 Building a "park under" garage table. 


Those cryptic squiggles and numbers 
are the basis of my project.


As well as other garden and home projects. 

Another installment in my "Nothing to be proud of here!" series.

 Hand drill powered workshop?



( Follow me down a hand drill powered rabbit hole!)

 Let's face it, there's only so much you can do with a two car garage.


Yes, I do suffer from garage envy.

Like many of you I am in awe of Jack Olson's 12 gauge garage, it is amazing, but there is still only room for one car. That one car happens to be a Porsche 911, so maybe that is enough!

Am I just too big a cheapskate to seriously mess around in the old car hobby?


Yeah, you're not going to find me here.

I'm thinking that the answer is probably, "Yes!" 

A couple of weeks ago I passed a dealership displaying classic 1960's cars. 

American Motors and Classics. It was housed in a Toyota dealer's previous used car center

Today I happened to be in the area and decided to stop and take a look. Maybe I would see something that would get me excited.

Why so much hate for Harbor Freight?




They always have almost anything that I could want in stock!

While I don't have any problem buying tools there, I know that some enthusiasts do. Why?

 I finally got started on fixing the Mark VII's carbs.


 All the way from Merry Old England
Twenty dollars in postage!

As I had mentioned, I couldn't find my first order of carburetor parts so I decided to just re order the basic minimum of items necessary to do the job. They arrived within a couple of weeks, and I set them aside. I needed a break from all the Christmas stuff so I decided to fix the damaged carb.
