What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[kaymccampbell]

Made up a vacuum router jig kit for the NWA, and a sample jig. Burned some fancy fish overlays for a customer. Started in with a leather cutting project test for a customer. New vent system kicks ***. Still running the 3D print to test my phone charger tray for the Escape.

Clear is cured enough to handle, so I threw the hardware in the kayak and weighed it. I still need to install the dense foam bulkheads, but it currently weighs 48lbs with the seats and footpegs.

i'm impressed!

Wow!

*I still liked the green.

 

[rd65]

Made four futile attempts at starting the ZX11...

Carbs probably gummed up as it's been parked since June. Supposed to ride it on Sunday.

Arsebiscuits.

You try just draining the float bowls? Fuel in tank will be fresher than the fuel in the float bowls. I really should start my FJ this year.

UP 4014

It was a couple of miles from me and I missed it by 2 hours, damnit. The poster wanted to know what that loud train sound was, lol. It was. LOUD train, apparently.

I had no clue and only figured it out after one of those stupid posts on the “neighbors” thingy that comes with Ring. Other than the lost and found for pets, it’s pretty lame.

I should figure that out earlier next time…[/QUOTE]

Not quite so easy on a ZX11 as it is on the ZRX11 (or an FJ). Takes major disassembly to get at the carbs.

In related news, hit the starter *** on the ZRX11 & it fired right up.

 

[dwasifar]

Not in the garage, unless you count the trips to the toolbox, but: replaced heat pump and impeller pump on Bosch dishwasher, which requires a stupid amount of disassembly. But almost every fastener is a T20 screw, so I got a chance to try out one of the new Olsa Torx driver set.

 

[pops the toolman]

Cleaned, put tools back in there homes and organized some sockets.

Where's the deck gun?

 

[niget2002]

Where's the deck gun?

I'll have to check the manual. I don't remember that being an option... Could probably strap a 50 cal under the deck bungies if needed.

 

[Maxcustody]

I have several guns that I need to sight in. Figured it was a good time to build a proper shooting bench. I have wanted one for years.

Same one I built, works great! Nice job.

 

[Metallitubby]

Used my lift to remove the new (used) engine/trans combo from the bed of the VaginaTruck.

 

[rzims]

Well, after having the barn for just over 2 years and running it off an extension cord from the house, I've finally decided to get this thing wired up and done.
Yesterday the wife and I pulled all the wires from the barn to the side of the house near the panel. (some conduit still needing to be installed)
Reaching out now to the neighbor (electrician) to see what his schedule looks like for getting the sub panel installed and final connections made.
All the outlets and lights inside the barn are done and wires ready to be connected to the panel....may actually get this done before winter. (which was actually my goal last year )

Looks great. Hope to get my range set up soon, but have to wait for the corn to come down.

 

[DeeDubz]

Two garages two different projects/fixes. First Im making a new stand for my mail box. I had some steel laying around. Im making a square tube for the post. Welds are getting a little better but still need work. I dont weld enough to be proficient.

Wife was doing laundry and heard a clank in the dryer. She was worried we'd have to replace it... Lucky it was just the belt that slipped off the pulley. It just takes a bit to get to.

Red, Blue, White, White.....where's the ground?

[Hooked]

Spent a day building a cage for the baby squirrel we rescued a few weeks back(found him laying on the ground). It was getting too big for the box we kept in so I built it a nice wire cage with included tree branches so it can get some exercise. Finished it just in time as when my wife was getting things together to feed him, he was standing on top edge of the box.
Reminds me of my youth when my brother and I would climb trees to raid a nest almost every year. Fun little buggers.

 

[dwasifar]

Woke up yesterday morning to no hot water. Water heater (only 5 years old) had let go. Called Rheem, got warranty approval, unhooked the heater, hauled it up the basement stairs and took it to Home Depot for warranty replacement (pro-rated, f-u Rheem), hauled the new one down the basement stairs and installed it, got hot solder on my finger, but had a nice hot shower at the end of it all.

As it turns out, it was Home Depot that was responsible for the pro-rated credit, and Rheem is stepping up to reimburse my out-of-pocket. So I am sorry for the calumny against Rheem, and f-u, Home Depot.

If it's going to be in metallic conduit the whole way, the conduit is the ground.

Besides: red, white and blue. America! We don't need no stinkin' green.

 

[Mike65]

I pulled the spark plugs; valve covers & removed the distributor. With a cordless drill I primed the engine reinstalled the spark plugs, valve covers & reinstalled the distributor.

 

[ZRX61]

Got one of the F350 front running boards mostly blocked out with#220 dry after spraying guide coat on them. Identified a few spots that need further repair/reinforcement.
It's actually straighter/flatter now than when it was originally installed. There were all sorts of ripples/orange peel etc that are now gone.
Heat has now stopped (outside) work for the rest of the day.

I thought So Cal was supposed to start getting a break today on the temps? The fire fighters sure need it...

it will probably be one of the whites with colored tape on it.....

Yeah, its only 96deg...

 

[isb cornbinder]

Put a little Freon in the Jeep, checked the air in the tires of erythin, and checked the oil in erythin.

Erythin

Erythromycin is an azalide, derived from the macrolide class of antibiotics.

[ZRX61]

Got a wild hair in my *** & sat on the step, in the shade outside the garage & got the 4 smaller pieces blocked out with #220 dry, sprayed some primer on those pieces.
Left those pieces in the sun to give the primer some help in kicking off.

Had my second shower of the day.

DEFINITELY done for the day this time.

Next up (NOT today), primer will be hit with guide coat & #400 wet.

 

[NUTTSGT]

Pallet to kindling time.

 

[Snip's]

Today I sprayed the concrete apron on my driveway with Thompson's Waterproofing Sealer to protect it from winter freeze / thaw...

 

[LeonardY]

Someone left the bed light on in the truck. That would be me. Hooked up the battery charger in front of the garage.

 

[rcktpwrd]

wife bought a shadow box that came locked and with no key. I removed the assembly, three small screws on the top part of the latch and two behind the lock and then cut the lock off. About four strokes of the hacksaw...

We use bolt cutters at Halfassed.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Took some quicky 1 wall test parts off the printer. Tested them against the Escape. Had great plans. Nope.

I actually don't have any bolt cutters

I thought that's what a ZX11 and a ZRX11 was for - to pluck those wild hairs.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Wow. I've had bolt cutters, of one sort or another, for over half a century. I've always considered them a basic survival tool.

Hmm.

 

[niget2002]

Got the kayak buffed, polished, and waxed. It's a boat that's going to be used and scratched, so I didn't go to the trouble of doing a full wet sand and cut before buffing. You can still see some orange peel if you look for it.

Then I tied on the bow and stern handles.

The boat looks beautiful!
You’re done an outstanding job on the boat and also on your posts about the project.
