resourcefulness in the garage.....

[bell]

at work we have pretty much whatever we need to do anything to porsches or whatever..........
however at home I have a small single car garage where I'll mess with little things.......
I have been meaning to track down a horn button for my 924s but haven't had any luck finding something cheap.......
being florida you kinda have to have a horn.........
so I used an old license plate to make a horn ring with a couple momentary buttons.....
pretty basic stuff, but still........
what have you made out of other things?

I'm going to roast some marshmallows tonight using old coathangers. Does that count?

Careful Noah! You could put your eye out!

I made a tool to hold the fan on the engine of the old E when I was loosening or tightening the fan bolt.

Started with the aluminum crank arm from a mountain bike. Bandsawed the big end to open it up to a "C" shape, then drilled and tapped two holes to accept bolts which would line up with a couple of the holes in the fan. Heads were removed from the bolts.

I gave it to the new owner when I sold the car.
Sorry, no pics.

I have a drawer of "stuff" that I keep for little projects like that. I think of it as my project drawer. It is full of strange brackets, springs, end caps and just strange stuff. I can't remember of how many times I have dug into the drawer of junk and found the perfect fix for free for some project.

I have about 10 hammers, ranging from a very tiny jeweler's hammer to a 16 pound sledge hammer. If the first one I try doesn't fix it, I move up to the next.
