Found a great web site for home builders: www.homemadetools.net or see how many hits you get doing a google search, or bing search, for home made tools
Interesting site, and I have spent a lot of time checking it out. A lot of the threads that are of interest link right back to the HAMB, specifically this... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=235784
Lots of the items on the site have been taken from post on different site without the permission of the person that made the post. They did give credit and post links to the original post.
Well-established in the Top 10, Jalopy Journal has nearly reached 300 entries on the Sites list. Only 12 more tools to overtake WeldingWeb! Here are all of the Jalopy Journal tools: 292 Homemade Tools from jalopyjournal.com
pretty funny....maybe I should submit my anti billet belt adjustment wrench to add a double j tool post. Had to grind a Proto open end wrench to about a one eighth inch thickness to adjust my first and last March pulley kit for a SBC. Still pissed at that company. Tossed the kit, kept the wrench. Blech ! Billet still makes me sick.
Hi kidcampbell71, By all means, let's see that wrench. Throw up a photo and anything else you'd like to say about it and we'll chalk up another JJ tool. Ken
anyone can grind a wrench down...let's see you weld it back up to stock thickness...maybe if just for fun.
Ken here from HomemadeTools.net. I know this thread is an old one, but thanks for the link! To celebrate our 20,000th homemade tool, we made a new ebook featuring our top 50 homemade tools. You guys are welcome to it for free: http://download.homemadetools.net/50MustReadTools.pdf
Thanx, man!!! Downloaded. Now I'll be spending the next few hours perusing it. I've got important stuff to do today, but reading this just rose to the top of the heap. b-t-w; I'm atch on HMT also.
You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy the new ebook; stop by the forum and let us know what you thought of it. Ken
Sort of on topic, I spent some time on the water recently and found myself wondering if anyone has used an outboard engine trim actuator to power any homemade tooling. Possibly a tubing bender or some other type of tool. It's a self-contained 12v unit that could probably be adapted pretty easily to something I'm sure. Not sure how much torque they actually put out, but just a thought. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
