Great idea on the hood... and as one of the audience - stop being so hard on yourself. You sound like you doing a lot of stuff... you have the list...keep to the list

I'm seriously jealous of the Unimig Tig... Debating on splurging on one come tax refund time... not that I have ever tigged before (not that it stopped me with the mig). Any insight as to why you chose the Unimig over others?

I've found similar situations... I was once a prison officer and a Senior Office I worked for when i was a probationary officer used to give almost every newbie absolute hell. One of the other Seniors pulled me aside and said you just need to tell him to "F*$k off"... the problem is you just...

Ooohhh I love those fans.

I assume/hope I'm on the list?

Nice work mate. Looking good

I've got the design of the rigid air line system sorted in my head... but what exactly do you guys use for the "flexible hose" connection between the compressor and the rigid pipe? (I'm planning on using 1/2" copper as the price difference per 6 metres is $18 - $31.90 vs $49) Something like this?

The floorboards are prefinished but I'll be sanding that off as they also have a small chamfer on each board. I didnt quite have enough for the facia but I have some blackbutt from our house floor. Next up once the desk is sorted will be the wall cabinets

I'd love either of those top two utes... I can only dream I guess

And so the project continues.. slowly... the joy of working around a wife doing postgraduate studies :) So I've gone with a bamboo floorboard for the desktop as it is solid, dense and a good price. I doubt I'd put it down on a floor but for the desk it will be fine... and not a bad price...

ScottsRX - Yeah the racking is ridiculous in price... I think mine cost around $100 in materials.. (honestly cant remember). Thought on top of it, making it myself was a case of necessity too as at the time I needed to hang a HF antenna from it (and have it survive a trip with 2000km of...

Thomas, I have to say thankyou again for your postings... I copied one of your ideas to make A large square to clamp bits I am welding to to reduce welding distortion etc Thanks!

1/2cup - Any drill press would suffice but the fact its so solid gives me confidence :) A lot quicker to drill all the holes too compared to a hand drill

Ok it's been a while since my last post... work & money have gotten in the way.. Ok as recap - I'm planning on a wall hung desk that covers two walls. The bracket was decided to end up like this So the cutting began - 65x35x3mm RHS (Painted & Australian Made) Individual arms cut - 600mm each...

So finished the wall off now.. well I covered it with plasterboard... still need to fill the screwheads and paint it.. It might not be the best job but it does what it is intended to cheaply and effectively - blocking the view of my tools from the street when the garage door is open

From all accounts it didn't have too much coming with it, some tooling etc. I decided to get something new probably... eventually... The more I think about it the more I think I've done the right thing... I like to preserve old tooling but yes I had thought it was on the $$$ side... $1000 I...

Thankfully I've recently moved back to perth and returned to fifo work. The hardware store now is only 6km away! The plan is to skin the car side to allow me plenty of access to the beans to hang stuff from

I ended up not going for the lathe... I just dont have enough knowledge to know whether or not it was clapped out. During my break I have started to try and bring some organisation to the garage and seperate/create some workshop space... So with a three car garage and two cars I've staked out...

I'd suggest seriously considering an led lightbar. I have a set of HID Lightforce spotties... but really want the fill of the led

The only thing a nudge bar is good for is mounting spotties.. and even then some of the ones I've seen arent even solid enough for that...
