What did you do in your garage today?

What did you do in your garage today? It is fun to see what peoples projects are and how they are attacking them.

I’ll start: nothing yet beyond turning the heat on. Once I shovel last nights snow, I’ll head out and continue work on van equipment that I am making.

Scraping gaskets. I've got about ten hours on this stupid thing. There's a few bits here and there, but I'm about to just run it. Probably put a thin coat of Suzuki gasket crap on it before the actual gasket. See if it holds.

What is it?

86 Shadow VT700C. Bought it because of a no start. Got it home, no spark. The wires coming out of the stator were borked. Someone suggested I yank the stator cover, and like an idiot I did. It was fine in there. I found an unplug wire that lead from the coils to the CDI jammed behind the battery box. But, I haven't been able to see if that was the fix since the stator cover is off and there's no oil.

Can you to a super quick start to test spark with the cover off?
4-5 seconds with residual oil should be fine.

I turned this pile of scribble into an upper cabinet.

Cleared out space for my second CNC lathe. OK, it's exactly the same as the existing one but we shall not worry about such things.

Changed the coolant in my VFR1200X, fitted some Oxford hot grips and some PowerBronze hand guards.

Pulled my "deployment present" snowmobile out to load in my truck to meet up with a potential buyer tomorrow.

I wonder why they didn’t hold zee air?

What do a plumber and an Eskimo have in common? They both like a tight seal!

I could sure step up my game with a table like that. I’d go from cutting corners to mitering them!

I swept the joint out, fixed a charging problem on my bronco, fed the cat, detailed the DD, and had some real ass conversations with friends of differing opinions.
