I put my new dynasty 200dx to good use the last few weeks building gifts for my relatives. I made my wife a wine rack, with the base being a rear brake drum from my '70 buick electra, and the post a diveshaft from my '98 z28. I wasn't sure how it was gonna work, but it came out sweet! I gave it to her today because we're gonna be out of town the next two days, and she absolutely loves it
I made stainless steel tags for the dogs, keychains for my siblings, and countertop wineracks for the folks and grandparents, you can see those here: http://detroitwheeliedog.com/v-web/g...hristmas-gifts
Being in my garage was better than fighting traffic, that's for sure!

That wine rack looks nice. She should put you a new welder under the tree for that

If I had know I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

Thanks! I've actually posted on here before, do the posts from the motorsports board and this board not add in together? Originally Posted by fun4now

There's a lot of experience on these forums, and that one thing I'm lacking!
