my tools match my skills - it's a converted wood saw with a 64 1/2" blade, but (iirc) the blade is 3/8" - it actually works pretty well... plus, once this thing is out in the mud, who will see it?

so, it's been two days since I last updated this thread and nothing but a whole lot of dust has been happening... why, again, did I sell my lathe? oh yeah, cause it was a paperweight
I got the DOM pipe today, and did a bit of grinding on it
the easy end was done
cut it down, and started on the other end
of course, I used my CNC grinder to turn it down
hey, look at that
and that
and a bit of this
and this too
for the sharp eyed and the trolls, they'll notice the transfer case is hitting the floor... so yes, there will be a moving up of the floorboard to get the transfer case above the bottom of the frame rails... so tomorrow, hopefully, I can accomplish that and a rear cross member... then I'm kind of stuck until I get the axles. I don't want to build the headers the rebuild them when a suspension bit interferes... but as many know, I've more projects than life expectancy - so I may drag the effing Land Rover in and fix that transmission leak - then see if I can make some diesel noise with it since it basically should run once I finish the cooling system.Doing it all wrong since 1966

didn't do anything with the '40 last night, so Buick used it as a dog house
I spent some quality time working on my brake - now I got the parts off, but I really need to evaluate what I should do with this brake before I fix the screw. I love mechanical brakes, but if I change this to hydraulic; 1) it'd be sellable (which I can't imagine doing) because mechanical brakes are high-risk to insure for a business, and 2) hydraulics are a lot more adjustable... I have some of the bits to do it.... anyway, for now, I'll just use the jack under one end - hooky, but it will work.
a very expensive press
now an anchor

christmas party got in the way of any real progress... but I did a bit
and now we know why I didn't make the motor mounts solid yet... they need to come down about 4"... I swear I should make a flip front end to make it easier to work on... but I'm not going to, but it'd be a good idea if I did it.
I also got some more random bits
