They’re basically a turny etch a sketch

Did a trial polishing steel on a mill with a tool not designed for that purpose.
It actually works, it is a diamond laced 5" angle grinder grinding cup.
The steel block is just something I found that I could clamp down.

Homemade shop tool to pull an injector on my 518 Skidder.
I was to lazy to pull the hood and the windshield and the muffler and the air cleaner

Have a similar drill at the shop where I work. Don’t use it often but sometimes it’s the best machine to do the job!

I always liked using a radial arm drill when I was in the industry. They’re fun to run!

I only used it once, but I could use a 35mm hole saw on my small bench drill.

I do everything from repairing implements and building trailers to some primitive art.

Forgot these guys

Made them for my 2 sisters to put in their bathrooms

Very cool. I have a pretty good implement story in my shop ATM. $250k, brand new, bent before it got to the field.

I like the bug!!!

THE WELDING ON THE WINGS set it off.

THE WELDING ON THE WINGS set it off.

Still the only kind of bug I'd tolerate within my vincinity.

It takes vivid imagination to come up with sculptures like that.

Lanz Bulldog is also nice

Had to build some engine covers for my 518 Cat Skidder. No metal breaks around here so use what you got
