Todays shop time.

Nice trailer Gordon and looks like you are having fun.
I keep looking at the very front of that trailer and wonder how you pull it.
Does the front swivel or how does it work horizontally?

Yes it rotates and normally hooks onto a draw bar. It is made for field use where it is more or less flat. I use it in the woods so I made a swivel so that it doesn't bind on the draw bar in dips and on sharp crowns so it gets rotated 90*.

Happy Sunday! A little time in the shop today after mowing wet grass. I finally got around to mounting a Fire Extinguisher on my tractor today. Thought some of you might enjoy the video I put together. Here are a few teaser pics too...

Mark, nice job. I admit I still don't understand how the fasteners work, you add some epoxy glue around the center area and then push in? Maybe I missed that in the video. Is there adhesive inside the fastener? I bought some magnets to do this for lights on a rollbar and now I think this is a better solution.

Sorry, unfortunately my video capture missed the application of the adhesive. Yes, you apply adhesive around the center 'sticky back' tape. I added some captions and links on YouTube for more detail.

I cobbled together a stand for a shop vacuum hose to hang on at the drill press. The base is leftover concrete that I let setup in a bucket and later drilled a hole into. Some 1/2" PVC pipe and a leftover metal dowel from Mrs.tillers flower garden makes the upright. The 90 degree clamp thingy is from a project back in the 80's. No money involved it this one, just time hunting through the junk piles.

Nice job bigtiller! I always like to see how people repurpose unused items.

I “rescued” some tables and bar stools from the scrap bin a while back. Today I “added” an Olympic dumbell for a foot rest and put it in my home gym.



This 100# umbrella stand came from the same scrap bin. I used it as a base for my portable battle rope anchor pole.

Smart thinking! Excellent use for a dumbbell. How did you "add" it on?

I hole sawed through the table pedestal and tacked the dumbell handle from the underside. Used 2” locking shaft collars for the plate “clamps”
