We all do it. We sometimes need a tool for a special use. It sometimes makes the difference in how well a job comes out Earlier this year, just for the heck of it, I removed the shaft from the bushings in an old trailing arm. I ended up using heat. I did get it out but what a an awful stinky mess! Yesterday Glenn (gms) stopped by with 2 trailing arms he was cleaning up. He wanted to know if I had a press for the job. With a little scrap metal some machining and welding we came up with a simple tool to remove the shaft. Here are a couple pictures of what we came up with. The tool worked really nice. I think if wanted, this would also work with the trailing arm in the car.
So how about posting some of the special tools you have made. Attached image(s)

Here's my home made blasting cabinet. I just finished it tonight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I'd been wanting one for awhile. I recently bought an original muffler that has surface rust, so I wanted a cabinet that would be long enough to fit an entire muffler. $$$ I went ahead and made one with materials from Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and a cheap gun from Harbor Freight. I tried it out tonight and it works great! Obviously, it has no hopper, so I'll have to stop after awhile and shovel out the used media. On the back is an inlet and a bathroom fan for an exhaust. I have a filter in the inlet so no dust escapes. The exhaust fan makes for a nice negative pressure atmosphere in the box. I will hook up a hose and exhaust the dust outside. If it's a lot of dust, I will run the hose to a home made filter box. I realize that dust may shorten the life of the exhaust fan, but it's cheap and replaceable. There is a 36" fluorescent light inside. I have it wired so that the light and exhaust fan come on together. I can't wait to do some more blasting! Next step is to build a stand for it this weekend.
