An excuse to drag out every tool in the joint, pore over nuts & bolts, then cover everything in saw dust. We're havin' fun now, by God.

Hey JP why don't you fix your one armed chair.

It's a rim polisher........

Posted by: Aaron Cox Nov 1 2004, 11:38 AM

tire shaver! thats a good idea....

is he smart enufff to balance them wheels?

Posted by: Root_Werks Nov 1 2004, 11:40 AM

I was thinking it could be used for rim repair or polishing? Although it sure looks like it would make a good 'roid' scratcher.

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 11:43 AM

Shit....I thought I'd get some really crude answers before someone got it right. Where's Zois when ya need him.

For a set of measured drawings & materials list, call 1-800-WFT-IZAT. The Canuk gets a set for free.

whats the deal with the one arm chair...

letz see some action shots of polshing!

Posted by: SLITS Nov 1 2004, 11:49 AM

The missing arm unencumbers the right hand Rosie Palm and her 5 sisters for intense action when there's snow outside and provides training for polishing the wheels. Who needs Zois?

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 11:52 AM

Sometimes I get exhausted jest settin' there.....with only one arm I can kinda roll off on the floor and gather my strength.

Hay....just cause I built it don't mean I'm actually going to use it

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 11:54 AM

Humm....I forgot bout Slits. Won't make that mistake again.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Nov 1 2004, 12:00 PM

i thought he had ED

Posted by: SLITS Nov 1 2004, 12:42 PM

ED = educational dysfunction = civil engineer

Posted by: Steve Thacker Nov 1 2004, 01:45 PM

JP,
That is a humdinger of a makeshift tool! Why can't I think of things like that? Ahem it wouldn't matter anyways. The Mrs would think I have too much time on my hands and try to make use of it.

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 02:39 PM

This wheel needs more than polishing. I'd be better with a lathe for this one. .010 skim cut *might* get all them pits

Got on it for 60-90 minutes. Prolly half way there......then polish.

nice.....

hope you never knock it over, that is a helluva lot of moment/inertia there to put a huge dent in something...ouch !!!!


would've been easier to mount the rim on the car and put it in gear...not the safest method, but effective

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 02:55 PM

It kinda surprised me how stable it is.
I was prepared to screw the barstools legs to a 44 inch dia table top.

I thought about the car idea.....should sumthin' get caught it would throw you into Wednesday.....at best. I can stop this thing. It's turning maybe 50-70 rpm.

Posted by: Mueller Nov 1 2004, 02:59 PM

what, you never wanted to win a "Darwin Award"???

Posted by: GWN7 Nov 1 2004, 03:02 PM

Yippieee...I got one right

I guess all those games of mouse trap I played as a kid helped out and building Rube Goldberg devices didn't go to waste.

Looks good

I thought about trying to use my standup drill press for polishing...

Posted by: J P Stein Nov 1 2004, 03:55 PM

>I guess all those games of mouse trap I played as a kid helped out and building Rube Goldberg devices didn't go to waste.<

I resemble that remark

>I thought about trying to use my standup drill press for polishing...<

Thought about that also......see Wednesday.....maybe only tomorrow . The lowest speed I can set mine is 150 rpm.

Way back when I was in High School a friend of mine use to put his Mustang on the lift at his dads gas station and polish his wheels that way

Posted by: Andy Nov 1 2004, 05:00 PM

Polishing a spinning wheel unsafe? I'm sure you'll talk smack about my kick-ass backyard dyno!

My name is Andy and I did not endorse this message, personally I'm surprised whoever made this thing survived whatever previous ideas led up to creation of this device.

Posted by: Aaron Cox Nov 1 2004, 05:03 PM

hhahah...texans!

Posted by: MarkV Nov 1 2004, 05:05 PM

Dyno? I thought it was a well pump.

Posted by: Mueller Nov 1 2004, 05:05 PM

is that a strain gage or supposed to be a saftey device??

Chevy camero pretty sums it all up....probebly has a Jeff Foxworthy cassette in the tape player

Posted by: Lou W Nov 1 2004, 05:12 PM

Now thats down right scary

Posted by: seanery Nov 1 2004, 05:12 PM

Sorry, Aaron, that's a Utah plate

Posted by: Aaron Cox Nov 1 2004, 05:15 PM

duh! something texans do tho

Posted by: newdeal2 Nov 1 2004, 05:26 PM

Can you convert that to a bar stool racer? Just add a lawnmower motor

Posted by: SLITS Nov 1 2004, 06:27 PM

Hey..........if the saftey lets go, he's got lots of runoff area...........the whole effin state

Posted by: ! Nov 1 2004, 06:41 PM

Yew know yer a redneck when yer garage furniture has mechanical devices hooked to them.....

:finger2: Oh yeah...back at ya.... :finger2:

Posted by: scott thacher Nov 1 2004, 06:51 PM

I think the fine residence in the background says alot!

Posted by: SLITS Nov 1 2004, 06:59 PM

JP otta add a set of brakes (Monoblocks) to his wheel polisher (he already has a drilled rotor) - the guy in Utah has air brakes on his dyno.

Posted by: Bruce Allert Nov 1 2004, 07:41 PM

the real scary thought is how'd he git that thar car on dem tars???

JP, gotta do a movie of that thing in operation
