Birthday Mancave Stuff
« on: October 23, 2012, 07:37:00 pm »
What have you guys given to yourself or the grease monkeys in your life for their birthdays or christmas, etc....

Today was my dad's birthday.
I gave him this


It's a front hubcap off his old 69 mustang...  made into a clock.  He loved it!

Here's the hubcap on his actual car in 1991

Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

That looks cool.
Didn't you also make a bench out of the tailgate?

I usually don't wait until my birthday or someone else's birthday, because sometimes the deals or freebies come up before those dates.

Recently I bought myself an old South Bend lathe.  I'm not even sure how old it is.....but it's still a decent unit.

Over the last few years I've given my dad several shop/tool items.  Some stuff I get free from work, stuff that would otherwise be thrown out, like pipeline skids or welding rods.  Stuff like that is always handy around the farm.
