As noted in my Lego collection thread I ordered the UNIMOG set. It showed up Tuesday morning via FEDEX. This is a huge set, at 2048 pieces! 16 bags of parts plus the wheels/tires, an electric motor and the battery box. There was four sets of bags, numbered 1-4, with varying number of bags...

As I'm sure many on here (that live in the snow belts) know, the snow plows can reek havoc on our mail boxes and posts. My current mail box is twisted in the ground and leaning over about 10-15 degrees. So I came up with an idea to make a much sturdier stand. Using 3/16" thick 1" angle iron I...

I came across several used horse shoes while cleaning off the work bench, and putting stuff in my "new" tool box setup. Was trying to come up with something to do with them. So I decided to make a flower planter for my mother. (she loves it by the way!) I forgot to take pics as it progressed...

Meet up with Ranger McLaren and his wife, last Saturday, to check out the Goodguys car show. Thought I would share some pics of the cars/trucks I thought were cool. F100 Ranger! Mid 70's, but I don't remember the exact year. Bad ass tow truck, dubbed towmater sr! real clean Ranchero...

At the meet and greet we did at Jim's place, couple of folks were wondering what is that I do for a living. Well simply put I work on semi's, and this was a little project I worked on Sunday night. I messed up and realized I needed a before pic, after I started to tare it apart so the in...

Nice Bill! don't forget to send Jim a note so he can re-add you to the list!

I decided to bring home the top box from my work to use at home, since my tool collection is getting to big for my small craftsman box here. Needing some storage space I wanted to build a "cart" for this thing to sit on. Got started on it today; I'm using some 1" square tube that has an 1/8"...

let me know what is being brought by whom so I can update the list. Also, Jim you said we could use another table? I did manage to find a 4 foot round glass top in my shed I could bring out there, haven't found my folding table yet though.

sawzall no, but i do have a 4" angle grinder with cut off wheels! Need use of an impact while we're there? I could load my compressor and 1/2" and bring them with me.

Hey Matt I could pick ya up and drag ya long in my hoopty!

alright if you wanna do sodas, I will bring hot dogs and buns? we need the others to voice their opinions on this stuff!

June 25th is good for me as well. I will bring a big ol cooler (or two if I can find both) full of ice and sodas. Unless specified I probably won't buy any diet soda, but there will be a variety.

I'd definitely be interested, I could bring a big ol' tent if that's cool. Just give us a day and what to bring! (hopefully it's not a Sunday I work Sunday nights)

I have a cap on the back of my truck now (2003 FX4) and I'm wondering is there somewhere I can tap into the third brake light wiring? I've been searching the wonderful world of the interwebs with no luck. I have an idea for a wiring project, but I would like to be able to make the brake...

We had discussed a Lego V8 engine in another thread and I mentioned it would make a great addition to my collection. Was told to post up some pics of my models. So here it goes. My largest model so far, it's over 24" long has a working boom and outriggers. This next one has four wheel...
