Took some rebar and started tacking together some easy and cheap tool storage so thought would share. Spray with truck bed coating rinse and repeat My pegboard is an old evidence cage I bought at surplus but I imagine you could weld / jb weld / braze some pegboard hooks to rebar and get the...

I need to fab some simple frames around some glass solar panels. Then from the frame I will weld on some tabs for attachment. I originally thought about just some simple angle iron but dont want any lift or shift and thought maybe it would be best to just cut some C channel. My local steel...

Going to weld up a desk. Fairly certain I can steal enuff ideas on that to build the frame and top etc. I am less looking forward to making drawers and my skill set isn't at that level. It will be steel frame and wood top so the drawer could be either material. Then I googled buying some and...

I made a swing down tire carrier that came from my trailer hitch for my Cherokee and just hated it. My wife couldn’t handle the wheel (33’s) and it was cumbersome and it moved around too much. So I was thinking why not one that slides out but still gave me ground clearance? It needs to come...

My wife holds meetings where there is a ton of content filling up white boards. The white board doesnt have enuff space so they have to erase and start over a lot. Someone at her office came up with the idea of buying a 3 foot sheet of paper and having much more space. The added benefit is...

I have a tiny condo in Mexico that we try to get down to as much as we can but not enough. It is a ground floor unit where my dogs like to sit and tell the other people how important they are. The problem is that the gate is at the bottom of the stairs and is small so I fear my pups will try to...

I am putting together a tire carrier for my cherokee (will post that later) and I had some scrap steel sitting there so I made this. I figured I should build it to hold an iphone and also act as a wheel chock for a big rig. :lol_hitti My wife came out,,, looked at me and said "really". And I...

I have this amazing welding table from Certiflat. Now I may be biased as the guy that makes them is my brother but it is awesome. For some reason there is a bunch of holes in it (probably to make it lighter :bounce:) and I wanted some clamps. So then I looked online and said "hmmm I can...

Needed a 2 tank cart to hold Tig, Mig and plasma plus a tray for grinders, clamps, helmet etc. I had a sheet of expanded rusting on the side of the garage and a ton of 3/16x1 angle laying around which is what designed the cart vs me designing it. I also had 12 inches of 5/8 rod so I got some...

Took off the old leaf springs from my CJ. I was thinking it might be cool to make a shop stool from them or one of them. I am looking for thoughts on how you would design it. I have the old brake rotars from the front that i was thinking i will use as a base and i have an old steel tractor...

Buying a new house. Going to remove the pool fencing and replace. In the pic attached you can see (barely) that the former owners had the pool fence dip into concrete. It looks like when they leveled they didnt realize it was sloping so they just poured concrete and put it into that:dunno...

Anyone have any pics / exploded view of a dayton belt sander or a similar model. Had to replace the bearings on the front and for some reason I am having a heck of a time getting it back together properly. Specifically where the "truing" adjustment knob is. Feeling stupid, but irritated so...

Hi everyone. Long time lurker. I have some land in the middle of nowhere. No electricity, no water and no neighbors. I am planning on building a small cabin out there and plan to prefab most of it at home and then truck out to the land. Nothing fancy, just a 16 x 16 ish box. Later the...

Hi everyone. I am looking for some help on repairing a Craftsman Drill Press that was given to me. I am at work and asked the wife what the model number was and she sent "149.2133330" and I did a web search and it looks like this...
