Hey guys, thanks for checking out this thread! Here's a project I recently wrapped up and wanted to share with everyone. Last year I designed and built a few custom metal/wood roof racks that were compatible on the BMW E10 (1600/2002) and E30 chassis. In total I built three rack systems but...

Hello all my fellow GJ members! I would like to share my newest project with you all... I recently developed my first Weekend Crafter Pack, a kit designed to encourage others to get their hands dirty and build a personalized coffee table with a budget in mind and minimal tools required...

I currently have this compact bender: I wasn't expecting anything amazing, and I'm not surprised that I'm unhappy with it. The pins don't fit snug in the holes so everything is sloppy, causing all my bends to come out crooked. Getting a square bend is near impossible. I'm trying to create a...

Kind of hard to explain in a short sentence, but I am looking to find a solution to an idea I've had for my shop. I'd like to have a stand that is anchored in the concrete floor, so that I can use my compact/tubing benders in an open space, but be able to "un-anchor" it and tuck it away when...

I've posted some of my work in here a few times and figured I'd show you guys my most recent project. I guess you could say I've been exercising my mind and hands, I'm always brainstorming new designs and trying to turn my concepts into reality. I came up with this table top design by sitting...

I'm at a point where I need to start investing in wood working tools. I mostly do metal work, but I really like to incorporate wood into as many projects as I can. I've always bought pre-cut wood from Home Depot, but I'm ready to step it up and start milling my own rough cut lumber so I can...

I'm in the works of creating my own roof racks, and they will primarily be made out of 1" square tube. I am designing my own adjustable "feet" to allow for varying sizes in roof width (I am targeting a few specific models), this is where the sleeve comes in. Basically, the sleeve will sit on...

Hello everyone, thought I would introduce myself and show you guys a bit of what I've been up to lately. My name is Mikey, and about 6 months ago I pulled the trigger on my own 800 sq. ft. shop space where I can go wild with all my projects. I have been investing all of my time and money into...
