What did you build this week?

[Maritime]

I like the Fleur de Lis accents, sir.

+1. Adds some class.

 

[Redbird]

Thanks guys. A fire pit is going up next, then I get to build some patio furniture

 

[Habanero52]

replaced my copper plumbing with pex...

I've got the hot&cold to my bathroom sink and the toilet hooked up since the picture (don't live at the house yet). I'm working on the rest this weekend.

After spending several weekends working on problems with four of the cages, I was happy to work on a project that didn't put grease under my fingernails

Last season my younger Godchild killed her first deer...

She had the skull cleaned and kept it as a trophy. We got to talking one day about putting lights in the eyes to scare people and she loved the idea.
Sunday morning I got it wired up for her.
The microswitch/battery pack:

The LED:

Powered up:

And the finished project:

She couldn't stop smiling

(BIG thanks to Sonreir for helping with the Lilypad info.
If you're ever in the New Orleans area, you've got a buncha beers on me )

 

[Sonreir]

Glad to help, sir. I sincerely hope to take you up on that offer.

 

[Redbird]

Say when! And I know a few good places to eat too

Speaking of Beer and Projects...
I also finally got around to mounting up my bottle opener.

And added a magnet to catch the caps.

Then, after testing the opener more than a few times, I made it "Certified Bad Ass!" ;D

Put in a new shop fridge, Handles were dingy so went with the black plstidip so it feels like a rubber glove

Made a neat little fire pit out of part of an old compressor tank. I saved the rest of the tank to build a small forge later.

I added in another shelving unit ( the one in the middle)

Built a high top bar table out of some timber I had laying around. It will serve as the mens table during Christmas lunch.

Just finished building in the front of the car port with leftover hardwood from my old mans place.

Now the workshop doors can be open and nobody from the street can see in.

Still have to stain it and paint the roller door.
(They are a pain to put up)

Freakin' gorgeous, brother. I like the wood as it is, personally.

Doing a lot of remodel at 4g Steel in Lincoln. So far I've installed and trimmed 4 solid core doors and one steel six foot double door, built and rocked 6 walls, put 2 Windows in and enlarged an entryway. There was no room for the proper sized header in the new opening so Charlie at 4g had em make me a steel plate to sandwich and bolt between a couple 2x8's. it is heavy.

Not sure what pics I have in my phone, let's see here. I think there's some gratuitous pics of the shop area and their awesome machines.

Phone keeps kicking me out of gallery, it'll take a couple posts to get ya caught up.

Last 2 pics above are of the ladder I climb to the loft where I dig through 30 year old 2x4's to get what I need for the project. The windows in the loft wall were installed by myself as well. Blew their mind when I installed headers without taking the whole wall section and drywall out. Tricks of the trade.

Here's some more. I'll take more pics today.

Freakin' gorgeous, brother. I like the wood as it is, personally.

Thanks mate. It is not symmetrical as the motor for the door is on the left and there is limited room between the carport and fence on the left.

As for the stain. It will be a light oiling to keep the wood protected. Next project is to build a medieval style gate on the right to replace the temporary fence next to the carport.

 

[Redbird]

Nothing too fancy, but definitely useful...
I was able to salvage 10' of E-track from one of the old trailers at work.
Now the motorcycle table has many more options for anchor points.
Before (D-ring mounts on the sides)

After

 

[irk miller]

I like that idea.
