less dribble more tools!



I found my "tire pressure checker" from when I used to drive trucks at the building supply - well at least thats what I told the cop that one time. "No officer, Id never dream of bashing someones skull in with this contraption. I check my air pressure in the truck every morning when doing my full 45min pre-trip inspection."

Jib O Fail? I think not,...lol









whipped this up tonite as rainy weather is on its way and doors gotta go back on. I didnt even try it without the flat bar on edge. Stitched that in 5 spots of 2" welds as that is what stiffens it up. Pipe isnt even 1 piece but where the weld joins them i ran a 2" weld on flat bar across that section. Only took me 20 minutes as everything I already had. Worked awesome. The cage was borderline too much only cuz the lift was tipping forward but i stood on the back and rode it like a skateboard but it really wasnt too bad and not dodgy at all just a little top heavy

You are going to get smack for that extension.

At least it worked.

What type of tubing are you using? DOM? wall thickness?

Get smack? For being dodgy or something? I wasn't concerned one bit at any moment! I welded it with some 7018 and it wasn't going to break or bend. The only concern is overloading as it would tip but I don't plan to lift anything else heavier than the cage which is about 150 lbs.
Wall thickness is only 1/8 but like I say the flat bar on edge is key to make the strength on the thing!!

Sorry, tubing specs for the exo cage not the lift extension. My bad.

Ever get tired of Oil Dry or Cat Litter getting everywhere when you spill some chemical in your shop? Here is the answer.

Take regular old ash



Then get some fine saw dust (not chips but legit dust) a table saw or miter saw produces a lot.



Using Some hardware cloth sift the chunks out of the ash and mix the sawdust and ash to about a 60-40 ratio (60 ash) (40 sawdust).

Mix it up good and use it.
It can be swept like oil dry and works instantly.



Completed 'oil dry'

Transmission Fluid



Sprinkling a modest ammount.



I swiped it around with my hand. Don't worry it doesn't bleed oil like oil dri or cat litter.



And it sweeps away. Works on smooth or rough surface.

It will pickup basically any liquid including water based liquids, like water blood antifreeze.

Works instantly

Its free

Can be reused to some degree. It gets to a point were its super saturated then its done but you can sweep up it with it holding the oil and pour right back in to the bucket and mix it around. It lasts for a while.

Be careful some liquids like brake fluid are make this very flammable. Don't put your cigs out in it.
