Homemade Tools Thread

[spidr]

Lets see them. What have you built? what are you working on? What's your wish list?
We deal with a lot of specialty tools building vehicles, wether its custom wrenches or super deep sockets, post them up, share some ideas if you're willing, give everyone something to think about and some inspiration

I've already built my English Wheel and Bead Roller, and if compared to production units close to capability I'd bet I spent about 20% of what it would have cost to buy them outright, and they are 100% mine, designed for my needs. Bead roller is about to get its power drive, and my english wheel has an interchangable head to mount a homemade planishing hammer.
I'm getting read to build my belt grinder, with interchangeable heads, for everything from the long flat, to tiny radius end to cope tubes. Fully adjustable and much beefier than available units, and I'm in progress designing a power hammer, Because while I like the Sosa hammer, I have the ability to build my own, and want something a little differan

Lets see them boys.

It's about time we did this! To start I'm gonna dump some of my saved pics. NONE of these are mine (and some might seem familiar...)

Glad you finally found your way over here. I've still got your hot tub sign hanging up.

Awesome. Sadly the stained glass was in my shop when I lost it. I was just thinking about it the other day actually. That was a hard reset.

But I'm glad I'm here now too. Feels like home, one of these days I'll even get back into wheeling something more than my Pickup

Holy ****.

I just tried it again, search "made" and specify ***les only, and in "this forum only" and your thread doesn't come up.

Search "homemade" and it does.
Search sucks.

I'll move all my posts into your thread and HGTD, unless one of those mega thread mods wants to do it for me.
