Continuing the plastic pipe organizer ideas. While I was waiting for UPS to drop off some pieces for my next project, I threw together something to hold knives and markers.

Thanks

You’re a good son

I really like all your trailer modifications. Lots of thought put into your ideas and it shows

Picked up this 12v Bosch led light so I had a decent light source to carry in my Bosch 4 in 1 travel kit. Lowe’s had it for $25, about $10 less than other sources also with free shipping

Thanks Mike. That means a lot coming from someone with your skills I’d trade a bunch of my woodworking ability for 10% of your welding skill. So many projects or possible projects and so little time to learn

Mike, OMG! Thanks so much for posting this picture. I now know what my friend was thinking of when we remodeled the front cabinetry on his coach. His coach had an old CRT TV orginal mounted where your flat screen is now. He wanted a cabinet with a shelf built to replace the original...

Get yourself some more lengths of pipe and a lazy Susan bearing then make yourself one of these.

If you're going to use a tubing cutter a lot. Bite the bullet and get a real Rigid or Imperial Eastman. Add close quarter cutters as needed especially for brake lines. My double flare and cutter set is an Imperial rebranded as Mac bought in the later 70’s. Over the years I’ve added a couple...

Depends where the repair was located in the eyeball

That’s great to hear. I’ve had a detached retina repaired in both of my eyes. I had positional requirements after both surgeries but neither were face down, thankfully. The gas bubble in my eye after the second surgery took much longer to dissipate than my first procedure. I know exactly...

Off topic but here is my DFM collection.

Scott, I bought it from these guys. https://dfmtoolworks.com/products/scratch-dent-small-carpenter-square Their scratch and dent sales are great. Made in Chicago, small private company. Good products and great people to deal with. I have several of their smaller layout tools as well as some...

I’m going to try to answer your questions but my use of my mini split may not be typical. My garage is two bays deep on one side and a single bay deep on the other. The shop bay shown in the above picture is a bit more than 16 feet deep and 11.5 feet wide. The two bay area where the vehicles...

Most of my plumbing tools are in one hand carry tool box.

Yes using a utility cart as a mechanic‘s cart works! In my experience plastic is a better choice than steel. I worked professionally in two different depts. for almost 14 years using the Rubbermaid cart I linked below. I used it for parts, fasteners, some tools, really most anything. I...
