This definitely took some fabrication and techniques to build. A 3 hp briggs that runs without a spark plug or carb.

Went to a friends house to pick up a hit and miss engine and while I was there I got some video of his Go-Kart that I thought you fellows and lady's would enjoy. Here is the story first. He is now 77 years old, he does a little cursing, so don't watch the video if you are offended by that, he's...

After three rainy Saturdays we finally got to do our build. What started as 5 or 6 good friends, we had around 50 people show up. Some from start to finish, some a few hours and some just stopped by. We started at 8:15 AM and was smoking the tires by 6:15 PM Here is a link to the build if you...

Just wanted to let everyone know that a few friends and I are having a one day build 9/26/15. We plan to post video of the build that evening and the next morning on You Tube successful or not. Instead of trying to explain it all, here is a video showing what we are using and building. Should be...

I wanted to build a steam engine with enough power to turn an alternator to charge a battery. I used a Myers shallow well pump. Haven't built a boiler yet, but seems to run very strong on air. I did a 8 part video build on you tube if anyone is interested in building one. Here is the final...

A friends son ran into a well house on his 4 wheeler. It's turned way back, so it was not moving very fast, but them cheap China 4 wheelers are made from ****. He wanted me to do a video on the fix, but how exiting could the fix be for a 8 year old special need kid, so I juiced it up a little...

I am doing a series of all of the antique machines in my shop starting with my Brown and Sharpe #3 Horizontal Milling Machine.

OK, last one I promise for today anyway. I needed a motorcycle trailer that I could load a non running motorcycle on by myself. I started this simple single rail tilt trailer and just got carried away. This is a hydraulic trailer that does most everything for you. It's kind of hard to explain...

I built my first hydraulic wrecker when I was 22 years old. I am double that now and still enjoy building them. I build for financial reasons also. This truck would cost me 50 to 60 thousand to buy used. Not saying this one is worth that, just what the replacement this size with these options...

Wanted to do a little post on my Quincy A-4 air compressor that I made into an engine. You see this kind of thing a lot at shows, but most, if not, all are hit and miss engines and I have never seen one actually power anything, so this is what I built and how I built it. First you must...

Built this jack because I needed one for my trucks. Triangulated the hinges to make the jack stable. If you would like to see the build and a video of it working check out

Besides 5 beams in my shop that a friend and I cut on his saw mill, my shop is built entirely of crates that carried large machines from the Netherlands to USA. I done the concrete myself, found a guy that brought me leftovers from pours and I would slip him a few bucks. Took a while and done...
