I just finished a project in my driveway yesterday and I'm pretty proud of it. I thought it might be fun to see what sort of projects you all have worked on recently. Build any cars? Bicycles? Paintings? Card houses?...GARDEN ADDITIONS?? *ahem ahem...whateverist..cough, cough* Show me your creations! Here's mine:
I recently bought a Jeep and it has a removeable hard-top. It weighs a little under 200 lbs. We've had beautiful weather lately and I wanted to be able to drive up and down the beach with the top off, but my 110 lb girlfriend was not much help in assisting me. I don't have a garage, so my plan was to create a hoist assembly that I could use operate by myself to lift off the top. I had to figure out a way to use a tree branch as my boom.
"It can't be done" they said. "Get a soft top", they told me..."You'll shoot your eye out!" they said...BOO YAHH!!....
