This is a link that Steve sent me some time back that I went and looked at (for a long time) and then forgot to post. Lots of good how-to stuff of all kinds!

Stainless Steel Mouse | thecontaminated.com

Talk about too much time on their hands. Beautiful job and all that but 8 months to make a mouse, right down to the bejeweled usb connector… 😯

Teardrops & Tiny Travel Trailers :: Index

Don’t think I have posted this link before, but I have been spending quite a bit (and maybe too much) time there since finding it. It is THE place for info and help on building your own teardrop or tiny travel trailer! They have lots of plans and a whole bunch of scans of old mag articles on building your own camper. Huge forum with build pix and a super nice bunch of folks. Check them out!

Trailer for my bikes

Square tubing, bolted together bike trailer frame. Interesting design. Like the square corner reinforcement pieces.

TrekEarth | Belizean Kids Photo

This is an interesting bike cart/carrier. And with a bit of conduit, a conduit bender, an old bicycle, 2 front wheels, and an arc welder I think something like this could be built in less than a day. Gonna have to spend some time collecting the bits together to make one. I could use this for moving just about everything under 250 pounds or so that I now have to use a truck for here on the farm and at no cost other than developing my leg muscles. Looks like time to get off my ass and at it…

Handcrafted Wonder: 1873 Monocycle Replica Is a Mechanical and Engineering Marvel – Gizmodo

Quite an interesting device. Wish there was some more detailed information on it. Would like to know what the brass can is for that is located just to the left of the handle bars in the picture below. Water or oil or what? The artist did a hell of a job on this piece of machine work. Verrrrry nice!

Instructables KEG LATHE

Interesting idea. Can see several modifications on the basic idea for taking the tops out of barrels and drums too. Or cutting freon tanks or other metal tanks. Cool!
