What's new

Random stuff you made.

Just another hanging rabbit cage. Just need to figure out how to make poop collection strainers now.

Testing out a homemade fly cutter I made on some aluminum. I used a blank R8 shank and made the arbor and carbide insert bar myself to use SEHT inserts. Put in some Korloy aluminum inserts tonight and went to town.

Tool holder, this one really stressed my math brain with the compound angles and tapered wall to match the insert.

I am beyond happy with the results.

don't drop your phone

your fingers go tingly when you're holding anything over such a hole?
Mine do even when I'm just looking in a drum bung with my flashlight, don't wanna drop the damn thing
 
My front line tractor (don't fucking laugh, it's the best one my dad left me) would barely pull itself out of the shed the other day. Of course haying season is upon me, and I really need that machine, but it needs a clutch unbeknownst to me until now). So I brought it to my shitty little shop that at least has a concrete floor. It's not flat or level, but it's barely better than dirt and offers some shade.

Well my idea of using an engine hoist on the front half was not gonna work.

So, I had a bottle jack, some scrap 2" square tubing, and these aluminum wheels with bonded rubber tires ( that came from a ski tuning machine I scrapped years ago).

I farmer welded it all together and got it in place, with an old hydraulic jack from a Harbor Freight pipe kinker to hold up the back end.

I have to say, it worked surprisingly well. I can only imagine how well it would work on a good floor.

I posted a few in progress shots of this a while back but here are the finished/installed pics of the solid walnut sink I was commissioned to build.

And after with new fixtures and paint to give this builder grade half bath a little life!

It sits on a floating vanity with a small drawer to stash a few rolls of shit tickets and clean towels. Behind the drawer is the controller box for the touchless faucet. I had to build the draw in a "C" shape to clear the sink drain plumbing.

Yeah, anyone who bitches about difficulties doing a clutch on a car or truck needs to try a tractor...

Did a run of show bars for dune buggies...

Swinging ten foot lengths of 2"x0.120 around gives you a workout!
