POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

[GoceKU]

Today i check the undercarriage on the 605 after its short fly off the road, its fine there is lots of dirt and rocks stuck i got out what i could the rest will fell off on its own. I needed the big garage so i can fix the drivers window on the white elephant No:2. With that fixed the big garage is empty and the 605 is ready to drive to work tomorrow.

NICE!!!
I'd sooner have one like that than the plastic ones I see on the Bay.
I've been looking at those but balk at the plastic part.
Any chance you will make a few more?? (hint hint)

thanks and I'm very lucky to have a friend who was able to make that dial and gear for me, otherwise I probably would have tried printing off the same stuff you can buy on eBay. Only going to make the one though - I've no way of making more of the key parts and I also don't have an SB9a/b/c to take measurements off of. I mostly eyeballed mine and drilled a hole in the apron about where it looked right and where I didn't think anything would get harmed

Today i made a small sphere for a shifter mechanism on my lathe, i used a scrap piece of 4150. I made it free hand, it's a hard material so i had to use my carbide parting tool to part it off.

Storage setup for the Jeep... making one of those kitchen slide outs... I had some wood panels from stuff that was torn down... put them to good use...

Still need to paint it with truck bed liner paint... need to add a small drawer for utensils, cut the hole for the collapsible sink, etc. But at least the most difficult part is done...

I had an unused ARB cooler slide tray... so made it so it would fit on it. This way I can slide it all out in addition on how much the drawers also slide out.

Making everything so it works and can be stored under the roll-n-lock tonneau cover.





Should be something similar to these... still gathering ideas on what else to add to it...

Oh, jeez. You are becoming a Jeep guy. I wouldn't understand.

It’s a Jeep thing

Rebuilt the hinges on the chicken house door. I had some stainless washers that were perfect size on the outside but a little too small on the inside. I could have just used a Dremel tool but decided to make a holder to bore out the inside. I than milled the center part of the hinge installed a couple of washers and the chicken house door works like new. The last photo is my repair from a few years ago.

Tim, I gotta pat you on the back for that repair job. That's why we've got the tools we've got. But I'm totally floored by the genius of your old repair!

Thanks John.
