What did you build this week?

I "built" some parts for the tps delete on my fcr39mx carb for the dr 650. Deleted the bulky tps and tps housing, turned up a plug with an o ring and made a retainer, then drilled and tapped for a manual idle adjuster, as well as an adapter collar to mate it to the stock air box.

Nice! Sign me up for a pair of those gloves, please! (Incredible Hulk size)

Making some wannabe motosuka gloves, just dyed them...they're drying then I gotta oil them.

Isn't the TPS needed for the ignition system?

Not sure any American DR650s came with a TPS. I guess we'll find out if his bike doesn't run. LOL

Matt as far as I know it's only used at WOT and for mainly emissions reasons.

Nope, not on the dr650. Most people snip the wires that leave it on.

Nearly finished with my new work bench for home brewing. Just need to buy and cut the ply for the lower shelf.

I first saw the stray cats in 1980, seen them a few more times since then and its always a great night out, seeing the undertones and also ministry in a few weeks, can't wait
 

Make was the wrong word...sorry. the better word would be modify....tractor supply 5.00 cow gloves, died with coffee, used huberds shoe grease to soften and waterproof. They were the same hideous yellow as the stitching. Debating on cutting the cuff down....

I built this lovely beer with the help of my great new fermenter. The conical bottom was full of trub (beer sludge) which I had to dig out at the end of bottling. Better in the bottom then in the beer.
 
Built this table over the last few months to hold my lathe and hopefully a table top mill here soon. Built from scrap steel laying around and a butcher block maple bench top saved from the dumpster. A little sanding and urethane and it turned out pretty nice.

Awesome bench Hurco.

I built another stc-1000 temp controller for my fermenter fridge. This one is a bit nicer than my first and does heating as well.

No. Just wild temp swings. Uninsulated shed that can get to 40c during summer and 8c during winter. I like to keep my beer at 20c when I ferment and bottle condition as I mainly make ales.
 
Brodie forget the bottling and get yourself a couple taps and kegs... it is completely worth the investment... I can't even begin to tell you how much better my home brew got after that... bottling can cause so many variables that are tough to control even under the best and most sanitary conditions. Kegging solved it all, every single batch I make is consistent to the last. You won't be sorry
