Potting Bench
№ 0152026

Potting Bench

Built this for my mom to replace a couple rickety, primitive tables. All lumber is treated and sealed. Sink is an old cast iron Kohler I got off of FB marketplace. Fans are Vevor (modified mounting brackets) with 3d printed center covers. The uprights are old porch supports from a house up the road!

Wells Cargo Trailer Resto
№ 0232024 – 2025

Wells Cargo Trailer Resto

Won this off of Copart for a decent price. Its 1994 Well Cargo 6x12. Very stout, I'm presuming it would be under HD badge nowadays. While the bar build was the first time I sprayed a 2k finish from a HVLP gun, this project was the first time I've sprayed automotive finish. Also used white raptor liner on the front and back as well as Henry's Tropicool on the roof, which actually does an amazing job at keeping temps down in the middle of summer. New tires, new lacquered wall panels, eTrack and led lighting everywhere.

Auction Trailer Rebuild

Auction Trailer Rebuild

Picked this up at a local auction for $120 in not the best shape. Did a bunch of reworking to it so I could use it to haul long lengths of lumber and steel as well as sheet goods. Its been incredibly useful!

Ram Front Bumper
№ 0042022 – 2020

Ram Front Bumper

MOVE weld-it-yourself front bumper on my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. Back coated in POR-15 and front sprayed with Raptor Liner. Harbor Freight lighting to finish it off. Probably one of the cheapest solutions for this type of bumper especially if you catch one of their sales.

Bar Build
№ 002 ★2020 – 2021

Bar Build

A full custom bar built for a friend's shop, next to his golf simulator. Oak plywood carcasses, solid red oak trim and rail, wenge-accented bar top. Welded steel supports under the top, Philips Hue lighting run through every section, and a CNC-cut sign. Built in my shop, installed in his.

Restomod Golf Cart

A clapped out 1989 Club Car DS, stripped to the frame and swapped out everything electrical but the motor. 36V resistor to 48V solid-state controller with custom wiring throughout. Fabricated many new parts, the rear half of the roof is a dog kennel liner, and the front bumper cost a dollar and used to be exercise equipment.

Homemade CNC
№ 003 ★2020

Homemade CNC

Built from DIY Builds' YouTube series (https://www.diybuilds.ca/) during the 2020 lockdown, from parts off eBay and Amazon, Home Depot plywood, and an engineering desktop pulled from the e-waste pile at work. Running in a few months. It's since cut the bar's sign and fluted casing on the Bar Build, amongst many other projects. After the initial build I applied some left-over heavy duty adjustable feet and amazon retractable wheels to the legs, and traded its DIN rail for linear rails on the Y axis.

Truck Box Toy Chest

Truck Box Toy Chest

Found this lidless truck box and figured it'd make a durable toy chest. Added some rope light for a bit of flair and to be able to see inside it!
