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.

Did that last week end

Some of you may wonder WTF this is.....but iff'n ya got a lick of sense, you could care less. ....so I ain't telling ya. You're gonna have to guess.

A clue: It ain't a power hemorhiod scratcher....tho I may give it a try

Are you going to grab some clay and turn a nice vase?

Tar Balancer?

Tool for shaving tires?

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

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

tire shaver! thats a good idea....

is he smart enufff to balance them wheels?

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

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!

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?

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

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

i thought he had ED

ED = educational dysfunction = civil engineer

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.

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

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.

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

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...

>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

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.

hhahah...texans!

Dyno? I thought it was a well pump.

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

Now thats down right scary

Sorry, Aaron, that's a Utah plate

duh! something texans do tho

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

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

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

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

hell i want to know how accurate is that dyno... i like it... might be a reason to drive to the dry waste hole called utah



scott t

I think the fine residence in the background says alot!

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.

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

.....b
