What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[stonesfan68]

This should help:
(16°C × 9/5) + 32 = 60.8°F

Equivalent of a cold winter's day in Tx

T(°F) = T(°C ) x 1.8 + 32.

Tommy

Or get close enough for horseshoes: °F = (°C x 2) + 30.

(16C x 2) + 30 = 64F

Let my bil help me put a u-joint in his truck. I told him it was bad a year ago.

And it didn't get any better during that year? Man - I hate it when that happens.
It was nice of you to let him help

I put a coat of clear poly on the the drawers I built for the pantry cabinet.
They could have gone in raw but this gives them a little protection from spills and stains. Also, given the tight clearances on drawer slides it helps keep swelling down.

Set up an air mattress and a space heater in it, as I will be sleeping out there for the next 4-5 days. We are relocating and I am heading out on tuesday, but the wife has a cleaning lady coming so I have to be out of the house and stay out until we close on that sell, this coming week. Wife and son are already at our new place.

 

[Ben Buck]

Finished up the modifications on my old HF sandblast cabinet.

New lighting upgrade, 3/8 high flow air fittings and hose to the gun, switched dust extraction to the back of the box.

Fresh air input to the left side, homemade metering valve installed at the bottom dump latch.

Muffler diffuser on the old shop vac , rivnuts around opening for easier glass cleaning and the protective film.

These changes have made a tremendous improvement !!

Only tidied up and took pics of trailer drop hitches to throw on FB market place to see if any hits come wile I am at work this week. Rather have a couple kicking around dedicated to each trailer, not a milk crate full of misc ones.

 

[lakeroadster]

Turned a Christmas Tree on my wood lathe... from the trunk of our 2018 Christmas Tree.

Continued.

I need to rework mine it's starting to blow more powder out the door than I can deal with. I want to move it out back under the lean to that I haven't built yet.

One hour of Tetris.

 

[tvtaurus]

Today I cleaned and lubed the chain on my motorcycle. And checked tire pressure and oil levels. Not much.

 

[Outlawmws]

Nothing - Day trip to get out of the house, and a picnic to avoid restaurants...

 

[joey1320]

Got a lot done today

I finally finished my twin brothers '66 Beetle. Starting great and running good. I also finished tuning my younger brothers '56 Beetle. It was acting up at idle. Nothing crazy but just time consuming.

Both cars were picked up today also. Now my driveway doesn't look like a used VW car dealer, which I totally like

 

[LS6 Tommy]

Prepped and repainted the LS6. Now it's GM Corporate Blue as a 1980 Malibu Classic engine should be.

Really cool

 

[kaymccampbell]

Cut up some steel roofing to be the temp coupling from the new furnace to the existing plenum. Once the AC comes in, I'll replace the mess with the new parts.

 

[banjopete]

Cut some simple shapes for a friend's Xmas gift ideas. Apparently they'll be door ornaments of some kind.

Swapped out my primary nozzles back to stock on the Mustang. It was running great until I decided to wash the engine. Sounds like it’s only firing on seven cylinders now.

I removed the distributor cap and found the rotor has been rubbing on the optical sensor housing too.

I have been putting off the upgrade to a digital ignition but the time might have come....

Collected tools from the box to fix a cracked flange on a toilet in the house. Adjusted hardware for the toilet repair.

Although they do provide great ballast for your bench, vises are typically used bolted to the top of a bench.

Made some room today under the 4' electrical bench to store them. They all need some type of repair or maintenance before I can use them.

 

[Rickster]

Been bored.... started cleaning out and re-organizing the toolbox. Geez.... I’ve got a lot of extra stuff! So far I have a bin of assorted tools I pulled out of the drawers.

 

[Motorman55]

Replaced the two stationary rubber feet on the big HF Predator Generator with a pair of 3" castors. Now I can just roll it around without having to lift the one side.

Im surprised that Unilite didn't leave you stranded years ago.

They were probably one of the worst ignitions ever made. A flint an steel might have been better. IDK if that's an oil filled coil or not, but oil filled coils don.t like to be laid on their side like that. I'm going to assume it's not if it's been that way for any length of time.

[16again]

Cleaned up my work bench, under my bench, pegboard and the cabinets above the work bench.
Took me 3 beers to get it all done.

 

[LS6 Tommy]

Went crazy looking for the NOS "yellow tip" dipstick & tube for my 454.

Can't find it. Figures. Can't get them anymore.

Tommy

 

[rollinlower]

More wiring on this thing, trying to find at least a pic of a turn signal switch mounted of a 60 impala lol

 

[ambenz]

Cleaned out the Mustang of all my personal stuff, expensive exterior detail kit, stand alone electronics, etc. in preparation to send it over to the Transmission shop for a new clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing, rear main seal, throw out bearing, universal joints and O2 sensors.
I will be thrilled when I get a new clutch and can drive it across country again without worry.

I'm surprised by that - I know you only drive it part of the year. How many miles?

 

[Ben Buck]

Just outside the barn.

drained and changed the anti freeze in my Ol 96 S10.

Checked with my tester- 4 disc floating - down to minus 25 ?

Hope to hell it doesn't get that cold- I despise cold weather of any type !!!

 

[Bessy]

Glued up the wine rack that I've been slacking on for SWMBO. Stain didn't turn out quite how I wanted, and I think a few of the kreg screws may have stripped, so I'll wait for the glue to dry completely before I decide whether to retry.

I can always beef it up with some strategically hidden brackets and/or dowel it from the sides afterwards if need be.

Put away all the tools from the furnace install at the rental.

 

[Outlawmws]

Put some more camp gear away, and then had to deal with the leaves I blew off the screen room roof, before the rains come later this week.

 

[wasfuzz]

Opened the doors, turned the lights to show the skidsteer I had for sale to a buyer. He wanted to low ball me but he drove 3 hrs pulling a trailer, needless to say his poker face was not very good. I let him think he beat me up over price, but we agreed on the price and I was right were I wanted to be.

 

[Mr. Roboto]

New plugs, Oil and Filter for the ride on. Just in time to put it away for the season in another week or two.

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

Put bearings in my dads car. It’s the 4th set because the other ones were not installed properly when we bought the whole assembly and the two times before that he bought cheaper ones to put in it.

I had one on my Chevelle in the 80s, hated messing with the timing curve on that thing since it was all buried under the module plate. ditched it right after I had to replaced the module.

 

[Brent T]

Finally hung this tire rack that's been laying around awhile. Trying to get more stuff up off the floor and these stock wheels for the Clownshoe were in the way.

 

[Mudnut]

Installed Land Rover 130 Defender helper springs in my 110 Defender.

Also installed a Redarc brake controller as, have been towing heavy trailers.

 

[R. Deschain]

Fabricated up a stand for my post vise out of some 1/2" steel plate and a 9" scrap hunk of I-beam.
