What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Fixr]

Here's what i tried to describe:



Much better. You can even hang them in these holders.

We buy mosquito coils literally by the gross. And the fiberglass net holder bottom pieces work well with the terracotta holders that come with rock wool or something like that. Drop right in. makes the whole thing stay in place better.

We used those holders on a sailboat. No unsecured burning stuff onboard a boat.

Cut out a quick part earlier today.



Will weld it up tomorrow.

More knob polishing.



Cleaned, lubed, and reassembled the latches.

No used tissues?

Power drill and HF rags with Brasso lube.

Sounds painful.

Oh, different kind of knob polishing.

There's a joke in there somewhere...

No, really?

I cleaned up the blanks for the desk. I will turn them into four inch diameter dowels.

Mixed a batch of Gray Paint to match what i used the last of yesterday, i had some Black Acrylic and some White, by adding the white in small amounts; I was able to match the Gray of Yesterday.

I have been cleaning this trailer up. Bought it new about 9 years ago. Did an acid cleaner and power wash, grease, tires, tpm’s in wheels, water sealer on the deck. Ready to rock and roll.

 

[KwikFab]

Welded the brace, she's ready to go.

 

[Snip's]

Well... Today, just in front of the garage...
Oil change for the Honda and the Generac pressure washer...

 

[Old Man Roger]

Welded the brace, she's ready to go.

I would probably still hit the leading edges with a flap disc, just so it ain’t razor sharp.

I've got that same little oil sucker. It's so neat. And the pour spot is just right for filling up the waste oil jug.

Considered it but it's really out of the way.

I can't comfortably place my feet on it being that it's inward and I'm short.

Customer is 5'11 or 6'0 give or take.

Again, I’m probably just being over cautious. I’ve left some damn near serrated edges improperly using a plasma cutter by hand.lol
Obviously your brand new and properly set up table will have a much cleaner result.

Even the old table left perfectly squared up edges, no serrations at all.



Going at it by hand with a hand torch though did leave slight serrations!

Changed a noisy serpentine tensioner on the wife’s Odyssey, then got to play a bit with my stuff. Got a new Vintage Speed shifter, shift coupler, and delrin bushing for my old beetle. Started on removal of the old stuff and clean up. Brought out the old craftsman bench grinder to wire wheel the crud off the old shift rod. Always pleasantly surprised how quiet and smooth this grinder is.

Took a trip to tractor supply, but I have a hitch receiver mounted to the front of the zt.

Plan on using it with a counter weight when towing the utility trailer.

That’s a sign of your set up skill.

Decided that I wanted to change the size of the stand that I am building for my Disc Sander. Cut the rivets off of two pieces of Bed Frame steel that just happen to be the size I want.

Cleaned, flung, put away. Installed the prefilter to catch the big chips that piss off the salt injection. Cleaned, flung, put away.
It already caught a bunch of ****.

 

[Fixr]

I forgot the /s

 

[niget2002]

Rebuilt the center brace for the kitchen drawers out of 3/4" plywood. Works much better.

I had a few beers and watched Lions football. Assisted my son when needed, kinda nice.
Last weekend in Tennessee on the Dragons Tail, trans let loose. Said he was keeping up with traffic, chasing down a Lotus.

Used a few sacrifical tools today, a 14mm 6pt. socket, a 3/8" drive 2-1/2" extension, and a 1/4 to 3/8" adapter, and rigged up a way to raise and lower my drill press table with my right angle drill.
I didn't want to do anything that would prevent me from putting the original parts back together. And I didn't want to rely solely on the drill motor every time I used the press, or for fine adjustments of the table. So I drilled and tapped a hole in the side of the socket for a set screw, (in the red circle). If necessary I have a deep socket that will slide further onto the shaft leading into the worm gear if the short socket doesn't hold up. I then ground a flat spot on the side of the extension to accept the set screw that holds the original crank in place. Mounting it as I did allows me to still use the hand crank for finer adjustments as well as when I just have to move the table up or down once. I then ground the ball bearing in the adapter flat (in the green circle), so that it slides in easily, and then out of the extension without pulling the extension out of the socket.
Now, with a little touch on the variable speed trigger of the drill I can move the table up and down quickly. I don't have much room between the shaft of the press and the shield and that's why I'm going with the regular socket instead of the deep one, at least for now.

Working on a 55 T-bird for a friend. Needs some tlc, a little wiring repair and a water pump.

Yesterday I cut down some cardboard boxes that have to go to recycling on our next trip to the dump, I also fixed the seat on my mountain bike & put away some of the lingering tools on my workbench.

my only accomplishment yesterday was crushing a million boxes and putting them into another box to take to the curb...oddly satisfying!

Chasing leaks and working on the brake light wiring on the bronco.

then it’s really down to the little things to add in while driving it.

 

[nadogail]

Too bad we are in opposite corners of the country. I have 3 gallons of gray paint I need to get rid of!

Thanks for the thought.

Started cleaning up a vintage drill press yesterday. Before photos (no after photos taken yet):

"Hill climb Civic"?

Pictures, please!

Finally, got those rusted ******* bracket bolts out. Impact gun would not touch the top one. Sometimes you have to get creative, and hope for the best. I turned the jack with my impact gun, and kept my distance just in case. 2 1/2 hours to get 2 bolts out. Mercy.

I thought I might rebuild that caliper, but I'm not going to have time I have to get the back wheel off next, and then start hauling wood. Maybe this winter I'll rebuild it. Always wanted to try that. Kits are cheap enough.
