Well you can't mean me because I'm as far from great as one can get I'll leave the blade tool up to one of the great ones on here

Here's a pressure blaster I made some time ago and this thing got a lot of use. Here's a photo of it and here's an article that was done on it.

Oh my friend you give me way to much credit. We all have our talants and things that we are good at. I just haven't figured it for myself yet
Thank you for your kind thoughts.

Huh you know I don't think those brake shoes are suppose to be a fine powder at the bottom of the case.... Nice Mustang by the way, amazing what a few black stripes does for looks, did you lower it a bit too?

Say what you like but when I see people like you and Lil Foot posting things they've made it's humbling and inspiring to me. I look at some of things I've made like that and while they do the job (occasionally) they're crude and barely functional. It shows me how far I've got to go and makes me want to go work on something. I so what I can but at the end of the day I'm an amateur mechanic fumbling around in his spare time while taking pictures of the better moments where as people like you are the real deal.

Thanks Lit Foot. Your right about some these tools already existing. Living on an island like I do and so far away from the mainland it takes a lot of time to receive items that's been ordered in plus the cost of shopping is crazy expensive and most of the time when I need a tool I need it NOW so that's why I build so e things. It's a win, win situation for me.

I had my external hard drive crash on me about a month ago and on that external drive was over 26000 photos of my restoration and other work but as luck would have it I do work for a computer geek and he was able to retreave the photos and they are now on a new external hard drive and i have learned my lesson and backed it up twice this time.
I'll have a look and see if I can find something of interest and post it.
Thanks or your kind words on my tooling

Hey Carl. Here's what I've been working on the last few weeks. Sorry to send you to another site but the machine is a Zetor and it's not orange . I'm known as 4shorts over there

Carl isn't your only fan. I followed the thread on the Zetor brake job. A friend was looking at a used Zetor with bad brakes, so that is how I found your write-up. I knew who you were as soon as I saw the driveway/garage in the photos.
He passed on the Zetor. It also had blowby in the radiator.

Thank you very much sir for your kind words on my work. You know Ive always said that the ultimate compliment for me is not when someone likes my work but says that my work has inspired them so thank you very much for saying so. It made my day

Well thank you as well. Sometimes when I'm posting I wonder if anyone actually reads this stuff do its great to hear you and others follow these threads.
The Zetor tractor is actually a great machine. That old tractor works hard and has had a hard life but it keeps on giving its all. The farm that owns it has at least 15 modern tractors but the Zetor is the most reliable hands down. It's cool you reconized the shop as well.
Maybe you reconized it because I type to much

Thanks for commenting.

Thanks to everone who has posted pictures. I too, am a tool builder but not a machinest. I struggle just to hav etime to read posts here and to help. Anytime someone showes pictures of what they built, I'm all over it, do I need (want) that, can I build it , can I make it better.
I recently made a car pusher to go on the front of mybx but haven't had the time to take pictures. Keep it up guys.
