the garage
doers get more done - share projects you're working on - woodworking, fabrication, automotive, electrical, smithing, general garage tinkering etc. rough or refined, wip or final - anything goes. talk shop, give/get advice, cold beers in the fridge

I’ve been cooking in the garage over the last month, making good progress on a greatly improved bike frame jig. I’m able to pull off a few 10-15min chucks of time a day. Nothing I’ve done in a day has seemed very meaningful but I’m to the point where it’s nearly operational.

@neynar my gas company came out to test and replace my meter, they turned off the gas appliances and when he went to relight the water heater and turn down the temperature (it's old with a honeywell controller), now the water heatwr will not relight. What can we do and are they responsible if they broke my watwr heater? It was working before he came.

air trapped in the system, hoping to just squeeze it out. this is what i did last time and it worked, though i thought the real problem was the old cap that was letting air in… this time im not sure where the air is entering but the a/c is running hot and i can sense she wants to overheat at any point

a little process. cut from sheet and bent, much filing. when i first tried to solder the bail on, the solder didn’t join the parts, it just spread out on the top. had to solder twice but it worked

i soldered on the bail without losing any prongs, massive win. problem is it looked centered from the front but when you look at the back it is absolutely not centered or straight lol

I stooped this Klein electricians padded tool belt this summer because it was brand new. And free. I didn’t anticipate having the opportunity to use it at the time but im super glad I found it. It’s so comfortable. Like more comfortable than not wearing one. Padding and support 🤌🏼
