Wow, I am so past overdue for an update on here that I frankly have no idea where to even begin. Being away from this thread for some time has showed me how fast time flies and how much actually happens on a day to day basis, when you reflect on it. I feel like life has changed so much since my...

Hi friends! :beer:

Damn, a 40k mile e36 M3, that's awesome! It looks immaculate. The S52 is a sweet motor. Congrats on the purchase

Thanks for the motivation bump drivesitfar! I actually left the shop early today because I'm not feeling well, so I'll take some time to update this thread right now. The coffee shop has been up and running for a few months now with a really positive response. They are doing great! I still...

Man, what a cool build. I really like the aesthetic you've created, top quality job on everything. I dream of being able to build my own shop one day and deck it out the way you have. Also, just a quick tip for you. I've noticed that you respond to people in separate replies. If you'd like to...

Thanks a lot man! My "business venture" has been a roller coaster to say the least. To be honest I still have a lot of fine tuning to do. While it's becoming more profitable, it hasn't reached a level that I'm fully comfortable with yet. I still have my months where nothing seems to be working...

Part 2! While I was having fun with our new table saw, I decided to try something different and ended up coming up with a new idea. I glued some plywood together, cut it into triangles, glued those triangles together and created my own hexagon: Which I later cut into little slivers (or...

Wow I just realized that there are several comments on here that I haven't seen yet! Thanks for the love everyone, as always, it's much appreciated! I'm gonna have to split this update into two separate posts since it's so long. So here's part 1: I figured since I had some time tonight that I...

I can't thank everyone enough for the positive comments I've received on my thread. Although I am extremely late to answer, I've read them multiple times and am always uplifted by your kind and insightful words. I've been so busy with my daily duties that I hardly have time to sit down anymore...

Thanks everyone! I'll get some photos of it mounted on a car once the new owner of the rack sends me some!

Thank you I am honored to hear that coming from you! I definitely plan on TIG welding more in the near future, I've been practicing a little bit here and there. As far as the open crossbars, I can see where you're coming from. I was thinking that since the ends are open, it will allow for...

Thank you Yes I beveled all the edges before welding, it's just not shown in the pictures. Thanks guys!!

That's a lot for the nice comments guys! Thank you! I haven't weighed it yet but it's really not that bad for what it is. I'll weigh it soon and post up the numbers. Yes those inside welds always drive me crazy when it comes time to smooth welds out, they're always such an eyesore. My method...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I'll post some photos of it mounted on the car with ski's attached as soon as I get some from Andrew in a few months. white6589: thank you for the suggestion, I agree with you and I actually considered doing this at first but didn't want to give it away...

Haha thanks man, gotta cover all the different forums and build threads :thumbup: Thank you! Thank you! The rack is actually going to a guy named Andrew who is currently building up a BMW 2002, if you look back to the beginning of the post it explains who he is and why it's designed the way...
