So here’s where I left off on my latest project, a support or steady rest for TIG welding. Sorry, kind of picture heavy. I hope you guys don't mind a lot of pictures.lol I cut two pieces of 3/16” plate to 6” square. I think this is a bit overkill but I didn’t have enough 1/8” for the job. I...

Thank you. I appreciate the comments. Mike

The lead looks like it could be. It isn't open anywhere and has a nylon covering over the lead. Sorry, I didn't know what you were referring to. Mike

Thank you. I appreciate that. Mike

I don't watch a ton of them but I like This Old Tony, OxTools, WeldingTips&Tricks, txsviking, GreatEscape, South Main Auto and Do-Rite Fabrication. Oh, and mine of course. Mike

I'm not sure about that, I doubt it as I don't think any of the digital boroscope camera's are. The housing itself is a nice rugged cast and the switch is a sealed unit but I wouldn't trust it to go underwater. Mike

I have an OTC Boroscope/Video Camera for sale. It is in immaculate condition. Cleaned and wiped down after every use and never dropped. If you know how I treat my tools you'll understand. Also has mirror and backlight attachments included, plus carrying case and all paperwork. This has...

My order from McMaster Carr arrived yesterday afternoon. I ordered some parts for another Jeep bumper that I need to build, this one for a friend, so while was ordering I also ordered a few handles for the receivers in my benches and the transmission fixture I just fabricated. I then...

Our realtor was awesome and I am sure I was NOT an easy client. Straight forward and no BS. Couple of my siblings and my parents have used him over the past 10 or so years all with great results. He's a great guy also, fun to talk with. Gave him a list of what I wanted and he did a great job...

Back when I was racing I raced there a few times and it was awesome the way it was. Not a fan of the 4-wide myself so doubtful I'll go watch. Mike

Thank you, I appreciate that. It's been a dream come true and so much more space than my last shop. It's nice to be able to actually get between pieces of equipment when sweeping up. Mike

When I was fabbing up my work benches a couple of months ago and incorporated 2” receivers into the benches, I also added one under my welding/fabrication table. I welded it under the side opposite where I do 95% of my welding. My thinking was that I would use it to mount my small metal brake...

Checked another small item off the list last night. About 18 or so years ago I had fabricated some adapters to hold transmissions during disassembly/assembly that attached to a base plate that I also built and had bolted to my workbench. The transmission fixture is very similar the OTC one that...

Nice job. I built a small shelf for mine that mounts under my DRO but I really like yours. Mike

Very nice looking. Great job. Mike

SOLD! Mike

That looks like a HELL of a lot of work. Turned out great. Carpenter I am NOT. I can work with metal but I do not care for carpentry in the least, although I can definitely respect the skills. Mike

Blue Wolf nailed it. The bolts on the top of the clamshell clamp will accommodate a wide range of axle tube diameters. I will have to get some longer bolts that are threaded all the way to the head but those were just what I had on hand. I also will be adding some rubber along the bottom side...

For those with lathes in their shop, I have a set of 5C Collets for sale along with a storage rack. This is Shars High Precision 15-piece set that goes from 1/8" to 1" in 1/16" increments. This set is in like new condition with only a few of the collets that have ever been used and very slight...

I've had the idea of fabricating an axle stand or fixture for many years now, mainly from back when I was racing and building street rods. However, over the past 5 or 6 years now of building Jeep axles, it has resurfaced. I am tired of wresting axles around on my welding table so I wanted...
