Baller dbski Posted December 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 29, 2020 Since most of us are only dreaming of skiing right now how are you filling your time? In Michigan not only can't I ski, you basically can't do anything! Thank God I have a shop. Just got done with a ski related table and lamp as a Christmas present for the wife. Thought you all might enjoy a view. The big news for me is more power for the hot rod! Just shipped the engine back to the builder today, aluminum heads, roller cam and 350 HP. Can't wait for spring on two counts, skiing and burnouts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller cougfan Posted December 29, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 29, 2020 @dbski what is your hot rod? Need pics! Just about to send my 1948 Chevy pickup project off for paint. Then final assembly, Interior and exhaust and it will be my time for some burn outs! And by the way super nice lamp and table looks like u do very quality work?

Baller dbski Posted January 4, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 4, 2021 @OTF Cool guitars! Do you CNC the bodies? When I purchased my CNC you got a 2 day class. In the class were a couple of guitar builders who said they built guitars for Zak Wylde. I'd love to build a guitar only problem I have absolutely no musical talent. I have to be one of the most tone deaf people in the world. Guess that's why I've always admired great musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OTF Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 @dbski Zakk is one of my playing heroes, way better than most give him credit for. I bought the body and neck for that one. I do have a CNC mill and have been a tool maker for 22yrs so I could make every part I guess. @cruznski Funny you say that, I am just about to start a solid walnut tele. Probably buy a Birdseye maple neck for it from Warmoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller chrislandy Posted January 5, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've just gone into lockdown 3.0 (at least 7 weeks) so fingers crossed, I can do (finish) a few projects this time! Finish building a custom telecaster style guitar for a classical player (26" scale length, flat fretboard, feels like a classical guitar! (apart from the weight!), wound my own pickups, fabricated bridge etc...) Finish building my darkroom Finish building my new digital touchscreen dash for the 205 Finish knocking seven bells out of the house Start a new company (or 2) Finish my hardshell boot build - just tweaks now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller swc5150 Posted January 13, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 13, 2021 @"Keith Menard" for sure, stage 1 is a blast. It's become an animal at stage 2, although I'm not pushing it without the new intercooler installed. Bimmercode is also a fun phone app to make little changes / enhancements to your car too.

Baller cougfan Posted January 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 18, 2021 Just finished bottling 15 gal of hard cider. Have 10 apple trees that we make fresh cider from each fall and save 15 gal for hard cider. This year’s flavors are: strawberry/raspberry peach/pear and of course straight apple. Made 6 cases worth of 12oz bottles. Our press is over 100 years old and still performs great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 2Valve Posted January 19, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 19, 2021 @MISkier My unit is a 45,000 btu Modine. It takes a 3" vent pipe that I ran through the roof in my attic. I bought the piping (double wall) at Menard's. I installed it myself. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
