Been cleaning up my garage the last couple weekends. Now i have a spot I can actually build my work bench and get some electrical going.
Well, just so has it TIA just did a video on adhesives, and I been wanting to repair our back stoop, which is basically the same type of brick has Dan’s fire pit. I put in a order of the product they showed, should be here next week. It was currently held together with Liquid Nails, but it has since lost it’s adhesiveness, and the bricks are loose.
Looking around the house and trying to understand how a project transforms the kitchen, living room, mud room and dining room into an extension of my garage There is not one horizontal surface that doesn’t have some sort of tool or material on it.
Of course, the project room has nearly nothing in it. 🙂
Took a break from the Sunroom Rehab on Saturday and headed over to my buddy’s house and we rebuilt the rear end in the wife’s Jeep. Not a lot of pic’s but at this point we had just installed the pinion gear and set the preload on the crush sleeve.

Very cool 99! your buddy has a lift at his house I would love to have one here at home.
Awesome,I wish my garage was tall enough for a lift.
Today started a reinforced heavy duty clamp rack for my growing clamp collection. I started with my TS55REQ and a 4×8 sheet of sheathing 1/2″ and a smile. Now…….I’ve got two 48″ x7″ racks doubled up and gluing. We will see where this leads too shortly 😉
Hey Chrisk, looks like you have Jet and Bessey REVO clamps there. Which do you prefer?
I like the K bodies but I only have two 12″s. I really like the Jets though. Solid and I’ll keep buying them as I can. If I happen to score a deal on the k bodies I’ll pick them up though. They are nice
He just finished building it. It’s a 30×30 with a 2 post lift with heat!
He’s a professional mechanic as a regular day job and he has this at his house for side jobs. Super talented. His current project is S10 with a 682 CI engine. It’s on target to make about 1500 HP on the bottle. Pretty sick when it’s going down the track.
I have a pics of it somewhere. I’ll need to dig them up and post them.
This was it in before he took it all down and started building the 682.
SWEEET!!!

I’m not sure, I’ll let you know but I bought a 25′ and a 50′ 14 gauge cord, it is hi vis With a night glow strip as well as lighted ends, really nice cords, picked them at menards on sale I’ll find you the link.

They are flexzillas, easily the best extension cords I’ve ever used.
Yup
Agreed!
Just got 50′ 12-2 on sale last Saturday for running my aircompressor outside this winter.
Finally got around to organizing most of the LBoxxes I picked up recently.
– M12 Fuel rotary hammer drill in an Lboxx1
– M12 Fuel screwdriver & Right angle drill in an Lboxx 1
+ The small Wiha bit set that Home Depot had on clearance for $3 a while back. Wish I would have bought more of these because I love them!
I threw my Porter Cable 352VS in an Lboxx3 with some belts but didn’t take a pic.
I also didn’t take a pic of my Bosch MR23EVSK router kit I put into an Lboxx4. I think I’ll stick a magnet rail to the side of it to hold the wrenches and 1/4″ collet because I hate things rolling around.
I see you nabbed some terminater bits too, they look pretty nice with milwaukees.Santi_78342 wrote:

Got to break out my Porter Cable impact today,reinstalled approximately 6 feet of fence I had to take down. The County came out and helped remove roots from the sewer line.
I built a new back fence when we moved in last year along the back. The new fence gives about 3 feet of seperation between the existing chain link fence. The neighbors behind us have 3 large pitbulls and I have kids and 2 large dogs. Not to mention the folks behind us have all sorts of garbage or something of that nature in their yard. Couldnt see looking at that forever. My yard is about 70 feet wide.

Sounds like you need an electrified fence lol

My dad and I changed the wheel bearing/hub in my moms car today. It was getting tough and made a ton of noise. What was odd is that it didn’t have any play in it. The car is a 2000 Ford Explorer with 203,000 miles on it. I didn’t get any pictures of us taking the old one off but I took a picture of the tools needed to change it. We had to use his 3/4 drive torque wrench since the axle but had to be torqued to 200 ft lbs and his 1/2 drive one only went to 150. Mine goes to 250 but it is at my tech school. The reason we had two impact wrenches out is that this was my dads first time seeing the Milwaukee impact wrench and he was skeptical. I would say after using both his IR 2135 and my Milwaukee 2763 side by side I would say that the Milwaukee is within 100 ft lbs of the IR. The it was ran at 140-150 psi too.
Oooh wow that m12 sds drill, something I’ve really, really considere getting. If you’ve had any experience with corded versions of those drills can you tell me your experience with it compared?Santi_78342 wrote:

So I was trying to sleep, but as I just sliced my hand open (see whatever area forum post) I apparently have so much adrenaline in my system I cannot. Today (3pm-1am) I was trying to finish the drywall and other finishes in our kitchen. I used to Dewalt Multi-tool (power tools can only be generally used from 9-5 in my condo building due to noise and my lovely neighbors). There was this little 1×1 and metal stud left over from taking out some french doors. needed to cut this off so I could finish all the way down to the floor. Used the nail and wood attachment on my Dewalt Multi-tool to accomplish this (neighbors still complained about noise, but I had a construction agreement in to management and was in the 9-5 window, hahahah, assholes). You can see the finish along with the acrylic finish patch and fiberglass tape I used to face the stud. Was too thin to use drywall, so I am facing with this awesome product and will use joint compound over it to finish and smooth the area, Is beneath a new granite Island I am putting in the kitchen. Using all existing materials for the Island to make a more open concept. I hate how they did shit 30 years ago. Luckily they used good materials and I can reuse the granite. We will see how well my granite seam turns out on the island. I need to use a diamond dry bit on my router to smooth out the piece I am going to use.
The only complaint I have about the multi-tool is that it is loud as fuck and takes a while to cut through. a jig saw or cutoff probably would have worked better, but the multi is new and I am still playing around with it,. What do you guys think?
Well, apparently I am not a good photographer while dunk.
That explains everything lolChiTownMigrant wrote:

Looks like an interesting project, I’m not quite picturing it though, something must be getting in the way of your photography lol

Yea dude multitools kind of suck with wood but they will cut it

I took out a wall/ french doors. There is a remaining 1×1 with metal bracket that used to hold the door frame. The main reason I got the multi was to take out the grout and rasp under a few tiles I need to remove. Never have found a tool that makes it easy. Hoping it will make the job easier, preferably without breaking the tiles. They are luckily solid granite and hopefully not too brittle.
I’m just hear waiting for them to post some world of concrete video’s ….
Went to court for the fourth week in a row. (jury duty) and still have another week after this. Brutal.
Turned a zebra wood pen after work. This my own pen! I’ve made a bunch but they’ve been gifts so I finally get one!
Beautiful Chris!

Reminds me when I was first learning how to cut meat on a band saw and I had a bad grip on a beef shank and the blade snagged the bone and flipped it out of my hands, nothing like feeling your heart in the back of your throat lol.

Thanks. I thought it wasn’t anything special, just practicing, but apparently my daughter did. She wanted to keep it so now it’s on her dresser.
Some Kaizen foam and a old Pelican case

I like the horse silhoette, you have done more on the jigsaw with those three items than I have
