Default Inexpensive and functional

Just a little something to be able to free up some space while working on other things...

Great, now I'm going to be thinking about designing a "wheelie" cart for my spare subframe.

Here is my version of the famous "third hand" welding tool



And this is not so much "homemade" as "home-modified". Here is my parts washer.






I found the inspiration online but then made it my own. I wanted to have the washer basin essentially "dry" with a constant flow of cleaner instead of a pool of cleaner that in cycling within the washer basin. So I lengthened the wires on the pump and have it suspended about 4 inches off the bottom of the bucket which pumps cleaner through the filter and the chrome flexible spout. It then drains out the bottom back into the bucket. So far it works great, I am waiting to see how the hoses hold up or if they will start to get eaten away...it been a few months so far so good.

I was thinking of this old thread the other day when I finally mounted my vise, it took me a while to find it (the thread).

I'm a member of Garage Journal, I think since 2006, and learned this hack from there. I mounted my shrinker/stretchers a couple of years ago and got tired of going from my shop to my garage to get to the vise.

it's just a cheap receiver mounted under the bench and section of square tubing I had on hand. I did have to pay $10 for that 1/4 plate under the vice.

I store the "loadable" items under the bench with square tubing, angle iron, and other pieces I fabricate.
