Show us something that you MADE...

Sometimes there just isn't time for pritty. Took me half a lifetime to figure that out.

Beautifully nice.

Been working on this case for my wife's Ipad in hopes that the next time my boys drop it, I wont have to replace the digitizer...





Tried something new- molding the leather by soaking it and keeping it formed to the shape I wanted until it dried out. Had to make an Ipad "blank" to hold the shape but it seems to have worked pretty well!





All molded and ready for some stain / super sheen.



Viola.







Might still add a handle and make a few changes but she's going to use it for a while and we'll see how it works.

Not so much made, as refinished.

The main staircase in my house was carpet. Wife and I decided to make it hardwood to match the downstairs flooring. My friend's brother-in-law does flooring for a living and is starting to branch out on his own. He did the work on the treads, while the wife and I did all the handrails. The stairs were done in May. We just got around to doing the handrails 2 weeks ago.


Stair treads taking shape.





The finished stairs and now the sanding has begun.





Progress














More progress












And finished project.

At first I was scrolling down and started to say "Why the hell is he painting nice wood black?!?"

Then I got to the last pic and said "Damn, that looks classy!"

Thanks, it's a really dark stain from Cabot called Midnight. If you see it in person you can see the wood grain still. When I did the first coat of stain I had a little panic attack of "Oh shit, what have I done" because of how drastic the color change was.

I make this a while back. VW trike.



Here are some homemade kick boats that I made.




I am currently making this, Not done just yet. I also have it in the little light trailer thread.

I was thinking the exact same thing!!

Great job ALL!!

You are a genius!!!! I am building that when I do my next oil change!!!

i had a '98 Grand Cherokee that i converted from 2wd to 4wd. one of the many little things i did for it was to install a snorkel. at the time, ARB (Safari Snorkel) didn't have a model FOR the ZJ... however the one for the Nissan Frontier fit the curves nicely. problem was getting the snorkel plumbed to the intake. i found the cure in the form of an ammo can i had in my shop and a few bits from the autozone shelf.







the important thing to remember is that the purpose of the snorkel is to keep water out. so "free flowing horsepower blah-blah" is meaningless if your intake was 2" lower than the water you got sucked into.

however, i would like to point out that if i wanted "horsepower" all i needed to do was to pull the lid from the ammo can. that setup actually worked wonders for my jeep and saved my engine twice.


i miss that Jeep...

:huh

My neighbor wanted a mobile rolling party bar for our periodic block parties. I cobbled this together using various bits of scrap and no real plans. It will have a stainless steel dry sink with bucket drain and pull out ice chest in bottom. Now my neighbor is adding LED light strips all around. The bar will be shared among 4 neighbors for various events.

I see your spaghetti and raise you one octopus.
