Post pictures of stuff you have made (besides beer)

[John Beere]

Here's my deck I built about 2 years ago. Click for some more photos.

That is amazing. :rockin:

Thank you.

 

[bad coffee]

I built the whole thing, including the tank.

Some acrylic work:

My old tank, my favorite piece I've ever built:

 

[Rick500]

Very nice, bad coffee!

I'm an aquarist from way back, although I've kind of slipped out of it for the past several years.

I miss my African cichlids...

I made this. Of course the bank owns it for the next 20 years.

I am considering building a fish tank stand as well. Where did you get the plans to build it or did you kind of "wing it"?

When I'm not working on the house or making beer I make Knives and do a little blacksmithing. Here is one of my favorites, the blade is pattern-welded 1084 and 15N20 in a Merovingian/ Vendal inspired twist pattern, handle is ebony,fittings are nickel silver.

Skal!

I also built a MAME arcade cabinet a couple years ago which fits nicely next to the kegerator:

You guys do some nice work! I've done a lot of nifty things, but here are a few of my favorites.

A frame saw from ash with padauk handles:

A big bowl from cherry:

A box from some wormy oak:

A jewelry box from hickory with inlaid bubinga burl veneer on the top and woodburned lions inside:

Wanna come over and do the crawl space in my new place? Nice work!

 

[Jaybird]

I built the tower, Bimini top, the swim platform (all aluminum, TIG welded) and did the custom paint (2 part epoxy) I installed the 3500W sound system and did the frame work for the upholstry. I have since pulled the motor and rebuilt its a 400+hp 350 this boat (without tower) will do 71 MPH!!!! YA BABY

Holy hell that boat is tight... nice work.

I am considering building a fish tank stand as well. Where did you get the plans to build it or did you kind of "wing it"?

I designed and built it all myself. It's a 2x4 legs and bottom, 2x6 for the top frame with a 1/2" maple ply covering. The edging is all solid walnut I made from one large piece of wood. If i were to do it again, I'd use all 3/4" furniture grade ply and just reinforce the top. I lose a lot of space inside because of the 2x's.

the bench beside it is 1x2 frame with 1/4" ply. the walnut on that is contact adhesive glued on. They were cutoffs from when I made the trim for the tank. When I move out of where I'm living now, I'm covering the top in brown leather. (roommate's cat scratches everything now)

Oh no, baby, it's not mine... How did that get in here?

 

[user 4295]

We've got some very skilled and talented craftsmen around this place! My contribution is purely mechanical in nature. Even though it was originally created by GM, it bares little resemblance to the original with regard to performance after I got through with it, LOL!

Thats Very NICE! I like it! :rockin:

Is that Dropped spindles I see? Do you know what kind of power it makes? Must be making some power, because you put some Go Fast Be safe stuff in there. (Refferencing the Scatter Shield). I like the rim combination are those Torque Thrust!

Cheers!

Thanks Preston! No drop spindles, but the car has been lowered by about 1.5" with a competition spring kit (higher spring rate), front and rear. It's got tublular upper and lower controls arms up front. A Moser 12 bolt rear with 3.73's and Tremec TKO-600 5-speed make this thing almost too fun to drive. Almost!

I don't know if you're familiar with the body designations that GM uses, but my car is an F-body (Firebird, Camaro). I installed new B-body spindles (Impalla) that allowed me to install the larger front brake rotors (12" vs. 10" for stock F-body) and use stock style calipers.

As far as power is concerned. It is a 400 block that has been bored and stroked to 461 CI (forged crank and rods). 72cc Edelbrock heads with dished pistons to give me a CR of 10.25:1 (pump gas friendly). I had it on a chassis dyno last fall and she made 523 hp and 567 lb.ft of torque!

Here's a little video for your viewing pleasure, LOL!

 

[user 4295]

Yes, the scattershield was a no brainer as this power level. I've gotten real used to having feet, LOL! The wheels are American Racing Torque Thrust II's. They've become very common lately, almost too common, but I really like the classic muscle car look they give. The 17" wheels not only give the car better handling and a better stance, they also give me access to a much better selction of performance tires. The tires I chose have a 50's series sidewall. That provides real nice handling, but not at the expense of too little sidewall. I'm not a big fan of 19" wheels with that rubber band look of 40's series tires on these old cars.

 

[UselessBrewing]

I like it.
I put down 940 hp on the chassis dyno with 1130 torque on 10lb boost with my toy. Unfortunately during an shake down high 8 second pass, it leaned out on the big end and broke the ring land on one of the pistons, So I pulled the engine and it is in paint right now while I Research the fuel problem and choose a different Piston package.. Cant wait to get it going again. There is a Vintage drag race in two months that I hope to make. Last year no one got into the 10's (Run what you brung). I hope to walk away with the big prize!

Cheers
Preston

Ok, this thread proves we aren't 100% a bunch of drunks...we are functional drunks!

And what the hell is that acrylic thing? I'm dumbfounded

 

[bad coffee]

IT's a kalk stirrer for calcium
