I really don't need another ratchet, but I kind of want to do this.

Took advantage of the Icon 40% off today to get a set of SAE crow's feet. It could be a long while before I ever use them. My thought process was that the only thing I ever use out of my late father's toolbox is his crow's feet. Figured it was worth forty bucks to avoid an argument with my...

So now that I'm kind of looking at these I see that there's some on Amazon significantly cheaper than Harbor Freight.

Ever notice that higher end aftermarket aluminum heads come from the manufacturer with the bolt holes Heli-Coiled? The only ones I've seen fail have been into soft metal that it seems like the OD was tapped sloppily. I'm waiting on my nephew to Heli-Coil a few brake rotor bolt holes in a pair...

I just looked on Marketplace. People want good money for those. How well do you think that would work for a 8.5" tread width tire mounted on an 8" steel wheel?

Pinto! A buddy had one in high school, super fun car. Somewhere I still have the Hot Rod magazine that had a silver Pinto in it with a single turbo 2.3. IIRC it ran mid-10s. I always wanted to replicate that car.

Used my Tekton allen socket set that I posted a while back for the first time today. Like I said, it won't get a ton of use, but it sure was nice to get the check plug out of my snowplow.

How would those work for interior lights for an enclosed trailer?

I'm always working by myself. Feel like I need one of these.

Yesterday I moved my press. It was where the drill press is in this photo. That was so I could put in the shelf that doesn't have anything on it yet. Made the wood frame to span the odd width section above the press. Storing race car tires up there is just temporary. My other Cannondale will go...

Had some Tekton rewards I needed to use. Got their most complete allen socket set. Won't get a ton of use, but I have a Mac ball end set that I break literally every time I use it. Hopefully, these will be more durable. It's worth it just for a little piece of mind.

Who do we like for 6 ton jack stands? I have a 35 year old pair of Mac 6 ton stands. Looking to add another pair for a project I have coming up. The project car weighs 2400lbs. total, so it's not a weight thing. I want the height of 6 ton stands. So far, I've just looked at Torin on Amazon...

The shop part of my building is 36' x 48'. I only did one big door. For the most part it works fine for how I use it, but sometimes I wish I had doors similar to what you're going to have.

Higher end race trailers come with flaps. You should be able to find out what they use for material. I feel like I've seen them mounted to the door so lay flat automatically when the door is opened then slide along the floor and form an almost perfect 90° when it's closed. I'd see if I could...

Sit in it with a helmet on. You don't think so, but a helmet takes up a couple inches.

Does it run better? I've looked at doing similar to my Stihl saw.

Is that all it came with for a handle? My first JD2 bender was manual. The handle that came with it was at least twice as long. Still tore the soles off a pair of shoes one time bending a bunch of 1 3/4" x .095".

I have twenty service centers within 50 miles of me. Eastern Iowa. Several of them are P&K Midwest branches, which are large John Deere ag equipment dealers. I noticed an Ego banner in front of one I drive by regularly the other day.

Or, how far off are the bends? A lot or just needs tweaked? Call the guy who bent the cage. Find out what the centerline radius is of the die he used. Let's say it's 6.5". Cut two 6.5" circles out of 3/4" plywood and one out of 1/2" Then cut two 10.5" circles out whatever plywood you have...
