That was a very nice video, I like that you spent the time on each item and didn't just whip past it.  Maybe it's just me, but the 6x6 stole the show

Karl, would be great if you and some of the guys could come over for a show. We are a good bunch and it would be fab to catch up sometime.
 
It's a shame I wasn't big on Wheel Horse 6 years ago when I worked in the US for 6 months, that would have been very useful for stocking up

Here's a photo of a project that i built a few years ago. it was  something i've always wanted to do and the idea was to test it then paint it but ive had so much fun it never got done. this year i intend to strip and paint it before the rally season starts.

racing comando 7 the build has to be strong for this one as its not for sprint races this ones for 12 endurance racing

I've got to get something like this, they are really quite useful for those who leave battery items for extended periods of time.  I received a BIG Craftsman battery charger which I love, but it would be handy to have something smaller as well.

Not to get too off-topic, but this is what's on my camper.
 

 
It's the entire axle, not just a cap.  The grease from the zerk flows through the axle and exit's behind the rear bearing, then pushes forward.  You do this by spinning the wheel, when the grease comes out the front both bearings got lubed.

That is a great idea.  There's so much those ATV'v can do, I've had the need to just that too!

The EZ-Lube instructions actually tell you to pump it in till it comes out (the front anyway)

Thanks guys, and yes, many models built when I was kid.  
Here's another one, a fishing reel with a video of the reel turning.(click on last pic)
 

 

 

 

Back in 2006 my wife wanted a wine bar for the living room, but the more we looked at places like World Market, Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn... the more we realized that everything nowadays is just laminated MDF. We wanted something real. So we came up with the idea of using an antique icebox, and started looking at flea markets and antique malls.
 
We looked for well over six months to find one with two large doors rather than the more common three door models. We found one that had been gutted by a previous owner, and I retrofitted the interior, making no changes or damage to the original piece. She drew up the design and I blueprinted it to fit the dimensions we had. 
 
It holds 9 wine glasses in a stemware holder from Lowes, and 30 standard sized wine bottles.  (27 in the right and 3 at the bottom left)  The shelf on the top left is for the bottle opener.  Wish I would have thought to take more pictures of it as it went together.  The rack on the right is built completely out of 3/4" square oak stock.  There are four vertical posts that were routed out 1/4" on two opposite sides to nest the horizontal resting bars into. Horizontal bars were glued and brad nailed. When I was done it mapped out to 27 perfectly identical squares, with the perfect depth for horizontal wine storage.
 
Essentially I built it as a kit and did final assembly inside the ice box itself. We like it. It's held up through a household move and now 7 years later still holding wine bottles.
 

I built this little steam engine from copper pipe, brass rod and a caster wheel. It runs from compressed air.Fun little project
