This weekend I framed out the inside of the back third of my shipping container in the hopes of getting some stuff off the ground and creating more space. I was able to do so while accomplishing my goal of not drilling into the walls or floor. I plan to wait until I get fittings for the Abba...

Some chargers have the ability to rescue dead batteries. I had a few batteries that my Canadian Tire 3 port “smart” chargercouldn’t charge and appeared dead. I bought an Optimate charger and was able to rescue them. I have had batteries that the Optimate hasn’t been able to rescue. I’m not...

The space bit is exactly the reason I bought this. I don't do anything that I couldn't do with on the centre stand or with my Pitbull stands. Regular lifts like your HF work great if you have a garage and enough space. I don't have either. I'm stuck using a shipping container for my bikes...

I don't have a compound slide, but apparently the Sherline lathe I have allows you to rotate the headstock, allowing you to accomplish the same thing. I have to play with that this week. Playdough idea is a good one. i tried to take some measurements with calipers, but didn't have a depth...

This is the Abba Skylift: This is what some of their fittings look like. The fittings fit into each side of the swingarm pivot recess. I don’t think I need a 5-axis machine (I had to look up what that is, LOL). To my uninformed eye, all the fittings LOOK like they could be turned, but I...

Just bought one and was wondering if anyone here has one and ever thought about making fittings for them. I have some dirt bikes and an 87 CBR that Abba doesn't sell fittings for. I have a micro lathe and mill, and a bunch of tooling that I barely know how to use, but this seems like it...

Spent a few hours trying to resurrect an old lawnmower someone had put out last year. I have a riding mower and a new self-propelled mower but at my cottage I cannot have too many backups- my rider is already out of commission for want of a starter. Looks like fuel isn't getting to the plug...

Is that you GG?

Fortunately, I was able to avoid the modding rabbit hole. Out of that , I might never have emerged.

So, I’ve been thinking on and off about this but hadn’t had time to actually do anything concrete. We had a ton of damage from the ice storms and such and I’ve spent a good part of the last while cutting fallen trees and dropping other ones that need to go. Our lake was also subject to...

I went to a couple of HBCs when they started liquidation to see if they had any high end G-Shocks marked down. Didn't see anything better than the 25-40% discounts that were regularly offered (although, I think only for watches less than $500?). Were there ever any decent deals on MR-Gs? I...

I took the course early this year. I've already forgotten a lot of it.

I don't do a check every time I ride. I know I should.

That's amazing that they paid for the Apple repair. For an iPhone 12, that must have been a substantial amount of money. Good for them! I am indeed cautious with vibration dampeners. None of them claim (understandably) to dampen all the relevant frequencies, so if some of them are getting...

LOL. I was walking up to second floor in our house and we could hear you roar off down the street. Your car sounds awesome!
