The adventures of a Jeep and its driver.
Finally able to put a 25% no exclusions coupon to work. Picked up this Yukon 9 drawer cabinet. Using it mostly for storing tooling for the K&T horizontal mill, but there’s some other stuff in it as well. The red cabinet next to it used to hold these items and to say I overloaded it would be an understatement.
I needed to make a 6” hole in some .250” plate. I don’t have a plasma cutter. And I suck at using a torch. A friend recommended a Harbor Freight hole saw and run it slow with lots of oil. Worked like a champ and the hole saw is in great shape! That squeal though! 😂😂😂
Workshop paint is done! I used an airless sprayer I bought years ago from Horrible Fright to apply about 4 gallons of paint in two coats. The trim, soffit and fascia took a couple gallons as well. Once the gutters go up, it’ll be ready for the final inspection. .

We have the power! Got both ends of the buried feeder wire hooked up and I now have some much needed juice in the shop.

These little helpers have made installing the siding on the shop a breeze. They attach to the row below and give you a shelf for the next row, leaving the proper reveal. Sweet!

I’m pretty sure those black wires used to be white! 😳 So glad I found this before it turned disastrous.

I added these downspout diverters to the workshop. Since I had the trencher, I dug some shallower ones for these. Read my blog post (link in bio) for more!

Getting the trench dug for the workshop power. 6″ wide by 36″ deep. This thing is a beast. Read my blog post (link in bio) for more!

Someone gave me this old 3HP, 220v air compressor that needed some work. The tank appears to be about a 30-35 gallon. It shouldn’t take much to get it up and running like new. See the link in my bio for the first part of the rebuild.
