Too many to list, let alone get pics.
1956 Ford 600
1964 Massey
1971 429 - rebuild and put into...?
old pickup that needs shift forks
Giant pile of lumber that I need to make stuff out of
The list goes on and on and on

Then there’s projects like this. I’ve got 5 or so in process.
Scored an 800lb capacity drum lifter tilter for $50, retails for $600. Looking at it I’m thinking this is gonna change my brassy life! Then I use it for the first time. Doesn’t lift high enough and tipping it isn’t so easy. Well I’ve got this 6000 Newton 190mm stroke actuator, let me order some pulleys and get some cable and cut some brackets. Still haven’t fingered out the how but I will eventually. For tipping I might just settle for a bar that clips to the drum for leverage.

Thats really, really cool 😎Not my project but I'd love to take on something like this.
Maybe in the future when time, money, and skill will permit.

nice engine stand
Thanks my dad built it out of stuff he had laying around. The only thing that he bought for it was the front wheel assembly.

2000 ranger, explorer 302, 4r70w. 72/68 t4 turbski, twin microsquirts for engine/trans.
About 4 years into this right now. First 2 years was slow due to money. Now I've just sorta run into a talent wall. Have to make some headers and I don't even know where to start. Nevermind the toolbox, couldn't find a better pic of the garage decoration.
Last winter was too fuckin cold to be out in the garage.
Also working on putting together a 521 bbf for my camper tow truck.

Get a set of 302 flanges and order a kit like this Summit Racing SUM-670196 Summit Racing Equipment® Sprint-Style Weld-Up Header Kits | Summit Racing For $100 you get a ton of bends and tubing to screw up learning on. Make the next set out of stainless once you're a pro.
Man if you can set up twin microsquirts you can cobble some headers together, cool project!

ugh, that guy again?
Newer subarus (like after 2010?) got tubular 4-1 manifolds integrated with the catalysts
every junkyard should have a few with the cats sawed off and they're all real nice 1.5" mandrel bent stainless
that said, I'd do cast manifolds waaaaaaay before fabricated headers on a turbo, they just do a lot better in regards to cracking and leaks

Part time dumbass
I have a alaskan mill and they are a ton of work if you cant get the log up to a decent angle or put a small boat winch on them. I have started freehanding my slabs and if you cut them about 1/2” thicker than you would with an alaskan you work standing up. Before you really use the boards you need to dry them and then flatten them because wood warps as it dries. So why work hunched over when you can stand up.i could use all of those
remind me to bug you about details next spring when i can run up to the forest and grab a bunch of fallen trees

Only project I'm working on right now is PC's. My son has been using my PC for gaming and wants his own rig (instead of a PS5), so I'm using that as an opportunity to upgrade mine as well.

Lady friend from work bought this ('73 Honda CL 350). Having minimal tools and no wrenching skills it has found its way to my place, and thus I've inherited a new to me project. Lots of work to be done here, don't let the pretty picture fool you

It's bent. #ttb

Replacing the engine in this.tomorrow I'll be replacing this jet pump.
Dood!
I so don't miss shitty little pump houses and pressure tanks plumbed in retardedly.
I do enjoy a good twinpipe jet pump challenge

I use sch 10 stainless weld fittings and pipe. Way better than thin wall tube to hang a turbo from.

That is actually the most logical way to plumb it.
That is a Berkeley D10 from the early 80s the jet was cast iron and finally corroded through. The pump was building pressure then shutting off and blasting all of the water back down the well casing it to start pumping sand.
Lucky the well wasn't destroyed, it's a 4" sewer pipe casing with hand drilled perforations by my dad when he was a kid. The gravel packing is 3/8" pea gravel.
Moar pics.

ugh, that guy again?
even sch40 seems to crack eventually
the tubes get to a zillion degrees every time you open the throttle, the flanges do not
the differential expansion will crack anything eventually
I've heard that yuo can get better life by making the tubes longerwith lots of bends so they can flex easier but all I've ever done is log manifolds out of weld tees and ells

Actually...
The gate valve ( you never put a valve between the pressure switch and the P/tank)should never ever be between the pump and the P/Tank.
That should be a check valve. That is why the water was blasting back down the hole,,,But you already knew that.
The pump already has a regulator on it.
About the pressure tank.
It should be plumbed in in a fashion that when it fails you don't have to be cutting out a bunch of plumbing or trying to knock the tank full of holes with a pick axe in that little building and picking it up over the plumbing and possibly dropping it and fixing a bunch of plumbing, and there should be a union at the p/tank.
Sorry to seem like a know it all...I have done water for a VERY long time and that stuff is...Well....Stuff.
At some point you get tired of wrestling pressure tanks and see the light.
Look at it from a guy with a busted up body the next time you're installing a pressure tank. You'll see what I'm talking about.

That valve is to check the deadhead of the pump.
There's a foot valve on the jet body. The jet body failed the pump was going to stop working because of this, it was a matter of time.
There is enough room to add a union between the tank and tee if the tank fails.
I've been doing this my whole life

If you came to work for me and said that I would fire you on the spot.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You'd fire me for making the system eazy to repair the troubleshoot on site?

RIP 7/22/2023
No!
I'd fire you because you think you know everything.
Nowhere in anything did you say.(huh...I didn't think of it like that.)
You say all if your life.
You don't even know how long I have been doing this lol.
I just say a long time.
Just know.
A long fucking time.
