Home Made

Converted what was a converted "Jet ski" trailer from a 5x10 enclosed plywood box into a utility trailer.
Got rid of those bed rails up in the attic.
T&G floor. Does great for dump runs and picking up small loads of this or that.

As said some nie stuff in this thread. Regnar, please detail your CNC build in its own thread if you have not already done so. Looks very interesting.

Home made blast cabinet. Had a cheapo HF tabletop unit that was useless except for the gloves.

I had a snow plow blade for my Bolens, but no frame to mount it to the tractor. Thanks to the helpful folks over at mytractorforum.com, I was able to get all of the measurements for an original equipment plow frame, so I made this:

Then I decided I wanted to make it angle hydraulically, so I went a step further, and added a couple of snowplow cylinders and added mounting ears for them:

The end result:

2 post to 4 post lift adaptors.

I've been thinking about making some of those for a while.

Nice Job!

Started with a pile of steel and built a CNC Router.

Some guys don't just make stuff, they make stuff that makes stuff!

I found two Shure brand tool boxes with no drawers for sale cheap on craigs list. Cost more to buy the drawers than buy the entire thing new. Cut a section from the middle and welded the upper section to the base. Took the cut off section and made doors from the sides. Took the kick plate and used it as a drawer front for a jigged up plywood drawer. some leftover H cap grab bars and a handle from a dealer parts display and done. Two strong stainless top rolling work benches for under $200.

Ok, I give up. What is it?

^ i think they call that art, 'round these parts......

 

[Regnar]

Vicegrip, the machine was based off the Mechmate Plans. You can find my build thread here a Mechmate.com My serial number is #69. I was able to build it for less than a quarter of what a Shopbot cost but took about 8 months to build while holding a full time job. Should also mention that the forum is filled with great guys that are always willing to help.

Here's some pic's of the jack under the bike lift.

Most of the stuff I build is out in the world at customer's houses or shops. However I did build this set of shop drawers that I still have around. Everything that went into this set of drawers was scrap that I had around
the garage. (Except of course the drawer glides.) Even the stain was left
over from a customer's project.
The exterior of the cabinet is 33" wide x 16" deep x 26" high. There are six drawers which measure 30" wide x 14" deep x 31/2" high. I had borrowed a customer's aluminum Keller dovetail guide to play with and ran a bunch of box joints on scrap 1x4. The box joints are glued and the drawer bottoms are 1/4" masonite (it's what I had in the garage ) that is glued and nailed to the drawer sides.
It was the first time I had ever done anything like this. It's rough but still holding my misc. **** after twenty years.

AndyGriffith, can I get a close up of the clamping mechanism for your sheetmetal break. I am making a 50" break right now and have just not been satisfied with a solution for clamping the top bar down. I thought of using the type of clamps you have there but couldn't come up with a solution I liked, has this worked well for you in terms of alignment and repeatability?

Pete, been trying to build a cheep bike table for a while now. you nailed it. Hope you don't mind if i steal your idea, thanks, D.

Dude that thing is cool.

Dude that thing is cool.

still a functional dolly, bareyly, but it is. lol.

 

[sberry]

I agree. all nice stuff. My particular faves, the last workbench, the steel rack and weld table and the hoist adapters. The steel rack is particularly good use of space as well as use of materials.

Brought back to life from being a burn out.

[Fueler]

I use this alot, And I do not have any pics of my Welding table but this will do

This is nicely done but I am wondering why and what the purpose is behind the adjustable height?
