HighLUX Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Sounds like a sweet project and i like the idea of divining for water, giz a yell if you need a surface dude to pull up the buckets of clay while you shovel them out 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you have thought of this but watch out for carbon monoxide poisoning to, if you have anything running in or above the hole. Learnt the other day how little it takes to farrk ya system 2percent shes all over. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The only advice worth giving in this instance is simply don't fuckin get into the hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 My kids keep hanging onto my house garage door like monkeys and getting lifted up by it as it opens...little fuckers@!!! No matter how much I yell or threaten violence (that's half true) they wont stop, until I hear "dad...dad...dad...!!!" Yup - door finally shit itself. Quick YouTube tutorial and I'm suddenly an expert on all things doors... Springs pretension set. New track with a belt drive to replace the now fucked chain track system...and viola...all sorted. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kimjon Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 Now you may be wondering how I achieved this engineering marvel... Well there's an entire chapter on health and safety written on the use of ladders... I ignored all of it, getting this 80kg colossus glass backboard all the way up there by myself. Its wose than you'd think, the glass backboard is one part, the hoop is separate again, and all of it is held in place by 4 M10 bolts with next to no room to access them. #suffersfromashorthose 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if one of my wives friends comes for a visit...who knows, I wouldn't rule it out. Some of the fucked up positions they wedge their vehicles into always has me scratching my head in bemusement!?? 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Straight to the pool room! I had some scrap stainless steel that has been taking up room in my shed. The plan always way to make something furniture related, however I only had a limited amount of material to work with. After some careful thought, I realized that I could make a bench seat out of it, and not a scrap more... Cutting and tig welding it together along with some smacks from a big hammer...all this activity at 8am is sure to please your neighbors? *Insert bender joke* Folded and tig welded to keep it together. I had to do it this way due to the sizes of the scrap I had to work with. And finished. It's not perfect...but I had to work with the limited resources I had. Theres a few dia4mm holes in the left side that were in the material already, but hey you can hardly notice it and it was free...so calling it a win! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimjon Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 On a mission today. Rifle scope mount welded to angle iron. This will hold a solenoid valve, that in turn is connected to a timer switch. This will automatically drain the water out of my compressor... Test fit Yup, nice! This will work, so paint it and install it tomorrow. Small things...but makes life easy if you never need to think about it again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
