A big wench could lift your glue lamb beam (cut with a radio arm saw) and then tighten it in place with a rat chit. Handy things those wenches. :lol_hitti

No roofs, that would be going too far, but hmmm what if.....

Great idea! I think a trip to the local thrift store is in order

Great idea and execution!

Yes and yes. Green? Everyone it seems does John Deer green not that I have anything against John Deer, I thought I would dare to do something different.

This project was placed on the back burner for a while (Grandma said the grand kids were too small to ride it) until last week when I decided to get it moving again. First issue was the steering. With the front wheels close together and on a single pivot it was "twitchy" and difficult to steer...

Even old toilet bowl brushes can be repurposed! I recently purchased a new (as in less than 100 miles of use) set of rims and tires for my Montero. The rims were badly stained from lack of cleaning and brake dust. with a bit of 409, dishwasher detergent and a toilet brush in a cordless drill...

I saw a picture of a similar table posted on Pinterest and since I had the day off I thought I would give it a go. The wood is Walnut and the framework is 1 1/2 flat stock that I had on the "bits and pieces" shelf.

It is becoming apparant now why the guy was so happy to let me have them!

I just finished this yesterday, it works great on soft woods and cross cuts but for some reason the saw wont even begin to rip cut the rough cut oak lumber that I have

When to retire a rag is always debatable but what I have learned from experience is that NEVER put them in the washing machine. I guarantee you the misses will somehow find out and its almost a sure thing she will soon be getting a new machine to replace the "dirty" one.

I was offered three pieces of rough cut Oak (dunnage) 8" x 10" x 8', thinking I could them re-sawn into usable planks I said yes to the offer. Aside from the fact these things must weigh the better part of 200 pounds each, I loaded them up and took them home. Much to my dismay, none of the...

I especially like the stand design, it all looks great.

How was the masking tape made to a perfect circle? Was it applied then cut to shape?

With lots of Grand kids I get to enjoy my hobbies on multiple levels. This year I made several trucks and even some baby rattles. I would enjoy seeing what the other "elves" are doing.

Saw this article and was just blown away with what this guy built! What kid wouldn't want to visit their Grandpa if he had a roller coaster in his back yard. Here is the link...

Instead of kicking back and taking a nap I decided to spend my Thanksgiving day hanging Christmas lights, not the regular hang em in five minutes type but those icicle kind that are wound up tight and stay that way regardless of bending, tugging, pulling and clamping. I did find some success by...

By the end of December I will have 10! All under the age of four. I had no idea that being a grandpa would be so much fun:willy_nil

I like the idea just not sure how to go about it, possibly a wood burner or maybe free hand using stencils and an engraver?

My son gave me a couple slabs of walnut a few months back and after receiving the book "Tremendous Toy Trucks" by Les Neufeld as a gift, I got to work on this years Christmas gifts. So after a bit of sawing, a little glue and a lot of sanding, I'm off to a good start. Life is good when you can...
