Tools made from car parts and pipe fittings

OK, so I know there is already a home made tool thread, which is absolutely fantastic and shows some real great E wheels and what not, but when i was reading it about a month ago I remembered a site. It took me this long to find it again, but the projects look absolutely fantastic and would be awesome to build; if only for the effect of having it in your garage. without further ado:

I NEED the drill press!

 

I like the hand held grinder made from an automobile starter.

 

i have the original book these articles came out in

 

WTF. that site is awesome.

 

so jealous! that would be amazing to have. I have full intensions of building at least a few of them!

 

Thats pretty cool. I work in a machine shop so maybe I will get a chance to try some of these. The offset center for a lathe will probably be my first.
