What did you do in your shop today?

[Sprung]

Today was more like what did I do just outside of my shop.

Today I installed a hitch on my wife's Toyota Sienna. And the wiring for the trailer lights. Wasn't difficult, but running a wire under the van, from one end to the other, avoiding anything that moves or can get hot, so that the trailer wiring has 12v supply, sure was a pain in the rear...

Making that wire live by hooking it up to the battery was the very last part of the job. I ain't stupid...

@ripjack13 this is a box lid I made for my brothers horse. He had it creamated and asked me to make a box to hold its ashes. The horses name was Rosey the reason for the roses. lol

Is the main riser pipe solid bar stock or capped pipe?

 

[steve bellinger]

Couple updates from this morning.

Phase 3 of the addition:
Finally got the leveling done at the back of the addition and set the pavers before ot got too hot. Went from the end if a small slab prior owners had for kids ag projects— had to bring it up a foot at the back edge. Once sand fills in may use mortar in what spaces are left.
Phase 4 is setting pavers in what’s left in the front part.

Solid bar. the connection between the riser and tool rest is 1 in plate. The tool rest is a piece of the riser stock turned to 2 in dia with a 1 in hole bored.

That will have mass, which is a good thing.
