Time for another update, I’ve been spending more time at the shop lately and things are finally starting to progress. I am still working on catching this thread up though so lets get on with it. First up, I bought a shaper a few months ago. I always wanted a shaper and it was going so cheap...

Picked up this old Starrett bandsaw just after I had bought all the stuff for my cold cut saw, it wasn’t working and its missing some pieces, but I figured it would be a good back-up plan if my cold cut saw idea didn’t pan out. I finally got around to having a look at it, at first I thought...

Definitely must have been backwards!! :lol: I really like Brazil, but the "brazilification" of first world countries is no joke- there's nothing nice about Severe income inequality. It creates a lot of problems. On the other hand Moderate income inequality creates competition, and competition...

Time for another update- Did a quick little project a couple weeks ago, taking an old filing cabinet and turning it into a toolbox. Made a video about it, just me joking around (pretty sure I spent longer editing the video than making the box…) Sure would like a little feedback if you've got a...

Weather wise we've got 6 month between 15 and 25 degrees Celcius(not sure exactly what that is in inches) and the rest of the year is Hot with January and February being Hell(35-38 degrees daily). Inside the shop really isn't too bad for the most part, I think the concrete brickwork makes a big...

Thanks Tim!! And here’s some pretty unimpressive action from the shear- I bought some hold down bolts for it after this was filmed... And now for something completely different: The Saga of the Giant Bead Roller Early on(before I even rented the workshop) I made a bit of a mistake- I saw...

Great garage, looking very organised. Love that Oldsmobile!

Man I hope so, I have seen a few for sale but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. A lot of these machines are very worn out.

Quick post today- did a quick little clean up on this #4 shear, its made by a national Brazilian company called Somar. I just typed Somar in google to do a little research and it turns out the’ve been around since 1929, and happen to be the first Brazilian company to produce a bench vice...

Let me introduce the workshop, its just out back.. Down this old country road Squeeze under the old railway bridge A little more dirt road.. And soon after you will arrive at a little town which, heading down one of the 4 roads you will find my place. Here is how it looks from the...

Just dropping in after following the saga of the wheels to say that they look amazing!!! Can't wait to see em with centre caps. IMHO the cetercaps should be that dark anthracite color. Looking foward to seeing the final product. :beer:

No problem jbl!! those shots are great, makes it seem like I'm right there with ya- Glad I'm not after I saw that poop scooping one! HA! and that vertical beater spreader looks like serious piece a gear. :beer:

Yes, just get it working and make it look pretty after(if there's time) Thanks Mac!! Thanks, I've got some adventures coming up soon!! but first- Let me introduce my shop truck, This is a 2011 Ford Ranger, 2.3L Gas, 5 speed model. Its a bit smaller than the big Alberta F250s that I am...

Ok, now lets get back on track- Scrounging together a Dry Cut saw I have multiple projects in mind that will require the cutting of various sizes of square and round tubing. I don’t want to be stuck cutting everything with a grinder, it's time consuming and tedious to cut nice straight lines...

Great!! love the A/B switch idea. Thanks Sifan.
