The Matco truck without tools in it might be cheaper than that box!jbw55 wrote:

and easier to move around ha,ha
Don’t get me wrong they are nice boxes just way out of my budget. A couple of our mechanics in our shop have them and gave about 10k for them. I drool over them everytime I go hangout out with them.

Mine too….Honestly I’d rather put the coin into the tools but if the wife leaves one under the tree I won’t complain LOL
A buddy of mine has a box like that. LED lights, stereo you name it. Sweet tool chest to be sure and he is one proud mechanic.
Had 25 yards of fill delivered today. Will be spreading and compacting tommorow.

LOL, I said the same thing as I pulled in the driveway tonight. Good thing my Dad is bringing over his tractor that has a bucket on it. Otherwise, I would be starting to panic about now 🙂
You really need to look in to getting rid of those moles!99_XC600 wrote:

Well, while not project related I spent the day with my 3 year old grandson. But it had me thinking, of all the cool projects I will be making for him. Starting with a custom step stool, so he can wash his hands in the sink. I already made him a cool name plaque, that looks like a train. Also made him a bunch of wooden cars and trucks to play with. I forgot how much fun it is to have a “little buddy” to hang out with.

Agreed, Bill Murray is on his way with some dynamite.
Yup your pretty spot on.kruton wrote:
Those Matco’s are sharp man. Any idea what that would cost? I’m gonna guess 12k won’t touch it.

A big hello from Limerick Maine….TIA style!
chrisK those ATV’s look like a damn fun time.
Thanks Pete! Absolute blast, though truthfully this was in a sandpit we stumbled across. After 30 minutes going up and down huge hills I was about to blow chunks. I’m giving the thumbs up but I though I was gonna hurl 😀
Awesome trail ride and representing my boys though!
Got up bright and early to start spreading the fill. My Dad delivered the tractor in a roll-off. 🙂 The day went pretty well, I only buried the tractor once. Used the Jeep and some chains to pull it out. We ended up using 46 cubic yard of fill and I still have to cap it off with top soil
During the course of the day, we found a couple of toads and a salamander in the fill. My daughter rescued them and set them free. 🙂

Today the window crank fell apart on an ’89 Jeep Wrangle YJ. So I fixed it. Very simple repair considering how easy it is to remove jeep doors. I made a template while it was apart, I’m thinking this jeep is going to be a ‘woody’. Real wood dash and door panels. Mostly because I can use scraps and that how you roll in a YJ
Finally I got to stay home today and play in my garage!! Work and life have been really busy and with budget cuts we all have to take on more at work but anyways we were given this bench by my in laws they were gonna trash it but I brought it home sanded it down replaced the front piece of wood that was missing and threw some stain on there it’s my first time I think I did ok now I wanna practice on something else now, I’ve also been helping my gramps redo his restroom that I will post pics of later. Hope u all had a great weekend crew!! T.I.A#1!!!!!!!
That thing looks like new Bigmike. Nice work. Better hide it, the in laws may want it back now!

Nice job Big Mike!!
For me….I got to work in my shop. With my buddy having been ill I was staying away from the shop but this week, I got my head outta my butt and went down there. I’ve been taking a woodworking class to boot so I got to mess around with my lathe after I finished up my Kapex station. I am almost done wiring in a permanent outlet for my lathe and I moved my work table over to its probably last location. Added trim boards and painted and hopefully I can start assembling my new 14″ Rikon behemoth bamdsaw!
. Thanks my brotha!! It was a small project but it felt good man I’ve been neglecting my tool junkieness lol! I have been helping my gramps with his shower it’s been great to build something with him I hope it all turns out good 😉 I can’t wait to see some updated pics of your shop bro I know everything ur doing in there is gonna turn out super sweet man!!ChrisK1970 wrote:
