I have six of these portable work stands that I purchased from Harbor Freight over the years. When I'm not using them and they are stored they always seem to be in the way. I saw on a YouTube video posted by Defender Chassis where he had them hung over a doorway for storage purposes. Seems like...

"I also have to have all my outlets screws vertical,..." And I thought wanting all my three-way light switches in the down position when off was a problem. :)

Take a look at illustration 10 in the 7,000 pound lift drawings and diagrams on the Backyard Buddy website. That will show you their cable routing from the ram to the top of the post.

VDubJoe Great job! Something you might also want to make is a table top to make the stands even more useful. I used a 1/4" MDF panel which I strengthen with 1" x 2" alder screwed in from the top. The longitudinal stringers are set such that there is snug fit to the insulation. The only thing I...

K13 Thank you for the link. Very similar to the tool that Icengineworks sells only homemade. This is the kind of solution I'm looking for. I like how they are using a degree wheel to set the angle. I happen to have one of those from when I rebuilt a Ford 289 20 years ago. I think I'm going to...

I'm fabricating the plumbing for the cooling system on my 1967 Mustang Fastback build using a Coyote 5.0 engine. I need to take a 90° "J" bend and cut it down to 57°. I need to cut along a radial line towards the center of the bend. The tubing is 1.5" in diameter and the bend radius is one...

That is a tubing straightener. You can find them at Eastwood among other places. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-handheld-tubing-straighteners-3-16-1-4-3-8.html Britt

I've been using Fusion 360 now for about a year and have been pretty happy with it. It is free to use for hobbyists. For a subscription it is $40 per month or $300 per year. I just received notice that on Amazon Prime Day on July 12 they will offer a one year subscription for $25. Not a bad...

While a bummer for you and your customer it is another opportunity for us to learn from your amazing skills. Thank you for sharing.

Nothing really fancy. When I built my house in 2005 I designed the cabinets in the great room to accommodate a specific Samsung DLP television. It fit perfectly in the opening. Fast forward eleven years later, the Samsung DLP needs to be replaced and televisions are much smaller for the given...

I finally finished this project. I want to thank everyone that took the time to read my post and respond. There were a lot of good ideas and approaches. I did look at a few of them. Maybe I'm stuck on the term "two-part epoxy". Maybe I liked the statement "Polybonder" on the packaging. Maybe it...

Again, I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions. I decided to go with the tack in place, bend and tack as you go approach. I'm pretty satisfied with the results given that this is my first time. While not the correct attitude to take it will be covered by carpet and a console...

I have not abandoned you. I apologize for taking so long to get back to the group but I've been involved in other tasks around the house and the shop. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to read and respond to my original post. The information was very helpful. I'm now finally...

I'm installing a Ford Coyote engine and a Tremec T56 Magnum transmission into my 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback project. I read that with the proper clearancing on the transmission this combination would fit without needing to modify the tunnel. However, I was not able to get the angle necessary on...

Has anyone glued sheet urethane to plain or powder coated steel? I made a three inch riser for my floor jack as I've encountered times when I cannot jack a car high enough to do what I need to do under it (such as install a transmission). I want to glue a piece of sheet urethane to it to...

Nothing special here soap or dispenser wise. I've been using Boraxo powdered hand soap for 25 years or so in my garage and shop. Although it can be hard to find sometimes. The chain grocery stores don't seem to carry it so I buy it at our locally-owned markets. And when I do I usually buy all...

I've used Belmetric in the past and have been very happy with their service. Britt :thumbup:

Very nicely done. :thumbup:

I have three Rigid 400 series lever benders. The 3/16" is Rigid Model 403; the 1/4" is Rigid Model 404; and the 3/8" is Rigid Model 406. I've been very happy with them. The have the tightest radius that I could find. I ordered then from Inline Tube Company which is where I also purchased the...

Walt Where do you source your plugs, sockets, terminals, connectors, etc. when you modify a late model Ford harness? I'm putting a Ford Coyote engine in my 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback build and I suspect I'll need to modify the harness to be able to route the harness so it is hidden. I hate to...
