In Super In Laws full time work at the shop while Matt assembles his car he totally cut up my 3 donor cars. Pallettized all the spare parts totes so they can now be downloaded with Big Joe. Oh yeah, he jacked up Big Joe and rebuilt the casters. Welded up a new caddy for the scrap steel stuff for building jigs. Welded up the 914 Rubber jig for testing brake master cylinders.

Upgrading my 12 ton HF press to a 20 ton unit. Got my 25% off coupon in an email yesterday. The 12 ton unit has served us well. It will be coming home to be installed in the carport after we enclose it and add on a 4th bay home work shop.

Here's his scrap caddy .................

Yesterday is the first time I've sent him home. We were at Subway for lunch and the gal asked him how he was doing. Answer : a little tired. RED FLAG ............
The girls were out and about so I had them head out to Forest Grove to pick him up. But he couldn't leave till we/he extracted Matt's long block from the back of the truck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

New Episode of Tool Whore.

Upgraded my shop press to a 20 ton unit. Added a bench mounted arbor press for the smaller stuff.
The 12 ton unit served us well. We really stressed it a couple times in Montana working on the farm equipment. Cross bar had a little bow in it.

Taking the time the clean really paid dividends. Won't be too many rejects.
It's a little too much for the CW crowd. But I'm all about protecting the metal and the what will the car be like in 40 years when they're freshened up again. How did my work hold up?

Very nice. That is definitely the way to do that. I like all nice clean, plated parts where they belong.

Next project will be the design of my Durham cabinets and shelving to store all my excess parts. Having all the inventory is of no value if you can't put your hands on it.

This is a shot of our hardware supplies in the chassis room at Rothsport.

Zoro price about $170 per box with 4 removal drawers. I imagine I'll have 12-16 boxes when I'm finished. $$$

The bottom rows will be some of these guys for larger parts and supplies.

How true. Check the "tools for Sale" in Craigslist close you every week or so. Quite ofter I see machinist's that list some really nice "old school" cabinets when they retire.

Short Episode of Tool Whore :

Finally found a Snap On PTS500 on Ebay ............ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
A little shorter than my PTS1000 Dual Chuck.

Then I added wheel hanging pins to my tool box. This allows you to hang the wheel on our studless 914's.

I'd never seen one of these before. At the last autocross I helped a guy with a 996. It's in their tool kit.

Another Super In Law project I thought I'd share.

I was doing some housecleaning yesterday and pulled the old POS pallet jack out to add to the next scrap run. Jack decides we'll cut off the forks to build an extension for the Big Joe pallet stacker. When Mike's parts car arrives I'm going to hang it on the wall, rather than cut it up. 88 years old and his back been bugging him for a while.

I'm going to have to start paying more attention. And start saying no.

Why are doing this ? Plan is to build a platfrom type hanger to store the incoming parts car from Mike Godly (Warpig) on the wall. Only after it's totally stripped down to a tub.
