Ahhh!
The work you're doing on this case is nothing short of ****ING AMAZING. What credentials do you have a fabricator / machinist / engineer / artist? I'm just wondering because you seem to have an unbelieveable nack for this kind of stuff.
By the way, nice choice of rims for the Scion... I'm getting the same for my cougar, if I'm not mistaken... kazera's, right?

I took a machine shop class in highschool that lasted about a year, maybe more but thats about it. Never took art school or anything like that. Everything I do I thought up myself. Alot of the techniues I use I got from the short time in machine shop and just from using my head. Common sense. If I have a problem I'll sit there and figure it out. When I figure it out I move on. While moving on I am figuring out another way, a better way to do it. If I should figure out a better way I will most likely scrap what I was doing ro done and do it again. I'm nuts when it comes to stuff like that. I am not very good at setting. Most of the tim eit has to be perfect.
About the rims,... you are right:) Kazera KS's. They are fairly cheap, they look great, and they are considerably light!! Alot of cheap 17's are heavier!

Thanks for the update, Tribal. Always love to see what's new with this project, it has become my favorite of the boards.
And if you think that garage is bad, you should see the garage in the house I just bought. I would trade you in a heartbeat! I'm still chasing off all the rats before I can evens tart the remodel!

Oh s@#$,... are you serious? LOL. I hate rodents and spiders most of all. Only when the creep up on me. I swear,... I scream like a gurl when it happens, LOL. MY gurl loves it, she thinks it's the funniest thing in the world.
Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
You and me both. I hate rats, but I HATE spiders. My girl loves them, she'll "tisk" at me, roll her eyes and pick up the nastiest, huge long-legged barn spiders with her bare hands and set them outside while I'll be climbing on a table and freaking out.
Women. *shrug*
LOL
Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
what kind of cable is that that you are throwing away?
just thought I would ask, it might be useful for a project somehow depending on what it is.
Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
Ok,... I didn't finish the shop yet because I had spent more time then I wanted and the hardware. I was trying to get as much as possible for as cheap as possibly. I was trying to figure out the setup of the shop. Anyways,... I got pretty much everything I needed to bring it to life. Here are a few pics,...
First,... I just want to say that there is nothing I could ever create that is more beautiful then this,... other then this:)
BANG. Lots of wood. I got a whole lot of wood :shock:. A pile of wood that is,...
Here I am doing what I did for the last bench I made. I a screwing to 3/4" partical boards together to give me a nice thick benchtop. The last bench was 4'x4'. This new one is 4'x6' >-|. Theres going to be another littl eone that I will use to mount the drill press and something else. I have to figure out where evrything is going! Oh,... I am counter sinking the screws in this pic:) Very cool.
Here are the legs done and ready to be bolted to the top. I have support beams that will get screwed to the legs all the way around to make it nice and sturdy so I can,... you know climb on it:) LOL.
Tomorrow I am going to out first thing, right after work to finish the garage. Hopefully I'm not there all day. I have to make time for my gurl:) She misses me alot:) She's so cute:) I'm so whipped. Here,... in our relationship,... :[] I'm the little blue guy:)
Re: TRIBALOVERKILL, "Blackout" Updated--> 06/24/05
cute kid.. are you going to have room in that shop for your stuff once you get all of those shelves up? It just looked like it might get cramped.

TRIBALOVERKILL the MODDER, THE,...... CARPENTER? Hell yeah baby!!! Check it out!!!
My gurl messing with the camera.
Check out this bench!!! It's huge!!! 4'x6'!!! I love it! It's so strong and sturdy on it's legs!!!
Here's the companion bench in which i will use to mount the drill press and something else. HOT!
Here is where they are going to go. As you cn see there is still plenty of room to move around. Granted I still have alot of stuff that has to go in there but thats cool though because I am use to working in a tight place:)
While I was working on the benches I had jessie painting the garage. We used extra can of paint lying around. We though it was white and then though it was some beige color when it turned out to be some sort of pinkish color :~) It's cool though atleast it looks clean:) I might try and finish the garage tomorrow but I had made plans on doing some OT at the hospital, 16 hours of OT. I don't want to but I think I have to. I should do it is what I mean. I dont know. We'll see what happens, how I feel when I wake up in the morning. PEACE OUT EVERYBODY!!! Yo,... what you guyz doing tonight? I'm going to take my gurl to the mall(because she really deserves it today for all the help she gave me), go see that movie Serenity :=:, then maybe do some drinking alcoholic:, and possibly do something else for my gurl :-=-:.
