I'm speaking to you from one of my favorite places: inside the internets. My other favorite place is my garage where I spend countless misguided hours tinkering, inventing, destroying, and otherwise messing about with tools and junk. Most of what I use or work on comes out of the garbage. I think I have some kind of sick fascination with reworking and reusing things that other people have thrown out. It might be because I'm cheap and free stuff is more fun than stuff I had to pay for.
In any case This blog and the accompanying YouTube video channel are going to serve as a visual documentation of some of the foolish stuff I waste my time on out in the garage.
We'll start this little journey with a bit about one of my shop tools: 4.5" angle grinder. One of my favorites in the arsenal. Some time ago the plastic handle broke off so I epoxied it back together and got another few months out of it till the inevitable happened and it went all to crap permanently. I looked around the shop and saw a new handle laying in wait. A little bit of wire wheel in the drill and a touch of mig welding later and I had the following new and very strong handle:
Yep. That's a railroad spike from an abandoned section of rail. That's how I roll. If you like that, stick around. We may just get along. Check out my YouTube channel over here: Froshmasta on YouTube
