3d Printing A Functional Fallout Radio Prop

I always enjoy listening to the in game radio when I'm playing. I really like the style of the radio and decided to make one IRL

I still want it too look old and worn, but have some modern features like Bluetooth, FM, and USB input.

For me both the volumn and tuner both analog was a must! Which made it really difficult to find a doner radio. Everything is digital now!

Tinker-Tinker Nissan 240sx S13

I bought this 1990 Nissan 240sx in 2006 for $200 and drove it home from the junk yard.

I just keep fixing whatever breaks, and upgrade it when I can.

For me it has been everything I ever wanted in a car

Reliable, good on gas, easy to work on, and fun to drive

Wife's 2000 Honda Civic Project Car

The wife helpes a lot with my car and she wanted a project of her own so I got her this.

Carving Log Benches

I've always liked to car things and I wanted some log benches for a fire pit. I could have just peeled and notched a few logs, but I like to make things to last.

Just Being Funny

Sometimes I just like to make other people laugh. It's even better if I can make you laugh until you pee.

Tinkering With The Forge

Blacksmithing always looked cool to me. I remember watching the Amish Farrier installing horseshoes when I was a kid.

I've met a few smiths that do really cool things like make Damascus knifes. I myself got this setup so I could make some hooks to hand tools in the garage

I know you can buy hooks, but it just isn't the same. I like seeing the things I've made over the years everyday

Growing Big Sweet Potatoes

Well, I tried to do it again. Still got a good harvest inspite of the deer damage. The most expensive part of this whole project was the deer repellent.

Portable Self Watering Pallet Planters

Our soil sucks. When I say soil what I really mean is rock clay cement. So this spring we worked hard milling lumber and making as much compost as we could.

Now that we have these self watering pallet planters built gardening is extremely easy.

When I designed these I wanted to be able to do away with all the parts of gardening I hate leaving just the parts I enjoy.

I was very successfully to that end.

Compost Making And Tools

I've been making compost for years, there is nothing better for the garden. Around these parts compost is really really expensive.

We needed a lot of compost to fill our pallet planters, so I came up with some tools to make the job easier

This year we made and sifted more than 8 cubic yards of finished compost and saved about $800 over buying it in bulk

Frustrations And Fails

Sometimes it happens, sometimes are worse than others. Othertimes it's funny in hindsight.
