What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Metallitubby]

I think I would be ok with that being my garage.

I got to move the NSX GT3 Evo (you can kinda see the front bumper between the lift arms, which was challenging due to the controls I'm not accustomed to.

Cleaned, flung, put away. Had thoughts. Wrangled Lightburn. Burnt some more status board parts.

 

[Crazyjake8493]

Milled the grain for the beer my dad and I were brewing - vanilla bourbon barrel cream ale. The rest was done in the basement. Ran the compressor just enough to blow off the grain mill.

 

[LeonardY]

I fully intended to do something. My intentions were good. My execution was poor.

 

[DGersic]

Finished sanding the patio furniture. Need to decide what stain I’m going to use on them.

Finished up the wiring for the hidden head unit. Got it all dressed up anf secured out of the way.

Painted the hinge parts for the glove box door.



Cleaned up and put things away.

That sounds great!

Details on your brewery and aging setup please.

Not today but yesterday the guessers were saying frost warning for early morning today. I put several new flowering plants that are still in pots into the garage to protect them from any frost.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I made a turbo merge and started on a log manifold!

 

[M.Brane]

Yesterday removed the EGT gauge/sender from Donor Truck. Took a while to get the probe set screw out. Just kept hitting it with PB, and the heat gun until it finally popped loose. Hope to get it installed in Tool Box Truck today before our group MotoGP viewing.

 

[69charged]

Continuing with the ceiling install. Going slow, but getting there. Supposed to rain/snow today, so hoping to get the boat in the garage so I can start working on it to get it ready.

 

[Notgrownup]

Made a pot holder/Trivet for my kitchen. It’s not perfect but hey, it’s from scraps I had laying around. First time using a dado stack ever.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Gathered tools and materials for a project across the yard. Returned with most of it. Made lists.

 

[Outlawmws]

Out in the parkways, I started transplanting some of the freeway daises that are covering the edge of the sidewalk and curb, to bare spots so we can shoot for complete coverage. Started cleaning a new to me vise. Then took a nap.

 

[LeonardY]

Cleaned up the silicone mats from my casting adventures.
I used silicone mats which had plenty of static. The loose flakes kept sticking to the mat.
I usually did my casting on a waxed piece of sheet metal. I think it was easier to clean.

Puttied some air holes in the castings.
All the while the pup watched the neighborhood.

Made some more progress on the HF bandsaw. I added some wheels, brackets to hold the power cord, and a new stopper for holding the saw vertically. I don't plan on using it in vertical mode but I wanted something better than the original setup it came with for when I need to service it.

 

[nadogail]

Began the construction of more Planter Boxes. I cut some boards to length, assembled a pair of end panels and fastened one side to the pair of ends
Tomorrow after the glue dries, I will turn it over and add the other side and bottom.

 

[69charged]

Got the boat in finally. It didn’t fit in the door opening so I had to lower the tower. Never did it before. That was an adventure!



After that it was supper. Got bored so I started ripping the decals off. Then I’ll rip off the windshield to take them to get tinted.

 

[930dreamer]

My wife and grandson went and checked the shop today. I guess it's been a bit windy in Stinnett, TX. The gangster evaporative cooler blew over.

 

[LiveWire64]

Still plugging away on the quarter sawn white oak cabinet doors.

 

[rd65]

Removed the cart from the mower, installed grass bags, mowed, removed grass bags, remounted cart for dirt moving after work during the week.

 

[swsman]

Should be done with remaining two sections of the fence tomorrow.

 

[jade97]

Oil change on the Edge, check brakes & surrounding stuff, swapped out the swollen lug nuts for White Knight solid chrome ones....new tires Thursday.

Shed:
Pulled the snow blower attachment off the tractor and installed the mower deck with new blades.

 

[snorvet]

Tried to figure out my new calculator.

 

[Outlawmws]

Tried to figure out my new calculator.

Serious calculator for its age! all the way to single digit billions?

Where is the read out?

I have no idea how it works. I need to research.

Any outside connection points or reset levers? More pics? any Mfg/Branding lables?

Maybe its a check impressing machine?

It's a Comptometer - basically an adding machine ca 1930's.

I like your display of antique tools!

I had two of those. One looked a bit like this, only curvy. Another was all open, and had iron scrollwork and pinstripes. I donated them to the state museum along with an instruction book and a pad or so of spreadsheets. In my day they were de rigueur for the up n coming budgeteer at NYS DOB. I remember collecting them all as I handed out hundreds of 3270s.

Garage adjacent in the laundry area, 'rebuilt' the clothes dryer. I had replaced bad rollers, belt and pulley several years ago with a cheap eBay or Amazon kit. Started making some lovey grinding and squealing noises on the past couple months. So, I got a factory kit, spent a couple hours disassembling, cleaning and reassembling the unit. Nice and quiet once again.

 

[Snip's]

As the Brits sometime say... I feel quite CHUFFED with myself...
In the garage today, I continued to work on the damaged circuit board on one of my shop machines...
Trying to help out the new shop owners... A new replacement machine is over $10,000.00...
The old machine has a fried board with "no longer available" components...
Well today I won the lottery, so to speak... Put my repaired board back in the machine...
Low and behold, the machine fired right up and worked as it should... The new owner was ecstatic...
He offered to pay me for my effort... I told him it's just good will on my part...
All part of keeping a good lessee of the building and keeping my ex employees employed...

On the same visit to the shop, I stopped by to see one of my renters that called me this morning with furnace issues...
Checked it out and found a broken ceramic igniter module...
I keep spares of this part that are used in the same model of furnaces in all my rentals...
It was a 15 minute job to pull 3 screws and put in a new igniter module... Hit the heat cycle on the thermostat...
Furnace works as it should...

Today was a satisfying / productive day...

If I did that to my dryer my wife would be headed out the door to the dryer store for a new one.....................

 

[kaymccampbell]

Gathered more tools and headed to the Potter's Wheel.

 

[Outlawmws]

New stem assemblies into the guest bath shower/tub.
- Why do these simple jobs always take half a day?
- why don't they sell just the parts you need anymore? $40 to replace what should have been a $10 fix.

 

[larry4406]

Kay what are you making on the wheel?

 

[rzims]

not in the shop, but right behind it.
Got the last of next year's firewood split. Now need to finish the woodshed so I have a place to store it....

 

[kaymccampbell]

Kay what are you making on the wheel?

Nothing. The Potter's Wheel is Judy's ceramic studio, where she teaches and makes all the stuff she sells. I'm just prepping the rear entrance for drywall and insulation and lighting.
