Found a broken spanner lying in the garage. A small lick with an angle grinder...... :beer:

Made 2 fidget spinners for my grandsons. Downloaded image from Instructables website, printed and glued to pallet wood Rough profile cut with jigsaw Spinners dressed and sanded Bearing test fitted Completed spinners

Made space in my garage in order to fill it up with furniture that comes out of storage. I inherited it from my late mom. Don't really know what I am gonna do with it except for a few items.

10mm and 13mm spanners, seems I can only find flat screwdrivers when I need a philips and vice versa, welding hammer. Used to lose tape measures but not lately, why not :dunno:

Not actually today but over the weekend. Flushed the braking system of my jeep (replica :D)

I would seriously consider soda blasting the block. Soda also acts as a sanitizing agent

Made some items that's missing for the Raleigh Chopper I am restoring Chain Guard Seat Clamp

well, not actually in the garage, but will eventually give more space in the garage. Finished welding the steel structure for flat roof that will become storage area in the back of my property. Here is work in progress: Got the complete carport for free. It was cut in sections to enable...

My initial intention was to stop watery cement seeping out of the drum, fix bearings and get it operational :lol_hitti Well, my intentions got on of hand :beer:

This post reminds me of a post I saw last year when a 1st time poster barged in after just joining GJ with no introduction and said something like "Look what I bought today" with pics of 2 Ferrari's (I think :headscrat) Appeared he was only instrumental in the purchase thereof for his company...

Thanks. Won't call it a restoration though. Drum is severely pitted and very thin at places. I had to weld in new metal at some places. Planning on making a new drum later on, but 1st have to make a sheet metal roller though - the way a GJ-er would do :beer: I am thinking to post pictures of...

Completed the refurbishment of my 40yo cement mixer. Before: After:

Well, it's new to me :bounce:. Picked it up for ZAR 800-00 (53 dollars) Does need some work :lol_hitti

I think I want to :rocketwho Just the cabinets are WAY worth more then that. OK I won't say you **** - great deal. I will just go and cry somewhere on my own :monkey_pi

That's gross!!!!!!:eyecrazy: Lesson to be learned - Don't let any drunk person in your shop/garage! :lol_hitti

Yeah especially when you do a quick welding job next to the one you are busy charching. Always stand clear of a bench grinder on startup. The wheel may have gotten bumped with something and can disintegrate when picking up speed

+1 My cars are parked in front of the garage under a double carport. Inside lights, hand tools specific to your needs, cupboards/shelves for tools, workbench, vice, compressor as an absolute minimum

DIY. Pull car on ramps and use creeper to access underside. The one and only time I had an oil change done by a dealership was back in 1978 on my 9 month old XT 500 Yamaha. Two days later on a trip the engine seized up due to lack of oil. The sump plug got loose and fell out. Dealer wouldn't...

Lathe in bedroom? Always a good place to do some screwing:evil:

My garage is only 16'4"x18. If empty, I can only fit 2 medium sized cars (by South African standards) in there. As I fitted shelves, gathered some tools over the years (and junk:lol_hitti) I barely manage to park an Austin Healey Sprite and a Spitfire chassis in there. There has been some...
