General Tech What did you work on Today?

[glockman]

Finished this the other day but forgot to update this thread.

I'm pretty happy with it so far! Only plans are to cut out some various holes in the upper shelf to hold some tools in place.

Makes me wonder why more carts aren't made from bent tube. Seems to fit the use better. Round tanks, rounded handle. Looks great!

I was just going to reply to your original cart post. I was gonna say expanded as it doesn't collect grinding dust. Looks good sir

I agree, ended up wanting to just get it finished so I used some 1/8" that I already have. Overkill but hey it's done. Thank you!

Thank you! I will say, this was another project that I was asking myself why I just didn't buy one about half way through. More work than it's worth, but at least it should last forever.

I'm not entirely happy to hear this, since I'm planning on starting building a new cart pretty soon.

It might have been the warmer days talking 😁

It has been kind of a whirlwind weekend. Left Thursday around 4 pm for Tonapah to do pit support for some good friends who were racing V2R. Did pit 5,8,10,13 for this bad ass group of women that battled back and forth with last year's winner only to come up a little short. Not going to complain about a hard fought second place.

1400 miles over 48 hours....I was wiped out Saturday. I regrouped for today and got the end blocking, last bit of rebar and bracing in place today. A little bit of skid steer work then braces and I will be ready to fill my Lego blocks.

I put a hole in my wall. Redoing the kitchen that's on the other side, and opening it up a bit in the process.
The floor is standard 80s particle board, and flexes so much the tile on top of it is cracking. So, it's coming out down to the joists and getting replaced.

Little man helped me service my RV AC yesterday.

Also this.
Some Dodo painted this YZ125 frame the wrong color blue (it's horribly wrong light sky blue not the metallic OEM "Reflex Blue" or "Deep Purplish Blue Metallic C")
So I'm stripping it with aviation remover and my pressure washer. (Should take a few more coats and maybe wire wheel).

I ordered a new Tom Woods driveshaft today for my land cruiser. They said they'd have it done tomorrow, and when I said I was heading out on a trip, they said they'd try to have it done by noon! Im excited to get it installed, and stoked at their customer service!

I had the tires balanced today and that smoothed the ride quite a but. Tonight I pulled my old shaft out. No pics, but hopefully it'll solve my vibration issues and I'll know for sure tomorrow when I drive it.

Kitchen floor is finally done. Now to deal with the rest of it.

In an effort to be more @Herzog like, I started a welder cart:

Not as cool as a Carl or Shane project, but I glued up some metal too. These are new race stands for Ian's growing MTB team. These run for $200 each retail, I put a pair of them together for about $100.

I spent a good part of the day fixing my daughters XJ that was overheating and puking antifreeze. The system needed a flush, new antifreeze, a new radiator cap (the old one wasn't holding any pressure), and a different electric fan. It seems much better now. Now I have to figure out an exhaust leak around the manifold area.

No fair, with your plasma table wizardry

I was busting my ass to get this Jeep ready for a trip to Colorado this weekend. Then I did this to the axle seal. The Jeep is staying home. I broke up with it for a while.

I did more welder cart stuff. It's mostly done, but still need places for the welders to sit, and a bottom shelf. And a bottle restraint system.

 

[Herzog]

Man, now I have to put bigger tires on mine.

This was last Thursday, but after ordering my driveshaft on Wednesday late-afternoon I got the call Thursday morning it was ready. I left for my trip to Wyoming and detoured up to Ogden to get it.

After paying for it, I installed it in Tom Wood's parking lot. I was amazed at how fast they got it done. Great customer service! If I ever need another driveshaft, it'll be a Tom Wood's!

SO awesome to drive without front diveline vibes!

I need to add to my "needed" list...wire coily-uppy spots, and TIG wire storage. (that's why both machines are pushed to one side)
