DIY: Be Creative & Do It Yourself

[Grimm]

Nice Thread Rev.C


See Creators are damn good creators and some really are good at everything

Thanks. I've never built furniture before. I've only ever repaired or improved it ... but the brother needs a wardrobe and I need shelves (once he's gone, that is).

I am more hands on with things like that, i enjoy that *.
I can build you a house, wire it, plumb it and even build the flat pack furniture.

A true CREATOR.

But what's "flat pack furniture" 

That's the assembly stuff made in Indonesia is it? Ikea? Same shït different price.

Yeah yeah I buy that too. I buy it and look at it and see how I can do better. That's my plan ... and so I build. I just build bigger, better, stronger, faster ....

Rev is the real President of the "W" lovers club as you can see from his stuff in his house, not Bert!

And they should have had him star in the film "the number 23" not Jim Carey!

The shelves are all but finished and are in use. Brother Edwin (he's in the forum, look him up) is using them. When he leaves, I will take photos.


Updated March 2020 - Final Design
Saw the clothesline cover and wanted it, but at $200, I made my own for $41
Made with shower curtain rods and a $5 tarp

* Keeps the rain off your clothes when they are hung out
* You can sit under it in the rain or sun - sit in the shade

It's an improvement over last time
* Sitting much lower - same as the $200 version
* 4x Quick Release Clips
* Easy to remove
* Can be dropped down with the clips reconnected and the tarp left in place
  - The $200 version cannot do that. It's either on or off

If you want to do the same thing, use a shower curtain rail + corners/bends as your central support and throw a tarp, sheet or blanket over it. Be creative and make it look good.

As before
* Keeps the sun off visitors in the warm weather
* Keeps the rain off the drying washing in the wet weather

Next year I want to put natural fibre cladding on the metal fence

Honda Rebel Rebuild

First step in rebuilding:
Add wheels, forks and bars - everything finger tight.
Used a bicycle stand to keep it upright.

Seat and tank just sitting on - I do intend to get a new low sprung seat and a HD Sportster Frisco tank along with a bobbed rear guard.

It'd be easier if my rear shocks hadn't been stolen - but they needed replaced anyway.

Now it's ready to roll out into the sun to wash and look for any cracks prior to painting.


Update: Grease and grime of the years washed off. Frame and wheels are in better condition than I thought. Everything will need painted ... just a couple of brackets to grind off.
