DIY tools

I'm still in the process of doing springs and struts. Gland nuts are serious so I came up with these. One is for the gland nut and the other is used to hold the upper spring perch. I cut a 32 inch handle for the wrenches. FYI, Toyota and KYB use different size gland nuts. I cut a wrench for both.

Here's a closeup of the business ends

Thought you would enjoy a picture of my high dollar powdercoat booth. Note that I went with a 24 inch part hanger (that's what my neighbor was throwing away).

Here's what I've got so far. Hope to finish them by Saturday

I can see that all you guys are jealous of my powder coat booth. And rightly so. It's one of the finest pieces of equipment that I've ever designed.

I decided to make some christmas tree ornaments also.

Happy New Year.
Be careful out there tonight, It's rookie night.
