    Made a sheetmetal workstation from scrap

    Made a sheetmetal workstation from scrap

    I didn't plan on moving it much, I figured it would be more stable without wheels and if I need to move it, I'll pick it up with my engine hoist.

    Made a sheetmetal workstation from scrap

    I've been kicking this idea around for a while. When I want to build something, but don't know exactly what I want, I let the idea buzz around in my head for a while and let it evolve. The idea for this was a multi purpose sheetmetal stand for making patch panels, and as my skills improve, some...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Inch square box section steel with the pins made from 1/2 inch round bar through on an angle and welded from the back. It runs floor to ceiling and I've put pins all the way up, I will find something to hang on the upper ones I'm sure.

    Scrap steel storage

    This is one of the first things I made for my shed, it used to all be in a drum. The guy at the metal shop thought it was funny that I was buying steel to make something to store more steel

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Haven't posted for a while, but I made this the other day. Wheel dollys are great except when you are not using them. This solved the problem.

    working with (wedding) rings

    Getting married next year, only been together for 21 years, so it's about time I guess. I told her my fears of wedding ring damage ( shorted my watch on an alternator once, that wasn't fun ) The electrical tech that worked for her had his wedding ring modified into a " C " shape, with a gap. If...

    what would make a auto tech get out of the field

    The reason I left was because I finally worked out, I enjoy it more as a hobby than as a living. It's hard to work on other peoples stuff all day, and then work on your own cars after hours. My brother still does it for a living though, and I have the ultimate respect for those that do. Any...

    work benches... from scratch

    I have 4 work benches. The wooden one ( i inherited ) used to be a kitchen cupboard many years ago, that my grandfather turned into his workbench. When I was younger, I treated it poorly. Some years later, and much wiser I repaired and repainted it. Now it gets used for light, clean work ...

    Not really the discussion I was aiming for, but what the hell. Are you guys for real. And here I was thinking the U.S. had everything there was. We can get all our spirits in pre-mix cans or bottles.
