Made a garden feature for the wife from an old steel basket deep frier

This, or alternatively use soldering iron to melt the hole in the plastic housing close. Other pieces of plastic like coat hangers / bottle tops can be used as filler

I actually read the OP's thread to his garage build. I envy the size of his garage/shop:bowdown: 4 Activities are mentioned: general welding; sheet metal work; working on his Jeep and WOODWORKING. Noting against woodworking but unless he has a good dust extracion system, the 1st three...

Made a tool to help with loosening the crankshaft pulley on a Nissan Hardbody in order to replace the waterpump

The 3/8 to 1/4 adapter seems to be missing

Here is my (bought) bucket storage system.

Have plugged a few myself with no problems even those that are not supposed to be permanentas stated above (not dismounting the tires)

I do not have a workshop for tools, but I do have tools. It is more difficult to carry my cars away than my tools if left outside. At least the cars are underneath a carport in front of the garage though.

On another note, I did mention that I initially wanted to extend the front on the patio cooler to accept a sunken wine cooling bucket. Unfortunately I already cut the wood before I scrapped the idea. Not wanting to waste good material, I made my wife a present. The inspiration was thanks due to...

Thanks. What was the most rewarding to me was the fact that I steered away from wood related projects all my life and I could see the end result as I went along. By no means perfect, but it was never meant to be perfect :thumbup:

Spot on it is a small band saw. It's called a Meat master so I presume it was meant to cut meat. Total height is 500 mm. I reckoned if it cut cut through bones there will be no problem with wood :)

Picked up this at our local classic car day yesterday for about $20

For a thread that started 18 months ago there is no pic of what/how the fishing hooks should look like :confused:

Your babies now grown up and there is the pram in the attic? Maybe its time to repurpose :lol_hitti

Back to the brake problem of my SIL's Nissan Hardbody. The leaking brake fluid was as a result of excessive piston travel. Here is why Yeah :shocking: This pic should feature in the WTF thread :lol_hitti Anyway, new seals (no signs of wear in piston pots) and rotors were fitted. Brakes work...
