My Muncie was stuck in reverse. I pulled it out of my 66 Chevelle. I removed the tailhousing and found the rogue speedo gear floating around. Going to fix some small damage, clean the mating sources, new gaskets and throw it back in the car.
Welcome.....Unboxed and assembled my new Weber Genesis grille. About to drop a few ribeyes on it now.
He was a good student. Went off the rails a bit.
You should, you have the skill. If I tried to make one, I would be done some time in 2039.
This is where you are required to complain about and blame it on the framers!Plugging away at the drywall in the garage but ran into an issue of the back left corner stud is 1/4" shallow to the others so gonna try and find a small strip to slide up behind it and finish the back wall. only 2 walls to go then the ever so fun mud and taping /s
nah I didn't frame it lol, Garage was used as a music studio before we bought the house and they had 3 layers of drywall before and double walls behind the garage doors. I do wanna complain about them running coax cable out to the garage and not any form of ethernet/ fiber op cable when the house is only 13 years oldThis is where you are required to complain about and blame it on the framers!
If you framed it yourself, then blame it on the sub par lumber available!
I'd probably just sister a chunk of 2x to that stud, screw the drywall to the sister and be done with it.
I will sometimes purposefully take on a project that is possibly too far gone or not financially worth taking on, because it challenges me and I can very intentionally practice skills on a low-stakes project where a screwup wouldn't ruin my week. This looks like it might be one of those projects but it also looks like it might actually have some upside. It doesn't look that rotted out.Not in the garage, but a garage project.
My dad passed away twenty five years ago. He had a bunch of vehicles and this old Uhaul trailer. I ended up dragging it home a parking it in the back 40. Never thought much about until my son recently brought it up in conversation.
It's a 1985 car hauler. It's probably not any good for hauling today's vehicles, but it will be a good utility trailer hauling firewood, lumber, garbage, etc.
Anyhow, twenty-five years outside in the PNW sort of took its toll on this poor trailer. Along with the old tires and scrap metal I piled in it, branches, yard debris, and weeds took it over. I spent about two and a half hours getting it unearthed and cleaning the **** out of it.
I spent some time with the wiring harness, but it's pretty much rotted away. The surge brakes are most likely needing attention as well. New tires are also on the menu. Then there's a need to sandblast the rust and repaint. At some point, a good used trailer from Craigslist might be a better option, but I don't mind a bit of a challenge.
I would gladly keep a beer or 4 on that.Finally welded up the stand for the little couch shelf my wife wanted. I started this thing back in January but kept redesigning it in my head. The original design was way overkill.
Testing putting weight on just one corner.
And then double checking height before welding.
Working on the finish now.

I thought about something like that, but I'm using threaded inserts to bolt the top to the stand. There's not enough wood thickness left once the holes are drilled to route anything off the top.
It is 16 gauge, I think the cart is powder coated.
Would love to see how the shots are set up and what it looks like. Those pics look great and I didn’t really notice the table thing tbh.I consider my entire work area as my "garage". Of course, it all belongs to someone else, but I swing the wrenches, so....
Part of my job is photography for the pub menus. Today was our beer menu.
Back about twenty-five years ago, I did lot of food photography for local eating establishments. It was fun and profitable. Then folks decided that cell-phone pics were good enough, so that gig kinda' crashed. Fortunately, my current employers seem to want something a bit better than a cell-phone snap-shot, so I'm getting the work again--at my regular pay scale.
OTOH, I have gotten my employers to invest in some modern LED continuous lighting equipment. The stuff I did back in the day was all flash or "hot light". LEDs give one more time than "hot lights", which tend to cook things (including the photog) and are, unlike flash, WYSIWYG. Makes set-up much faster.
What I didn't much do was drinks photography. I did a little, but not much. So I'm not so much re-learning as starting over from scratch with this. Fortunately, my employers don't have the highest editing standards, cause photographing highly reflective, translucent subjects is HARD.
Before anyone mentions it, I do realize that the table isn't level. I think my next garage project will be a platform to go on top of a tripod (I have several) so I can easily level the subject and the camera.
found some cheap 1/4" x 2" 4ft poplar strips at the big box store and slid up behind the drywall and made it flush and able to screw the drywall to the stud without to much flex the screws popped through. only 1 stud and wasn't taking the whole sheet down again lol spray foam insulation so a bit hard to sister in a 2x4
