What Tac showed us was HIS house pretending that the castle wasn't his wife's.

Ideal size for me, I'd say.

I made this circle-cutting jig before looking for one on Amazon. Oh, well.

The good news is, it works great!

Nice job there!!! I generally freehand cut circles with a jig saw staying close to the line then use a handmade circle cutter for a router that I made of 3/16" thick lexan plastic I had laying around the shop for years...
No pics, sorry.

Last summer I opened up an attic and built a rail system and closets...

I will never be as handy as many of you but finally this project is done (minus painting and finishing insulation/ceiling sheeting).

I've had a good amount of help along the way from those more experienced than I am in different phases. The tall wall is 10', will have a SunTuff enclosed greenhouse built of the side, probably in spring or summer next year. Fully insulated and wired.


went 10x20, 10' tall wall, 3-12 pitch roof, something like 7'6" low wall that's tall enough to clear the shelving with a tote on top. Wired for 220, 60A to sub panel. This is the center of backyard renovation and making it more garden-esque.

No reloading gear out here. Just storage and garden supplies

I went over budget but it's worth it to be nearly done. Wired for security and a WiFi booster too!

That is literally as big as my house.

Hey all,

I thought it would be interesting to get an idea of other peoples hobbies by posting pictures of stuff we have made.

So, lets see that stuff you made. I made the entertainment center, not the TV...

Love those sprint cars, did you ever race in Elma?

 

[ZoidMeister]

Something else I've made.

I embedded a pair of 1911 date Quarters Eagle tribute medallions into a set of buffalo bone grips.

I have also done 1911 Quarters and Dimes as well. What do you think?

Used to race in colorado. Helped build a bunch of sprint cars and hillclimb cars on pikes peak. Then we built a few of our own as flat track bikes. Have not been to elma yet.

I was stationed at Ft Carson in the late 70's & loved seeing all those Pikes Peak cars on trailers going through Colorado Springs.
I haven't been to a race in Elma in 15 years since the World of Outlaws breakup, sad because it was a big deal for our town.

For the Halloween candy bowl. No good reason kids today can't grow up with the emotional scars I did.

Given that many shooters like to keep logbooks on rifles' maintenance and performance, and I've become a fan of e-pubs over traditional paper in many conditions, I whipped up a simple little method of attaching a USB thumbdrive to a rifle since most have a metric buttload of spare QD sockets. It's a quick and dirty fix, some might even say "ghetto," but it'll work until somebody develops Bluetooth or RFID storage media that I can implement a more permanent attachment. A snap-hook latched to an existing sling swivel would work just as easily, but leave the flash drive much more exposed flapping out in the breeze.

Ingredients:
>One small USB flashdrive with permanently-attached protective cover (I like the PNY Attache 4 in 16GB because I can get 'em for six bucks each)
>One cheap discount-hardware store keytag (I get mine at Harbor Freight for 89 cents a dozen)
>One cheap QD sling swivel (this isn't going to be bearing more load than just an ounce or two, so even Airsoft crap is OK)


One shown wedged into "stowed" position on the stock of my under-construction M4, a second for my Mk 18 spread out to show the three components more clearly.

A little project I am doing for a neighbor. 10 1/2 feet long. Lights, full length shelving. You can see the original closet inside. The woman is happy to get this space.
