Hi Phantomphixer - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Sounds like you have a diverse skill set. We definitely have our share of airplane nuts around here :) Our new site PlaneBuilds.net was fun to put together.

So, what's next up on your projects list?

Hi Phantomphixer,

Welcome! :welcome:

I'm another one of those airplane nuts. :cool: What are you planning on building next in your machining/welding shop?

Hi Phantomphixer, that's an interesting mix of knowledge that you have. Welcome to the forums! :)

Just finished re-engineering my elk trailer. Made it a dually. Use it to have lady friends granddaughter's quad out to the desert when I'm not hunting. Carries 300+ pounds no sweat. Stub axles. Tracks behind my ATV just right.
Thinking of building a tire breaker/changer.
This past weekend, modified a hex shaft 1/2" drive to accept snake drills(threaded bits). Took a little annealing to be able to drill out to size. Nice to be able to drill in small area without 90* drill and air hose. I use one of the shorty Porter Cable hex bit holder drills. Think I'll post picks of before and after.
Thanx for chiming in to you, kbalch and DIYer.
