maintenance, and everyday-carry project built around real work: garage upgrades, tool organization, homeowner maintenance, equipment service, and the occasional build that fights back.
I’m a DIY homeowner documenting what I try, what works, what breaks, and what I would do differently next time. The articles here are tied to HeyDerFolks YouTube videos, but the goal is for each post to stand on its own as useful build notes — not just a transcript.
You’ll see a mix of premium tools, practical budget options, mistakes, lessons learned, and safety caveats. I’m not a licensed tradesperson; when a project involves code, safety, plumbing, electrical work, gas, structural changes, or anything outside your comfort zone, verify against the manufacturer documentation and bring in a qualified professional.
