    Scepter's Shop Build and Projects

    I have a little hammer just about like that. I find use for it quite often. One thing I find handy, which Robert might find offense with, is as hammer extender. I can place it where I need to strike, then hit the other face with a second hammer. That way I can minimize impact marks and...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    I had a sledding trip to parts unknown in Idaho a couple years back. Small bar for dinner, and lo and behold they had an imported pizza oven. Best pizza in town.

    I was surfing around needatrailerpart.com for the equalizer parts. Decent supply for different dimensions of parts. Some kits, some individual pieces.

    I'm shopping for an equalizer linkage setup for my work trailer right now. You should be able to buy a taller equalizer to push the spring mounts a bit lower, or use shorter links. The equalizer, at least the way I see it, keeps the weight split onto both axles when a wheel rides up over a...

    Does that model of trailer allow the rear ramp to be folded forward to lay flat on the deck if the trailer is empty?

    With a weld on jack mount on each rear corner you should be able to lift the rear of the trailer for a tire change while the trailer is hooked. I need to get some ordered for my work trailer. I hate climbing under a muddy trailer to place a jack under the axle.

    Any plans for stabilizer jacks or downriggers in the back corners so the vehicles can be driven off the trailer if unhooked from the tow rig?

    I still think there is merit to the collar that Justin machined to act similar to a double shear fastener so the clutch disc is centered using the inside and outside parameters and not being subjected to the slop in the spines.

    Different, but the same. I inherited my wife's old clothes iron so I can use it on less than pristine things that need repaired. Pretty handy before I run something through my commercial sewing machine.

    I'm bad with zip-ties. If I can get a small awl or my pocket knife into the catch, I will release them and reuse. If I have an excessively long tie I will wrap it 2-3 times then set it. I like this option on wiring looms and such things that if I need to open them up, I can cut under the head...

    Does Vlad have a full set of patterns for the various model seats? After working in an upholstery shop during my college days, this guy has it down.

    I took my daughter to Vegas for a volleyball function. We were amused when overhearing locals talk about what color rocks they have in their yard. Absolutely no grass, just a color palette from Mutual Materials I guess.
