Second jigsaw attempt last night, horse silhouette for my daughter. She loves it, I think it's wonky.

Here's a beast of a spline drive rotary hammer that I used today, thought I would show you what the big guns look like

It's a workout holding it up on a wall like this.

I saw this and I was like, "Man what a wuss. That's just a regular D handle roto hammer. Wait oh s*** that thing is massive." Forgive me for doubting you.

Yeah.... the picture doesn't do it justice!

It's a $1000 machine, and can drill 6" cores, it hits like the hulk and the whole building feels it!

Man I haven't tried one of these before, looks like a beast!

[99_XC600]

That isn't a tool, that's a murder weapon.

 

Kudos for you manhandling that thing around.

Bad ass machine....

Job well done !!!

Installed some crap HF fog lights on my car because that's what masochists do for fun. Here are some of the notable tools.

 

When in doubt sawzall out because weight reduction bruh.

 

Hackzall, Husky file, and Swanson square to cut out my switch panel.

 

 

Test fit in the ash tray opening

 

 

Layed out with General automatic center punch and scribe.

 

 

Drilled with my Dewalt.

 

 

Given a nice wire finish with my Dewalt grinder 

 

 

And stamped with a set of Pittsburghs and estwing

 

 

This sexy fella to test if my switches were in the on or off position.

 

 

Backside cut out using M12 rotary tool 

 

 

And this custom Key-hole saw...

 

 

Wires pulled with awesome Thexton wire insertion tool. I just need a bigger one to do more than one wire at a time.

 

 

Switches installed in panel. Sorry for doucey filters.

 

 

And installed in dash

 

 

I gotta figure out a better mounting method than the interference fit and screws.

 

Let there be light!

Yeah the HF lights are supposed to work out well if you drill a drain hole in them.

Cutting out for the toilet and water lines in the bathroom subfloor. Nothing too exciting but I got to use some sweet tools! You can't see them in the picture but I busted out the Toughbuilt saw horses as well. Those things are really nice.

Try drilling holes and using pop rivets if there is anything in back to rivet too looks good nice work

That's cool, I can see that being a necessary step.

Time to use those other two switches up for something now

Thanks, there wasn't anything behind them except like an 1/16" lip. I might have to mess around with some other ideas. If it was possible, i'd just do custom vehicle wiring systems for a living. Its one of the few things I enjoy doing. I'd like to tinker around with doing custom ignition systems like I plan on doing with my truck. I want to get into doing programmable ECU's and converting old vehicles to MPFI and coil on plug with just a throttle body on top. That, and doing forced induction builds from the ground up with water meth injection. Maybe some nitrous too. I like doing custom fuel plumbing too. Okay I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish I could make a living building ground up hot rods.

My dad and I started a deck replacement yesterday at our hunting camp. We tore out the old one and today we framed in the new one. All using dewalt 20V max tools. Will update as we continue working. 

[JimboS1ice]

looking forward to seeing how it comes out

[DaveJr.]

For some reason I can't get the pictures of the new framed out deck to upload. I'll keep trying to post them. 

[DaveJr.]

We built this deck last year.
