    Off-road teardrop scratch-build

    When I was working for a door and window plant many years back, the guys of the shapped window dep, would use that methode to make the window frame for round windows and 1/2 round. I always think of it as very interesting when they would do it, but they never had to use hot water, but they were...

    Convert slides to digital

    I have used a flat deck slide scanner. Had to place one at the time, up to 4 slide per plate. Did around 1000 of them in a couple weeks, when ever I felt like it, with a good coffee. I was not looking for poster quality, since the slides were probable from 55 to 20 years old. But really like...

    An Axe - Seriously?

    Witch one? The machete, the axe, the pix axe, the chain saw, the bread knife, the crow bar, some would even throw the high lift jacj in there! So many to chose from. Hummm?

    white gas(coleman fuel)=unleaded fuel

    Using gasoline with a coleman stove is not really a problem like other have said, but for the fact that it will get dirty. Like a small engine, if you keep using it, it will do fine, but if you stop using it for a while, the resin created by evaporation of gasoline could become a problem by...

    Carrying Tools...Cutting Down Noise?

    Many of the things up here make a lot of sense. One of them is to reduce and combine. Many metric and standard size are so close that you do not need to carry both. And that goes for wrench and sockets. Quick example. 7/16 - 11mm, 1/2 - 13 mm, 3/4 - 19mm. Ther are other, and if you do...

    Corey, this makes more sence to me, but will all do respect, ATC tool rolls are just way to expensive to make sence to me. And they are some kind of generic, so you have to find whitch one of your tool fit where, also resulting in wasted space and $$$ So to me, fo half the price and less, I can...

    This is nice work, but I'm also in the category that would not use this in a vehicule. Too much wasted space. To use a similar space, I would go toward making a tool roll that I could lay flat and would be able to still us the remaining space for other flat items. But I still prefer soft tool...

    Offroad trailer build on 40's.

    Wow. Nice built, but I am a bit confuse. In your firts post, you were wondering why some built seemed oberbuilt. As of were you are, I think you are past that point. It will be heavy,meven before adding all you equipment. And you are taliking hydraulic lift on top of that, so you are talking...
