Kimjon Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've never liked this helmet (looks wise), its clear coat was flaking off, it had shitty giant white JETPRO logos at front that looked a bit dorky etc. So I decided that I'd paint it army green, however I liked the distressed look so much when I sanded it down in preparation, I decided to clear coat it as is. If I get bored with this look, then I'll just scuff it up and go army green. But im going to rock like this for now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimjon Posted November 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2020 Soooo, I kinda fucked my knee, as in big time fucked it. No, I wasn't riding a dirt bike, a harley, scooter, motorized mobility scooter, tall bike, drift trike, gokart...nope, not even a goped. I simply went to step up onto a deck and some shit broke inside my knee. Totally unspectacular, no cool "war stories" to tell... Now my biggest problem i was about to face is that I drink coffee like water. In fact some days I don't drink water other than what comes in my coffee or beer. So I was getting kind of desperate to solve this first world problem...but never fear, a solution was in hand, introducing the copyright pending "crup holder": 17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoom Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I too was drinking coffee more than I was drinking water. Went to the doctor with dizzy spells. Doctor said I had made myself dehydrated which caused quite low blood pressure. Changed to only 1 coffee and 2L(4 big glasses) of water over the day, fixed the blood pressure in about 10 days. Regarding crutches, when I had a broken leg, I found scooting around on an office chair with wheels was really handy if I needed to carry something like a plate. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kimjon Posted November 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2020 Not finished...but you get the idea. I've made it so the top can move around in 90° increments, so you can use it in whatever position you need. Left, right, big wheel or little wheel etc...Paint to come next. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This is much better, but it kind of reminds me of my grandad's home made belt driven table saw and home made belt driven wood lathe. Both in wooden frames. They both worked fine, but were fucking terrifying. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Finished and working great! Just need to bolt it down to the concrete so I can use it without fear of it toppling over. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimjon Posted December 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 8, 2020 Full send, bolted down now and working great! The big lawnmower wheel adds a lot more velocity to the belt than my other linisher has, so that equates to faster rate of shit getting removed. The maths looks like this: Bs.M = SDF (Belt speed × material = shit done faster) Another win... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hampie Posted December 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2020 @Guypie has some concreting projects coming up so he made a concrete mixer. Works quite well. He also used the left over 3rd of a drum to make a fire pit that he sold on fb for $60. So the total cost of the concrete mixer came out as -$35. The only expense was the belt, everything else was stuff he already had lying around. 21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
