Once you gain more experience, it won't take you hours to make tools like that.Jesus. You guys are better at this than me. I've just done the usual mutilation of cheap end-wrenches.
I definitely need to step up my game of spending hours making a tool to save seconds of time.
Lol, days?Once you gain more experience, it won't take you hours to make tools like that.
With your skill set, possiblyLol, days?
Fancy, I just use some cheap v-blocks and spin er around a ton and tappy tap and tacky tack until I get it running true.Sluggy was asking for pics of a yota driveshaft jig I had made years ago. Hard part was measuring 1000 times to make sure they were as close to the same centerline height as possible. Used the unneeded output parts from a tcase that was used for a doubler.
Stubbs made a much better looking version of the same idea too, stole this from the old site:
I don't think that thing would live very long. Those bottom "forks" aren't really made to be loaded that way. They're not much thicker than body metal.For some reason, I think I need this.
But i look at it, I can’t think of anything I would use it for.

Maybe off of a pallet and on the bench?

nahYou might try SOME measuring.

that’s my way of calling you smart blackflipoff
a rubber band works in that situation tooDon’t know if this qualifys as home made, but I needed to hold a small nut. If I dropped it where it was going, it would never be found again. Also my fingers really wouldn’t fit where I needed it. Tweezers are great, but easy to drop the nut. I slid a big nut over the tweezer and it locked the small nut in the jaws.
I've been wanting to do that to mine.While I didn’t make the picker… having 6 caster wheels is equally sweet and a pain in the ass.
I have smaller plastic wheels in the rear and steel wheels on the front 4 of mine. The small wheels help when it's all folded up and steel wheels slide so much easier when needed.While I didn’t make the picker… having 6 caster wheels is equally sweet and a pain in the ass.
Scrap metal MIG gun holder for the welding table. Converted a couple cheap f-clamps I had for table use too.
I wouldn't know what to do with new materials and clean steel to weld
I’ve made a couple of those, it’s my go to vise. Then every grinder stand has either a rotor or brake drum for the base.I wouldn't know what do do with me materials and clean steel to weld
Just slapped this vise stand together from trash and remnants. Needs some gussets and I'm gonna cut the top plate to the shape of the vise yet.
I snapped a picture of my post vise and grinder stands today. All made for the cost of the welding wire, gas and electricity.I wouldn't know what to do with new materials and clean steel to weld

I think the performance may lack (unless of course you series them up, then the performance will rock!)
