Graphics are not mine. It's been pouring rain outside for the past few days so no outdoor pics for now.
Oh yeah, put together the portable bike/ski tuning bench too.
Very nice.Quote:

The only frames I could find with enough standover to fit my 8 year old son were cheap heavy kid's bikes.
So I built one out of thin wall aluminum.
Nice!Quote:

we built 4 of them. well, 3, the fourth is in the works. all different. this is the second one we built (me and my 2 roommates) which was achieved in a weekend by cutting apart frames we had around. now we are making them a little better from tube stock, and not cut apart old frames.

Pretty fun to ride around town, and it gets lots of comments from people.
edit: mine has a 7' 4" wheelbase. the one we are currently making (or trying) for my roommate has a 9'6" wheelbase. and the frame is a single bar instead of a triangle. dunno how that one's gonna work. got a feeling the headtube is gonna snap off
Nothing I built, but I thought the design, craftsman, landscape arch., fabricator crowd would get a kick out of these gates. Look like they were built in the 20's or 30's in Hot Springs, Va. located in Bath Co. southwest corner of the state in the blue ridge mountains, near the Homestead resort and the "Hot Spring" bath houses that've been in use since the 1700's.

Built the 14'x16' deck 2 weeks ago. There is a shitload of screws in that much trex decking, I much prefer a nail gun. Today we dug out and put down 127 16x16 pavers, 69 left to go. It has a pretty screwy pitch to keep the water out of the corner, as well as to put the pavers at a good height coming out of the shop door and at the base of the stairs. the big mistakes was not compacting and running a screed over the whole thing. instead we left it, dropped the pavers in and used a trowel to level as we went. At this point I was just handing the pavers over to the homeowner, definitely not the way I would have done things...
^^^No border? What's to keep them from moving?
Glad that's not your fail patio.
It is getting one more course along the front, and then the grass will be brought up to the edge. I'm not really sure if this will hold everything in place, like I said had this been my yard I would have done things a bit different.Quote:

Long workbench with wood from my old hot tub stacked underneath:

Not the worlds' smallest workshop, but it would be nice with some more space:

Nice stone work. We make imitation stone at work and it seems to be pretty popular. I'd take real stone any day, but i bet the fake stuff is a hell of a lot easier to install.
Had a small bonus room in my house didnt know what to do with it so I decided to make a bar room. Turned out great and now the main place people hang out.
Before and after pics
Added the keg frig and tap about a year later.
I have actually made progress on my snow cat. It looks like a cat now and actually runs.
That is awesome!!
I doubt I could ever do something like that. I still have a wooden P-51 that my grandfather and I started 10 years ago.
Major props on building that thing from scratch!Quote:

The cat has enough power to push the sand. The problem actually can be traction.
I would have built a kicker except the blade is rigged up to work right now. It is not the way it will actually be. So the blade has very little movement so I cannot do much with it.
So what are you using to control the blade height then? A servo, pneumatics, hydraulics?
