Tunnel Frame Up
Here’s a little better view of the truck crane. I have to climb up and reach over the yellow straps to crank the come-a-long to raise/lower the tunnel frame. And the straps and chain bracing inside the bed of the truck. The ladder is footed against a pallet and the pallet is chained down because

Potentiometer as a Sensor
I had rigged up a 24vdc gearmotor to run a drum/spool with cable and was planning to use it to open/close the drop down sides on the high tunnel. The cable would start mounted to the drop down frame, go up and wrap around the drum 4-5 times, go back down through a pulley at

Wiring two relays to reverse the rotation direction of a DC motor

Some people find old rhd mail jeeps, some people use other factory rhd vehicles like Subarus and newer model jeeps, some people use aftermarket rhd kits and some people straddle, using their left foot and hand
Honda Accord Body Resto and Paint
Did this for a buddy’s daughter. My buddy was watching me paint it and I don’t like having an audience, so while I was spraying the base coat, rather than walk around the car with the air hose, I flicked it over top of the car while looking at him and I wasn’t exactly smiling.
