In between other paying jobs I was able to finish up my work stop for my Baileigh BS-210 bandsaw. Where I last left off I was thinking about using a piece of plate or bar stock to make the standoff for the stop from the block. However, after looking at it further I didn't care for either of...

Very nice Greg. Great look and excellent numbers.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the barndominiums. Our realtor friend who helped up look and buy our current home back in 2016 tried talking us into building one in Morgan Co. My wife was fully on-board but I wasn't. My thoughts were I wanted a nice home with a detached shop completely...

That'll make a cool little driver James. I had an '82 just like it that was my shop truck for a few years. Sold it to build my 1991 shop truck back in the early 2000's. Kind of wish I had my old '91 back. I passed you the other night on the old highway in your stepside. You were heading...

The last couple I replaced, the owners sold the bare housings for $500 each.

Here are the final pictures of the project so far. After determining the location of the clamping handle I drilled the hole then counterbored a hole large enough for the handle's base to be recessed into the block by .125". Then tapped the lower part of the hole to 5/16"-18 thread. Block...

Continuing on with the work stop. With the perfectly sized block clamped in the mill vise I set up a work stop for repeatability when I remove the block. This way I can reinsert it back into the vise in the exact same place and not need to re-index in on the part. Measuring tools at the...

So I got squirreled the other night. :eek: I was starting on a personal project and as I started measuring to make some cuts on my Baileigh BS-210 horizontal bandsaw I remember how cheezy the work stop was on this saw. The saw overall is awesome and I love it. However, each time I use the...

Saw that gold "thing" on the freeway the other day around Layton. Couldn't tell if my eyes were playing tricks on me or what. Not gonna lie, I vomited in my mouth a little bit.

That's a HARD pass..... :puke::puke::puke::puke:

See below: ^^This. I'm not what you would call a Rotopax fan boy by any means. Nor am I a rolling Quadratec catalog. I was trying to solve a very specific fuel supply related problem, nothing more. There is really nothing on my Jeep that doesn't serve a purpose as I don't install crap for...

Not to my knowledge. I know they come in red for fuel and white for water as universal indicators but I don't believe they come in any other color.

Time will tell on the movement Jeremy. I shook the hell out of it and didn't seem to get much movement of the containers in relation to the spare tire but they are empty and I'm sure going down the trail will be completely different. I like the removable aspect of this though so I hope it...

I arrived home yesterday to find a package on my doorstep. I had almost forgot I ordered a Rotopax system for the Jeep. Now let me preface by saying I HATE the looks of fuel cans or Rotopax containers on Jeeps. The ones around here are mostly on mall crawlers and don't have any idea why...

I finished up the toolbox retention block system for my Mac's Black Box last night. I set up the lower block on the rotary table using the same "high precision" gauge pin process. Then cut the radius on the block. After an initial test fit I noticed that the retaining pin wouldn't...

Continuing on.... The last few pictures from last night's work on the toolbox block. The upper block out of the rotary table and ready to determine dimensions for the mounting fasteners. Originally I was going to drill blind threaded holes in the block and mount using button head screws from...

Continued on with the machining for the blocks last night. I know this is kind of crazy the amount of time I am spending on these things and waaaaayyyyyy overkill just to cure a squeak/creak. However, I have not used my rotary table a lot over the years and I thought seeing as how I have a...

While I am waiting for the next job to come into the shop I thought I would take a couple of nights and knock off a couple personal items from my list. Last year I had aligned the headstock on my lathe. It took the better part of an evening in the shop but I finally got it nearly spot on. A...

DAMN! I used to be a dealer for Millenium as well and loved their turnaround time. This was back in the 90's through about 2012 when we got out of powersports. They were usually within about a week depending on when I sent them. Several times I received them back in the same week. My how...

Daaayyyyuuuuuumm! And I hated loading our 10.5' Northland camper on our dually truck and having to swing those front legs out enough to clear. My wife couldn't even watch when I loaded the camper, she'd go in the house.
