What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Saxaphool]

Making a grooming tote(basically a small wood box with a handle to carry horse-show stuff to the jumping ring) for the wife for Christmas. Has some cherry boards I bought eons ago for a long forgotten project that I'm using

No, not that I know of. [emoji16]

I did an hour of research on something called some kind of ----hub. Second, I found a company that makes a slip yolk eliminator for an NVG 241c transfercase. The TC is behind a Cummins 4bta powered TH475 and going onto a 1952 L110 IHC pickup.

I learned how to ruin a brand new pushbroom.

note to self... dont use new broom to sweep up wet polymeric sand unless you are going to hose off and clean the broom properly as soon as you are done.

Agreed! Too bad I can't make one of those for my dog to get her up and off the floor and out of the way

Got the wall mounted, enclosed lift pump done. It's got emergency shutdown, low air lockout and it's all contained in a nearly flush mounted wall cabinet. You hit the main.power, open the door, run the lift, shut it down and close it all up nice n neat. N safe from flying ****.

That's a very nice jeweler's bench the cat's working on. We had to get rid of my father in law's bench. He was a jeweler and watchmaker for 40 years and wanted his bench to go to a new person learning the trade. Sold it to a kid in San Francisco with his complete set of tools for $1000. Found the kid through a watchmakers school in Seattle.

I picked up a couple of the HF Pelican rip-off cases recently. I made one up for my Foxwell NT510. I figured I shouldn't just throw a 170$ tool with another 140$ of software in it in the trunk to crash around with everything else.

I think these cases are pretty nice for how cheap they are. This one was 9$! I got a bigger one to put all my camera gear into for doing video. They are not as good as Pelican but I don't need a Pelican for this anyhow. I've seen some Pelican cases at work with instrumentation in them mounted under a machine for a thousand hours of endurance operation. The case is battle scarred and damaged and the stuff inside is clean and pristine. I've also seen people make up a Pelican case for some equipment to ride inside the cab behind a seat for a month and the case looks brand new when it's done. The HF wouldn't replace a Pelican in all situations, but it still seems pretty well built and protective and is an insane amount cheaper.

I am going to have to borrow this idea, thanks for posting! My automotive code reader currently resides in an old cardboard box, a Pelican case will be much better.

1952 L110 shorty pickup, 4X4 in answer to your question

A Craigslist shopper called yesterday and came by this morning to see a folding ramp I had for sale. I was about to ask him to leave because there were too many really dumb questions and then the daily grinding on the asking price. I finally said, "Do you want the ramp or not?" He coughed up the cash, we loaded the ramp in his truck and just before he left, he had to ask, "If I don't like the ramp, can I bring it back?" I hope he likes "*** and travel."

That's very cool you found someone in the trade to use the tools.

Mine is in rough shape, water damage to the top and inset panels, a road side find. It's just so cool and the frame is solid, I've used it for nearly 10 years (moved it from AZ to AL) all the while still planning to to a restomod some day. Would love to actually replace the delaminated plywood panels. I also picture a heavier solid top and using it for design work and leather work maybe.

Do you know what the various shaped holes in the top were for?

Course, once I fix it up, what do you want to bet the Missus will want to bring it in the house and decorate with it?

Not really in the garage, but out in the driveway in front of it. Swapped the summer rolling stock for the winter on the DD WRX.

They come with a lathe, an articulated light and lighted magnifying glass. I guess the lathe is the hardest to find. Most of the drawers and cubbies are for specific tools and accessories.

Joshua, I have re-glued laminated antique ply back together, most recently the back of an oak machinist box. Its a painstaking process, but doable... Figuring out the clamping for sheet areas is the hard part, but once setup its just waiting for the glue to dry...

Really. Hmm.

Gluing in place or disassemble?

How do you keep from gluing your clamps or cauls to the plywood?

[Outlawmws]

I did it in place as it was only the one side and fairly thick.

Wherever I was at risk for glue on the clamps or cauls, I used wax paper between.

It is sometimes a two person job to set the clamps as it was often 2X spacers, 2X4 "Pressure bars" and bar clamps on those. So yeah, entertaining...

OK thanks, never considered that. It's at least worth evaluating if the outer layer will survive the attempt, would prefer the original material anyway.

If you have access to a steamer, you might heat the really buckled parts, then slowly clamp them flat, then, even if the spring back a bit later after cooling, you should at least have reduced the buckle.

Good lord, I actually do have a steamer. Genius!

Reclaimed some space. Bought a fitted cover for my lawn tractor and moved it outside to a leanto.

I did that one winter, found out in the spring that the mice or chipmunks had dined on the wiring all winter. There was not much left. Had to rewire the mower.

 

[Outlawmws]

A lot of newer wiring insulation is SOY based plastic, so Yep, DINNER TIME!

 

[kaymccampbell]

Cleaned n organized. Did the brakes and a new exhaust hanger on the kid's car. Swapped the bucket for the snowplow on the Dingo. Parked it facing out.

Been working on my 21-22 gallon fuel tank for my off-road truck.

Got almost all day Saturday to play some more so picking up some unistrut track so I can get the tackwelded tank under there and cycle the suspension again to see if the differential hits or clears this tank.

 

[Outlawmws]

Phantom, Your baffle need some holes, or better still a one way gate from the "open" side to the pickup side at the bottom...

I'd also consider a side to side vent at the very top of the baffle.

Or lose the baffle complexity can get race fuel cell foam suitable for gasoline. Are you putting in an access plate on top like fuel cells use?

My truck decided to chuck a u joint cap going 70 down the highway, so after the tow back to the house and getting the wrong part once. Driving 20 minutes to get the correct part since auto parts store in town was now closed, it’s back together.. it sure made a hell of a racket when it hit the bottom of the cab. Lucky it didn’t fully release and smack the airdog fuel pump right next to it!!

Replaced the hard brake lines on the front of my plow truck. Just in time I guess. Snow's coming down.

started to put the rear end in my hot rod.

Finally after 2 years I mounted my Dewalt Chargers.

They are mountable?

Edit: Dang, never looked on the bottom...

I love that stainless top and backsplash/pegboard. Very nice look.

I made some new TIG rod storage tubes from 1-1/2" PVC, and organized my plumbing fittings in yet another HF parts storage case. Tomorrow I plan on making a rack to hold the TIG rod tubes, and maybe draw up some plans for a much needed cabinet for my HF storage cases.

Changed the hydraulic fluid on my Fisher plow, made a mess cleaned it all up, then plowed the driveway.
