I have a truck to tow, so i was thinking about getting a travel trailer or a 5th wheel. I saw someone use a garbage truck for this once it was two story and bad ***

So I'm looking for an trailer home for a few years till i can save up for a deposit on a home and i was wondering if anyone knows anything about it or knows any good resource sites. I'm pretty sure i want to buy an old 32 ft model and redesign the interior. I have floor plans and such like...

I am nice weld

Thanks for all the great posts i have nobody really to draw on for good advice, but if anyone knows of a great book to get some body work skills from id appreciate it. Right now i'm just practicing so id imagine this will take a few years to get good at haha. Thanks GJ again!

I recently bought a hammer and dolly set to practice some body work, but it didn't come with a shrinking hammer. I checked online and i can't see them anywhere. How do body work people shrink their metal? thanks

Yes! and if your good with negotiating you can get even more off. if your serious about ur career then this is one of the best places to get quality tools as once you leave college you don't get the discount. But being in college means ur poor :(

Are SK ratchets any good? I'm looking to pick up a set

That seems to be the case but i can't get it to budge. I can't get any torque on it as it's down inside the pump case.

thanks for all the great responses lots of food for thought :) this site is quite awesome

I'm gonna go for the home made welder, that's a great idea and my old one died a few months ago so it's worth it. Right now i'm stripping down the engine to restore it (and because i like to fiddle.) and i came across an annoying little hiccup. I don't know what it is but it's a nut type...

I don't think it'll be cost effective a generator head is like 140 bucks :/ plus the 100 dollar alternator so that's expensive as hell

thanks for the tips it's a honda motor 5 hp. i'm gonna take pics and start work tonight.

So i had a crazy idea about converting my old pressure washer to a generator for power. (the pump is broken on the pressure washer, so it's not worth anything) Any initial thoughts on if this is a bad/good idea. or if it's ever been done before. Thanks!

I bought a HF tool cart and use it currently as my main tool box. I like the quality of it. I didn't know that was a tool cart i had the image of this little roller cart with no draws and an open top.. It's very nice though

What would you suggest for roller carts? plastic or metal?
