Did you know there is a way to put out candles with no smoke or wax splash? Me neither until I learned about wax dippers. I was the guy that always threw the lid on the candle and watched it smoke until it flamed out. Turns out there is a […]
Time to weld the winch plate together, make some mounts for the winch solenoid, and get everything permanently attached to PJ our Suzuki Vitara offroad truck!
Time to whip out the plasma cutter and finish reinforcing the winch mount! In this post we add two additional attachment points and cut out the winch plate and fairlead mount.
A fun little project I just completed was reinforcing a Members Mark brand 4 burner griddle to prevent future warpage. The more expensive BlackStone griddles already have this reinforcement.

Part 4! Now that everything is hooked up, time to (finally) start building the tank enclosure from scratch with a sheet of 14 gauge steel and way too many man hours.
