    Fabricated Anvil Stand

    Cleaning up some projects that have been hanging around lately. I bought this material for it back in January, and got tired of moving it around so I decided to just finish it instead today. Pretty simple fabrication to start. I might add to it later, but for now, I just want to get my big...

    Yesterday's free marketplace haul

    A local sign/router shop was looking to get rid of a bunch of scrap PVC sheet earlier in the week. Couldn't make it until yesterday when I had to drive the Wife into T.O. and setup for her Yarn show, so I had her empty trailer on the way home. Stopped on my way home to load up the scrap, but...

    Micro adjustable torque driver

    Just found out these things existed, and thought I'd share. Pretty versatile mounting options from a 1/4" hex driver, to wrench, and adjustable too. Perhaps they're old news to some, I've seen fixed ones before, just never an adjustable like this...

    Mower deck repair

    This is the type of stuff that gets in the way of the fun projects I'd rather be doing..... 60" Mower deck from my mid-late 90's F2400 kubota, not too bad of shape considering the age, but something that needs fixing.

    My swan song

    I'm coming to the end of a 20 year career in automotive fixture and tooling design/building, and finishing up a couple jobs before I starting into a new trade as a Millwright on Monday. Kinda of bittersweet knowing these will be the last jobs like this I will most likely ever do. I'm going to...

Also rehung the dart...
