Could'nt find my projects thread I satrted Yonks ago,so started this one,as most of you know I had my shoulder and elbow reconstructed and nerve damage fixed 23rd june so it slowed me down a little,but I have been half as busy with only one arm,
This one is my old compressor,I had bought a handy man sand blaster even though the compressor would make it work for but seconds at a timeI thought it was time to do some modifications,works like a rip snorter now,even pump up tractor tyres now,and doesn't even know the sandblaster or nailgun is on it now with the extra tank

[Just Rick]

Next one is a refurbishment of an old garden bench seat we had just rotting and rusting away,so had to bring it back to life

(click to show/hide)

Timber before it was cut and finished

Timbers cut and finished

Bench ends after they where sandblastered and recoated
Then a few shots of the job done

[Just Rick]

Just for the hell of it, made a shed fire burner so I can work most of the night and don't have to freeze,planning one to heat the house,but still on the drawing board that one

(click to show/hide)

But this one works so well,I tested in under the carport and couldn't stand within eight foot of the bloody thing,so I doubt it will go in the shed itself,I'd end up cooking myself

[Shambles]

Could'nt find my projects thread ...

Sorted

[Dazzler]

Great efforts Rick... Only negative is that it makes me look like a lazy sod! 

[beerman]

Good to see that you are on the mend. I knew they wouldn't keep you down for as long as they thought 

That bench seat is choice.

I could do with one of those, it's only 23 deg here on the Gold Coast Qld at the moment  Glad to see you up & about Rick.

I've got the impression Rick was probably sanding some of that timber at the hospital between procedures... 

[FatBoy]

What are you doing this weekend, Rick?  I have some work around the house that needs doing.   

That garden bench that you have restored looks awesome!!

[John B]

You don't reckon the hospital bed had timber slats on it do you

[Dazzler]

It did at one stage...

Thanks Steve

Don't mention it any time Matey

Jump in Ya! helio copter come and get me I will see what I can do 

[kittikat]

I don't really understand the enginey thing, but I can give a double thumbs up to the bench.

  

[Just Rick]

Not actually today's but yesterdays project,hate the way new cars are wired these days,cause it cost me two cross over relays to get them to work correctly 

I wonder how many more lights you could fit on the front there Rick the fog's look good

Did you have that shuroo on the previous i30? some family and friends in Collie & Dardanup used to use them but decided they never worked.

I did and they certainly do exactly as the manufacuter says,work better in open terran than scrub shrouded windy roads.

Rick, how many liters total do you have with both cylinders mated up

[Just Rick]

120 litres I think John,don't run outta air any more,looking for a bigger secondary tank

[Just Rick]

Just for the hell of it 
Stripped the front off ofg Alvin 
to fix this issue as the hot weather is heading this way
must do things safely 
Retro fitting this to stop further damage to the front of Alvin
Who said you couldn't fit a Roo bar to a Cruze,not this little black duck 

[AlanHo]

You are not just a pretty face rick - but a pretty good engineer.

Congratulations - great job

[Dazzler]

No half measures!

Ecomomy might suffer slightly, but I'm sure it is worth it.

[AlanHo]

A more permanent solution would be to buy an ex-army centurion tank

fuel economy won't suffer that Much DazzI'm only adding twenty kilo's to the car,maybe 30 by the time I engineer the mounting brackets. Alan won't need a centurion,this is what is called a smart bar,made of Moulded Plastic very strong but also very light,I can pick this one up easily with one hand.

[Dazzler]

Gee, I have never heard of a plastic bull bar before.

Here you go Daryl......
