This is why I haven't done side jobs for 4+ years. It's not worth my time to deal with the things that pop up. It does not matter what it pays if it take me away from my wife and the projects i have. I will still help friends out at their place knowing I can come and go as I please.

Thanks for the complements guys.

I used knockouts to make the holes. It is made from 16ga. CR. I will use it to hold 3 of my pry bars and 3 hammers.

Yes, I have a brake that I used to make all of the sheet metal parts.

Thank You. I have less than $100.00 including metal, slides, paint and stainless hardware. I had the angle, wood and castors.

I thought Id share some pictures of a cart I built. It was built with what I feel a cart should have for the work I do at home, it does not need to lock have a cover or sliding top which is useless to me. I sold my other cart due to lack of space a few years ago and now need something to...

We remodeled our kitchen using a Home Depot card. I think it was 5% off and no interest for 12 months, we only used it one time because they had some other offer going for your first time using the card. We also use our Capitol One for everything we can for the points. To me, it's dumb not to...

Very well executed.

Audi-VW are terrible with wiring. Especially the air bag sensors in the seats.

But why did the fuse blow?

Your entire airbag system is disabled.
