Defogging the dark side
All right, so you’re looking at getting your windows tinted. Maybe you’re concerned about how dark you can go, maybe you want some crazy chrome reflective stuff. Maybe you’re thinking about blocking heat. One thing you might not be thinking about is your rear defogger. Well, you should…
Slippery when wet… Sanded
So your plastic lenses are hazy and you want to clean them up. Plastic polish helps, but you shoulda really look at wet sanding. You can get pretty good results by hand, so you don’t need an expensive buffer. It’s worth the extra bit of time and money though.
EF Civic LED gauge light conversion
I’m not a huge fan of the color of the gauges in the civic but I can’t stand those after market conversions where you end up with something that looks completely out of place at best and at worst like you feel Vatozone is the end all be all of automotive.
Office desk

Shopdog, the last sawhorse you’ll need.

Pressmatic Drillination!!!1
That's right, I got myself a drill press. Picked it up off of Craigslist, it's an old Delta Rockwell.
Don’t be tripping!
On this damn outlet box that was sticking up out of the floor. I'll have to see if i have a picture of it somewhere. Here we go, had to crop it but man, this thing is my bane in the dark. So basically it's just a two gang box on some PVC, it has […]
1.21 jiggawatts!!!
Well, not anywhere close really, but I did upgrade the sub panel in the wood shop. In case anyone electrical stumbles across here, I know it’s not up to code. The original wiring is three instead of four so I am going to have to get a long heavy gauge wire to run as the […]
