This is a wood stove that I built out of a 55 gallon steel drum.  I used it to heat the shop in the winter time.

This is a concrete mixer that I built out of another 55 gallon steel drum.  It actaully worked pretty good.

In this next pic, there are 2 separate projects.  In the center is a cherry picker that I used to pull engines out of cars with and to lift other heavy objects.  In the back ground to the left, is a 3 axle  20 foot goose neck trailer that I built.  The irony here is that it is carrying away the very shop that it was built in.

I wasn't totally satisfied with the above cherry picker's performance and design, so I made another one.

This was a chop saw I built.   I used it to cut metal tubing and small steel bar.

This is a disc sander that I built.   I also built one just like it for Dad.  He still uses his to this day.
