Club, I have/I can list

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

I was thinking about this as I saw Travis and Brian toting their cool tools.

So I don't have too many neat-o tools, but I do have a jack type tubing bender with 5-6 different size dies. I have a pretty full set of mechanics tools, and I'd consider myself a 4-5 mechanic. And I know, and have been into most everything on a truck... So....

I also can weld, but am not a welder. EI: I would not weld a suspension, but if it's not life threatening if it failed, I'll give it a shot.

Plasma torch up to 1/4" clean have cut 1"
140 Lincoln MIG
Cut off Wheel

In Coos Bay we have a drive on hoist and my pop has almost any tool imaginable (ie full air and tools, paint and body, mechanical...)

I second Jerod on welding, I've worked on my own suspension bits and such but would not be comfortable welding any one elses structual bits....well maybe Garett ...

I'm sure that more will come to mind later but there it is for now.

You'd have to ask me nicely.....

Strever's been holding out on us! How much of that stuff do you still have?

the REAL problem is i moved into a garage 1/2 the size from 10,000 to 5000
and you don't see picts of the machine shop, large bridgeport mill, lath, grinder, etc.
also not shown are 12 ga shear, 12 ga brake, roller, etc.
it is all jammed into such a small space can't even walk around it
am in process of adding on plus getting another barn
then i will get 3 phase power, spread things out and start playing again
i need to at least finish one of the 2 doz projects i have started
sooooo
if you head this way holler
i am tied up somewhat at the store but if i have advanced notice can take time off

Decent set tools for wrenching, air and most importantly a GARAGE and BEER FRIDGE. Can do most wrenching and not afraid to tackle stuff with the FSM nearby. Have lifted a 60, 80, FJC and others in my garage.

Actually it'd kinda be cool to plan out a rig and then have a mass party where everyone brings what tools are needed (or they can), and we see how much we can whack out in a day. Kinda like a homebrew version of Monster Garage.

Hmm, I feel the sudden urge to mount a giant nerf cannon on the top of my rig to shoot at Steve after he mocks me for bypassing....

SECONDED! ; P

If you need storage space for some of that stuff, I'm sure I can clear out a spot in my garage for something (sorry no 3phase) : )
Maybe we should do a barn raising party at your house?!? Get some more space out there : p

I guess I bring the ability to figure anything out. I have basic tools and good skills. I would love to refresh my welding skills and start fabbing protection.

I am also really good with an oar, fly rod, gun and bow.

Well, I was going to chime in but it looks as if I don't have much to offer! No longer have a garage, though I did just pour a 16x16 slab for a pseudo parking space. All my tools are scattered everywhere and in every imaginable hiding place. Anyway, I got some tools, I do most all of my wrenching, I can frame a house. inspect and service an F-15 (anyone got an F-15?), there's more I'm sure but....

[Ebag333]

Thanks to Al, I now have a pair of spring compression clamps for club use.

Um.....can we clean this thread up?
