What's on your Work Bench?

[Randyzzz]

Mostly finished. I still have to seal the top and do a “backsplash” for lack of a better term. I set it up to fit a steel strip along the front too. In good time…

Rock on Randy! Great start!

Speaking as a 6'6" guy, tall counters and work benches are fantastic. I built my bench tall too. Even our new kitchen is 3"taller. Even our shorter friends like it.

This is good stuff. My son is coming up on moving into his new barndominium. 48’ x 36’ with 14’ ceiling downstairs. He’s going to have to build work benches from scratch, blank page.

That is simply beautiful. I'm envious of your son.....

Looks nice and strong Randy! Love it.

Jack fail



Similar shape and design to the CJ ones, but clearly not correct.

I was just gonna say on your other post that those jacks are bringing good money.

2013 Toyota Tundra 4.6L V8, 106,000 miles.

Multiple cylinder misfire code, and cylinder specific codes on 2,6, and 8. Changed out the original plugs for a new set, good to go.



The Tundra is nowhere near as bad as those Ford Triton V8 bastards!!! But, still took about 3 hours to change 8 plugs, clean the mass air flow sensor, and throttle body. Runs great again, no codes. Original plugs looked wore out.

Stihl MS361 chain saw:



Finally got my replacement part, it was fun trying to track down why it was leaning out and would not hold a tune:





Runs like a champ now!!! Cut down three stumps with it to test it out, definitely much more powerful then my 250 or 290!!!!!!

Is it set for winter or summer air induction? I asked sombody that once and they looked at me like I was an idiot. I showed them and they felt like the idiot.

Go big or go home!

It’s a southern model. Summer squared ! 83 F today along the gulf coast.

Definitely summer. I don't think I have ever had to move that deflector piece down here 😆

Oh! You mean the spark plugs that snap off when you are removing them due to carbon buildup? Been there...done that....and have the special removal tool... PIA for sure!

Yep, got the two tools for the Ford, sucks. The one I worked on had the original plugs. After having 3 break/come apart, learned a trick:

Get one plug/coil pack ready to pull. Start engine and get it hot. Immediately shut off and pull plug. The last 5 came out no issues. I had to change this Ford's plugs the other day, did them one at a time with a hot engine, all 8 came out with no drama!!

I only changed the plugs once on our Expedition wit the 5.4 engine. Luckily I learned about the issue before trying to pull the plugs. I got 7 out cleanly but the 8th broke. And it was, of course, in the worst position to work on. I used the impact wrench method I saw somewhere. Warmed it up and hit it with the impact. The removal tool got the last one out. Then, about 4 months later, my then 17 year old son totaled the Expedition by rear ending a stopped Prius. So I won't need to deal with those plugs ever again.
