    Well they are tools, and they are home made:

    Tubing bender made loosely from Gottrikes plans, changed to use a real hydraulic ram instead of a engine hoist jack, and also to bend ~ 96 degrees in one shot. The Hydraulic pump / valve was from a drum handler, that picked up 55 gallon drums and rotated them to pour the contents out that was damaged in shipping.

    I program weight based PLCs for a living so I added a rotary encoder and this control head for automatic control capability, just key in the degrees of bend you want, and the size/ wall thickness of the tube and it calculates the amount of spring back and bends the tube accordingly.


    I love my plasma cutter, but can't cut a straight line to save my life so I made this, the rail/slider are used in a variety of automation projects, I milled out the receiver for my plasma gun tip and made the shield out of stainless. The rail is 8' long so I can make perfectly straight cuts up to 8' long every time:

    Are you referring to the fleshlight as a vibrating hopper?

    I have something like that, I call it my cheater bar. You put that on the end of a 1/2 ratchet and you can break loose nuts that are crazy tight

    I made this with a Dremel and those little cut-off wheels. The clutch nut for many Honda ATCs

    A tweaked fork tube works great as a cheater pipe. I had a few lying around, so I gave them to coworkers too. Cool, chrome cheater pipe.
