All the cranks I buy come in a wooden crate stuffed with paper , those pipes are luxury accommodation compared to what they have been through in the hands of freight forwarders

Here’s mine, took a ridiculously long time to build, first effort with this type of thing…
Spray Booth/Workshop.
The paint work is fading a little, and so it's time for a re spray. Rather than have the local body shop undertake the whole job, I thought I'd paint those panels myself (a skill yet to be acquired) With that in mind I thought I'd build a spray booth capable of painting the removable body...

Apart from lazy journalism, what a strange setup - WD40 with your Bourbon sir?

I did find a pub cum post office up in the hills of Corfu years ago.
My local has an ice cream bar and publican is the (working) cattle farmer who owns the adjacent farm.

I like your 'stuff' very innovativeI was going to post this under "stuff I have made today" but then thought (perhaps) it was worthy of a thread on its own - I am always fascinated by peoples workshops, I can spend hours just walking around them, picking up ideas, marveling at the simple (and often obvious) things, and shaking my head at those which are not....You can learn so much about the personalities of the people that have built them and organized them.
Anyway I post a couple of pictures of some things I have made for my workshop - Note: I am retired, so as long as it costs nothing - I have the luxury of time
The drill bits are what I call "jobbing bits" used for all sorts and often abused... Drill sets are kept as "sets" in original boxes and treated with respect.
If just one of you copies something - the thread was worth it.
What you got ???

You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at the number of drivers that 'need' to have certain badges on their cars but struggle to afford to keep them on the road, even with aftermarket bits.Driving a Merc and probably grudging a delivery fee....

Nor for the electric seats, almost every one has them in a position where there dragging their backside along the road like a dog with worms.... I make a point of moving the seats to a position where I can see the road in front of me and see the ground out of the side windows - had a couple of complaints, usually countered by pointing out they have memory seats and if I'm road testing the vehicle I need to be in full and safe control of it....
Doesn't help that I routinely refer to them as Wermacht staff cars...

I presume that you don't listen/watch the news. It is NOT going to rain, we are going to suffer cataclysmic thunderous continual storms of biblical proportions causing tidal waves and flooding never experienced by mankind before. OR it might just drizzle a bit but we won't mention that as It doesn't sound dramatic enough.
