BLUETOOTH WIRELESS SPEAKERS
Smartphone and tablet speakers are just too small and tinny-sounding to produce good output. But crummy sound isn’t limited to your smart devices; the cheap speakers in your flat panel TV aren’t that good either. However, you can get great sound for your smart devices and TV, simply and inexpensively, with Bluetooth speakers.
Battery-powered Bluetooth speakers are fine if you need portability. But if you largely enjoy your smart device entertainment in one area, or plan to upgrade your TV audio, choose AC-powered units. You’ll eliminate battery-charging hassles and get much better sound. Prices start at about $100 for bookshelf-size speakers and go up in price based on size, power rating and transmission technology. We’ll give you some buying advice and show you how to make Bluetooth wireless speakers work with other devices, such as your TV and old stereo equipment.

9 ALTERNATIVE USES FOR SAWDUST
Every fully stocked wood shop has a table saw. You can usually find a pile of sawdust under it, even if it's used only occasionally. If a shop has a belt sander or band saw, there's probably another pile of finer sawdust under that. Even people without stationary tools have sawdust accumulation on their workbenches.
