Pullstart 62,840 #153 Posted March 22, 2023 I needed a fancy tool for one job. A Ford Edge rear hub has a T60 bolt holding it on the spindle but the reluctor wheel on the CV shaft prevents a normal tool from working. I wanted to get the job done today, so I made one out of locally available tools. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,840 #159 Posted August 3, 2023 Not much to see here, we were too busy hustling. We have our egg layer chickens that free range most the day, with the geese and a couple too many roosters (4). Two of those will be harvested and processed soon with our meat chickens. Our meat chickens stay in the chicken tractor. Today while feeding the meat birds, the door opened up and about 25-30 got loose. I quickly shut the door and called Jada and Rylee for reinforcements. Wrangling chickens in the wide open is like catching a greased pig. They don’t much stay still and are pretty quick on their feet. Enter the repurpose project. I have had an old salmon net hanging in the wood shed for years. I don’t know where I got it, I’ve never had it in the water or even near the water. Well, I’d say a salmon net is the best chicken catching apparatus in the world! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fe - iron is magnetic Lead is soft with a low melt point, when struck against a metal object has a dead sound Zn - Zinc a harder metal than lead has a higher melt point, has a ring tone when struck against a metal object. Sorting is a tedious scutt job, I'll keep the zinc and give the lead away to someone casting bullets or fishing weights. The fry pan is zinc. If you melt both lead and zinc wheel weights together, as the molten metals cool down the zinc cools quicker than the lead forming a crust that can be skimmed off of the still molten lead. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,033 #163 Posted January 28 (edited) I was given 2 - 3' x 8' metal adjustable shelving units a couple years ago. The shelf material is 12" 16 gauge c channel. I was hoping to put them in a storage shed one day. I still may do that and use plywood for the shelves but I decided to upgrade some cheap metal shelves in my shop. Now I need to remove all the old labels and organize the bins. Before After Sorting complete Edited January 31 by JPWH 3 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,610 #165 Posted March 24 I like this topic. Hope to see some more great ideas. Made these chairs out of shopping carts. Nooooo I did not steal the carts. I pulled them out of a junk pile. When I loaded them into my truck I had no idea what I was going to do with them. Got the idea off the internet. Surprisingly how comfortable they are. Great for the back yard fire pit. 4 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great for the back yard fire pit. Man, it's a good thing we didn't have those as kids. Riding crunched up uncomfortable as heck while completely uncontrollable down the mall parking lot hills is probably what limited more runs. Doing that in comfort and style would of undoubtedly increased the amount of runs by 10 fold and probably end up with more serious crashes as a result. Once we discovered motorcycles and things with engines, that cart would've been occupied going 20-30 plus MPH easy on the end of a rope. We were all huge jackasses way before it became popular on the net. No helmets either. It's amazing how no one was killed for some of stupid things we were doing. But just like any other young person now, let's blame someone else like Evil Knevil for making us do it! LOL 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
