Thank you for the insight, please keep the posts and pictures coming!

I sprayed this three days ago and just in the area shown the paint is soft, everywhere else it has dried hard and smooth. I have kept it indoors above 70degs. Unfortunately I didn't notice until I was applying the transfers. I am hoping that the paint will cure before Christmas or is that just...

I really like the idea, just wondering if the box could have been "countersunk" into the bumper to retain the bumpers contour? Perhaps clearance was an issue?

Practice certainly has resulted in perfection, nice work!

Forgive my ignorance, but I have questions about boxing a frame. Is it done for strength or aesthetics? Is it welded the full length or just stitched? When the plate is added is it cut so that it is a corner weld or or does it cover the face of the open frame necessitating a surface weld...

In my previous post I had described how my Lincoln Weld Pak 155 would work great one minute but the next it wouldn't strike an arc, the wire would just glow red then melt. I received many great ideas and tips and tried them all as far as possible. In the end I took it in to my local welding...

After seeing some videos and reading about rebuilding cordless tool batteries I thought I would give it a try. I just finished disassembling my Milwaukee 18V battery pack and now I need to source replacement batteries. The info printed on them is MOLI SPE70045.1716 16 IMR-26700a Any...

Not sure if a jacket is considered a tool, if not feel free to re-post in the correct forum. Winter is almost here and I need a good quality High Visibility work jacket. The last one that I had barely lasted through the winter before literately falling apart, almost as if the threads were...

Very impressive!

I built a pedal tractor for my Grand kids. Unfortunately my wife informed me it was a bit premature as they are all still under three. I'll let you know how it goes in a couple years!

With all the input on having developed the "perfect" wind chime I think I may have to try selling them! Here is the noisy version:

A sign could be considered a tool, right? I picked this up a few weeks ago at the Roth Reunion in Manti, UT Now if I can just get people to read it

As crazy as it sounds the wind chime that I built doesn't work. I took my time, and cut the tubes to the correct lengths and they sound great when hit, wherein lies the problem. When the breeze blows the whole assembly sways and the "hammer" never touches the tubes. I have tried different...

Today as I started to weld some .120 wall tubing everything started out ok, nice "bacon frying" welds. When I paused to position my next piece and began to weld again instead of the buzz of a good arc all I got was the wire instantly turning red and just melting onto my project. No stutter...

I picked up these three tool chests the other day for $50. The large grey Craftsman was pretty beat up but I have a soft spot for old tool boxes and figured I would have a go at refurbishing it. I have seen very few that are this color and was told it might be some sort of anniversary edition...

Picked this one up last week and will post the "after" pics soon

It has only been a couple of months since I had the windshield replaced and now I have a rock chip down low near the wiper arm that has a 3" crack developing from it. Could I use a glass/tile bit and drill a small hole to "head it off" and prevent it from getting any longer? I would then fill...

I just picked up the tractor from the powder coaters and was very satisfied with the work done. After reassembly I began on the accents and trim. I think I will let the ideas marinate for a while before I start painting the grill and creating some graphics for the side. I would like to come...

Wouldn't the overunning clutch on the pull start prevent the engine from pulling the rope back in? +6 on holding the trigger open when starting

Poor planning on your part will not result in panic on my part.
