I have started this thread to show want I made. This is not the only way to make one nor is it the best way. I work on old MX bikes. Forks, shocks and engines all pulled apart leaking oil everywhere. I don't use rags to mop up the oil as this would mean having an endless supply. Rather I perfer...

landscaper buddy calls and asks me to come up with an idea for a gate over a creek. when it rains, the water comes up and moves VERY fast! leaves and debris gets caught in the chainlink and washed the whole fence out. the idea is to build a fence that can swing open from the bottom to allow debris...

Another project where i needed a welder and a metal lathe. I needed one of these since i "retired" and have lots of chainsaws to play with. I can get chain cheaper in rolls but you have to connect the links. So i built my own rivet spinner. My dad had one years ago and i remembered how it worked....

My first attempt at a weather vane. My son helped me put it up today and of course there is not even a breath of a breeze so I don't know how smoothly it operates yet. We'll see...

I started this thread to show what I have made, I do not suggest anyone else follow my work nor do I suggest this is the only way to build a tool tidy. Experts will find this topic very boring. Today I started making a tool tidy for my welding table. My welding bay is all aluminium (floor,...

Vintage motocross bikes pre 85 and older had very small foot pegs. These small pegs offered little grip in the wet and have evolved over the years to the large ones of today. To bring these pegs up to date you can purchase large new ones if someone is manufacturing them for the bike you have, if...

This is how I made a holder, it is not the only way and it is most likely not the best way. I started this thread to help or motivate others. If you are an expert you will find this stuff very boring. Today I was sick of taking so much time to safely place my TIG torch onto the bench I decided...

Every workshop needs a bin. For housing waste be it scrap metal, filings, swarf or mistakes. I have just constructed a new workshop/Welding bay and need a metal bin for all of the above reasons. I rang all the major hardwares and the machinery shop, I then rang an industrial cleaning supply...

I have started this thread to show an air tool hanger I made. I am not suggesting that it is the best or the only way to make one. This is just to help or motivate others. Experts will find this boring. Every time I start another project I use a bunch of air tools. These air tools balance on...

I posted this on Hobart but thought I might as well toss it in here for free too, ha. Made vs buying and they are so much better. I didn't shop for price but a roll of mesh was 90$, got about 40 for labor for my helper to fabricate them. A pair of small bolt cutters and a little jig I made from a...

I broke my moms cheap plastic hot tub steps, so i decided to make her some more robust ones to replace them. They are made from 1.250" aluminum square tubing .125" wall. There are a couple of supports under the composite wood treads on each step to give the composite wood some rigidity and to...

A guy brought me this part with a big hole in the pan where something went into it. No problem to weld just layed it on a chunk of steel flat bar and welded over it with my spoolgun and 4043 wire. It held water so i would say its good to go...Bob
