Not much compared to others but paintball season is coming up so I camouflaged my Tippmann paintball pistol today… plus practice for SHTF

You guys are really talented; waaaaaay more so than me!
But I've been wanting to make this thing for some time now, and I finally got around to it this weekend and finished the damned thing.
So I'm kinda proud of myself for doing it, especially in my current condition, so I thought I'd share some pics of my rough carpentry skilz...

It's a ship's ladder to access my nearly-walk-in crawl space.
I intend to move my SHTF food stores and some other SHTF gear down here, now that it's a helluva lot easier to get in and out of it!
It's about 65F down there, even with it at 98F outside today. So, cooler than I keep my house (72F).

The Plan (which has been sitting around my desk for about 3 years or more).
Yeah, I tend to procrastinate sometimes...

Notched (as an afterthought) to fit the trapdoor framing.
You'll see in the next-to-the-last pic why I needed this...

All screws are countersunk!
So's I don't rip the flesh off my fingers as I go up and down the ladder...

I was pleased as punch that I got the thing in the hole plumb and square!

Anchors away! Or anchored this way...
See that cross member below the clip angle?
That's why I had to notch the stringer.

I would suggest some railing? Maybe?

It's only 5 steps. I'm not that handicapped...

I'm teaching myself to weld and braze in retirement. I may have posted some of these here before, or others like them. I'm looking for metal things to use for wheels! Stuff like what's attached below. Any junk like this that you good folks may be discarding in the "greater" Portland area would be hugely appreciated. I'll gladly come collect whatever you're tossing. Broken, rusty, incomplete, won't turn - all fine. Other round wheel-shaped ideas welcome! Please hit Reply to this post or PM. Thanks!

Speaking of which, is there a sub forum for people to offer paintball equipment, guns etc for rifles?

Working on a fire pit for my best buddy. It'll be done tomorrow more pics to follow. I got some nice granite and all the makings. I work in a gravel pit so the rock is free



My back is sore just looking at it

I have a hobby habit

 

[teflon6string]

Didn't "make" it per se. But necessity, they say, is the mother of invention since none of the store-bought gadgetry I saw would fit without drilling holes in a beautifully healthy vintage boat. Basically, I left a shop vac and a cheapo squeezy-clamp alone in the garage to mate overnight, which gave birth to the official Hoover Freight Rod-Holder Thingy.
