Random stuff you have made

Built a poor boy portacool for shop. Guy I work with bought the old rooftop swamp cooler at a junk sale for $40. The rest of the stuff we scrounged up laying around. Well I did buy the lil water pump for $20ish. In pictures it’s running on an m12 battery but I put a deer feeder 12v battery on it and a battery maintainer left from when I sold my boat. Built the rolling stand for it. Built the elbow duct. Man it man a world of difference in the shop last summer.

Great Work. I regret not knowing how to weld. This is a good example what can be done .

Its NEVER too late to learn. I can remember welding at 10 years old. It wasnt pretty, but it was a bead. I havent welded in years and I know I'm a better grinder than a welder. But IF i practiced, it could be much better.

Used to make rustic furniture, but getting older now so just enjoy making smaller items.

Very nice! What thickness of steel sheet did you use, and how much did the whole thing weigh in the end?

Sheet was 12 gauge. As to what it weighed I don’t know. I could do some googling and math but haven’t. I know it will hold 15 tons of feed.

Baby proofed the patio this weekend

We are in the process of building a small deck for our RV. We used to have a set of stairs that required us to just walk straight out the door and down the steps. We brought groceries home earlier today, and as I went out the door, I tried going straight ahead, but I managed to catch myself before making that BIG step off the edge of the deck.

The stairs are now off to the side of the deck.
