Swages crimping
(Preview)
Being a tight a..., I did not want to buy a crimper for swages for stainless cable. I found that two 2" nails and a vice did the job perfectly. Just put a nail either side of the swage and close the vice. The vice has the pressure required to make a good crimp. A torque amplifier (length of pipe) helps. This me...

Struts
(Preview)
Hi all. As I am slowly but surely turning into an old fart, nearly 68, I thought that I would fit struts to my A van pop top roof. This may be a stupid observation but what happens when the roof is down and the canvas folds in ? It looks as though it is too much to fit behind the struts. Am I stupid or what ????

Portable dog bowl
(Preview)
My sister had a brilliant idea when travelling with their dog - he drinks a lot, so she bought a dinner plate size round plastic bowl, with a lid that fits tight. She then proceeded to cut a circle in the lid, big enough for the dog to get his head in. They can sit it on the floor of the car, or even the seat, an...

It's a very easy alternative to belting pegs into the ground and requi...

Found this when looking for an odometer app for my redundant iPhone - it's exactly what I wanted: dual trip meters, no speedometer to get in the way and BIG numbers easily read at a glance.
