Timmeh's Workshop.

[timmeh]

Just a collection of some of the things I do/have done in my workshop.

Some may have been posted elsewhere already, I'll try not to double up.

Time on the shop floor, as a machinist finished over 10 yrs ago.
Now, just for fun, somthin' to do while havin' a brew.

One pic from the vault, to get the ball rolling.
B40 dump truck, occillation hitch.
Yes, the gap wasn't big enough. So we hung it off the back and mounted a "tailstock" on the post of the shed.

That's doing what you need to, to get the job done!

Slightly less "chicken wire 'n' duck tape" than the last one. PLEASE delete, I've managed to balls it up royally, ended up with 2 sets of pics, and having trouble with navigation doing it on the phone. I'll try again later.

Sometimes I find some good lookin' firewood too.
Salvaged legs were attached to some particleboard monstrosity, roughly sanded varnish off to leave multicolored pattern.
Top came slathered in mission brown paint, gave it a rough sand to highlight grain.
Sides between the legs are jarrah salvaged from bed base.
Slather the end result with linseed oil, an' bob's yer uncle.
