What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Beenman]

Replaced the diesel filter in my wife VW Polo using my new Knipex hose clamp plier.

Nice. Did you put up pics of this plier anywhere?

Spent the last two weekends working on a 17' shuffleboard construction project. In and out of the garage;

Is that Godzilla's shuffleboard? Wow that thing is built for the apocalypse.

My thoughts exactly. I've never even seen a welding table built that stout!

Building it for my nephew and he wanted a "manly", beefy looking table. Since I don't do wood, this is the lightest material I could get that still gives that "manly" appearance.

Yes, it will become also serve as an earthquake and tornado shelter.

We were thinking about welding up a trailer axle and pulling it up to Denver where he lives.

I designed where it splits in (2) 8.5' pieces, and the legs unbolt. I still have to add leg braces between the legs, powdercoat, etc.

 

[turbowoodworker]

If that is your plan, get on UShip and pull a load to make gas money. Wow. Glad I don't have to help you get it upstairs to the playroom!

Each half weighs 165 lbs, less than a wood version. Legs are probably another 20 lbs each.

It will be loaded into the back of my F150 and trucked up to Denver where my nephew has cut down and refinished bowling alley wood for the playing surface.

The toughest part of this whole project is getting the 16' tabletop into the basement in one piece.

Good Lord man....You should have used the frame off of a house trailer. It already had wheels and axles.

 

[aka Larry]

I got the new all-aluminum radiator installed in my Mustang. It's about twice the thickness of the stock unit so should help me stay a little cooler on track. Sadly all the bling of it is hidden though.

I also added a few new bling parts that were powdercoated by Leanna "The Cuda Chick". The first is a billet fuse box cover, and the second is a billet dash badge. The pics turned our crappy for some reason, but here you go:

Swapped transmissions in my TR6. Sorry, no photos, but I felt afterwards like I'd slept in a cement mixer. Perhaps I'm getting too old for this?

When you starting on the oven so you can powder coat it???


Awesome project!

I sanded the front clip of a customers car down to be ready for paint

Replaced right front wheel bearing on my buddy's 2005 GMC Envoy. I also replaced the hose the the coolant overflow tank on my 2001 Jeep Wrangler.

 

[zmotorsports]

Did a carb clean/overhaul on a customers 2001 Suzuki Marauder last night and then started to perform a 5-S on the north side of my shop to make room for new lathe and mill which will be arriving in the next couple of months.

That is about the only section of the shop that I have not completed re-organized in the past couple of months.

Mike.

 

[Ragged Earl]

I've been building myself a new gun cart for cowboy action shoots.
I still need to figure out the handle and a few little details, but it's getting close to paint prep. I'll post up some pics when it's finished.

 

[mcgyverit]

swapped the stock rear deck speakers on my DD. you would think they would last for more than 15 years. small cars are a pain to move around in, I don't know how race car cage builders do it.

 

[LS6 Tommy]

Real race cars don't have speakers.

Just kidding. I knew what you meant...

Tried to sort out what is causing stock radio on 2006 honda accord to go out intermittently. Display always works, volume works, just no audio usually following a "pop" sound.
Would replace with aftermarket if the heat/ac controls werent all integrated together. and the solution is to add a second radio below the original.

 

[Ben Buck]

I had a good friend give me this alligator wrench, " 3 "

15 and 1/2 long. Could not see it abused any longer. Probaly will never use it, but it won't get destroyed. It's in the paint booth with the first coat of primer.

Testing out the french cleat system before I do the whole wall. Strong stuff :thumb up:

 

[jreinan01]

Glued and screwed the uprights and drawers for my new 10' workbench that will probably be heavy enough that you'll need a crane to move it.

 

[Vegaman_Dan]

Made a drip oiler for the metal band saw and welded up a modified clamp light using locking pliers. Was going to work on the body rotisserie, but knew if I started on that, I'd spend 4-5 hours until midnight without noticing and I need my sleep.

 

[jsharpphoto]

I made a wrench rack for my new gear wrench ratcheting combination wrench set.

I spaced everything out how I wanted, measured the ratcheting ends for diameter, and went to town with my drill press and Forstner bit set. Then I cut out the notches with a jig saw. A band saw would have been better, but I don't have one. There is a backing piece that has some magnets sunk in to help defy gravity.

Tomorrow after the paint dries, I will superglue the magnets in place, and stick it on the wall over my bench.

 

[MonoxieChild]

Yanked the one on the right out to be replaced by the 6 speed version of itself on the left.

Worked out in the gym. Bled the big KTM brakes. Did laundry. Also considered how to install a lift system and restructure the road and mountain bike storage. There's never enough room....

VERY COOL! I am SOOOOO stealing this one!

So after soaking the Yamaha Venture carbs for 3 weeks in Sea Foam while I was in China and then putting a 1/2 can of Berryman carb cleaner in each carb I cranked it a couple of times and it runs! Although the choke has to be on full but it runs! Then I remembered about the same moment that my garage started filling up with blue smoke that I filled the cylinders with oil before I left. I opened all the doors and windows and stepped outside while it ran. looked like Cheech and Chong stopped by as the smoke was pouring out.

 

[Kevin54]

I was turning down some stainless steel. I forgot just how stringy that stuff is. Plus my lathe doesn't run coolant. And I found out that some more of my tools were stolen than I initially thought. I needed either some inserts, or I needed a holder for the inserts I have. Ended up having to order both inserts and a new holder. Machinist tools are not cheap at all. And I pretty well have it figured that a good friend (or so I thought) may be the one that happened to hold on to them. I bent over backwards to get him into the Toolroom to train him to be a toolmaker. And the day I picked my tools up after going on Disability, was the last day I have heard from him. I guess that's what happens when you bend over backwards for someone, they kick you in the nuts.

I had the same problem, along with a lot of other people. I replaced the radio and it fixed the problem.

Update on my wrench rack.

Got the thing painted and the magnets glued in. Ready to mount. View attachment 327271

And here it is on the wall, loaded up.

Looks great!

Update on my wrench rack.

Awesome work man. Looks very nice!

 

[jsharpphoto]

Thanks guys. There are things I wish I had done differently, like always. But the wrenches are on the wall, using less vertical and horizontal real estate then if they had been on individual hooks, and that's all that really matters

 

[Modern Jess]

Update on my wrench rack.

Very nice. Might have to steal that idea.

 

[AlanE]

Is it a metal door or is it wood.

metal. Here is the final. I guess it came out okay. It will have to do for now because I'm on to other projects now.

When I get time I might sand and do another coat of paint.
