A handy bush tool vid I found...
yeh ...I made one of them after seeing that video about a year ago to try on wishbones....a little bit of mucking around elsewhere but certainly works if no press available.
Good old Roothy had plenty of these tricks, being an old bushie from way back
It's in line with a suggestion I made on the forum a while back re loaning tools out. If enough of these home variants were made we could loan out to a select few......maybe!!!
Here's a flange spanner I made, to prevent bending the studs on a transfer case. And a drift for the radius arm bushes, I had machined up for $10, (I provided the steel). I also made a hand vacuum pump by reversing the rubber washers in an old bike pump.
A home made G clamp....

I have a few of my homemade tools, i'll have a dig around
It seems that sometimes you need three hands, to re-assemble some small electric motors. Here is an easy to make tool for holding carbon brushes in the correct position, so it is easy to fit them over the commutator.
Measure the distance that the brushes need to be held, drill a hole in a piece of wood, big enough to accommodate the rotor shaft and / or bearing. Nail some wire brads or nails in a pattern around the hole that will hold the brushes, without snagging on the brush holder assembly.
Use pliers to snip off the nail heads, so it is easy to slide the assembly off after the commutator has been slid into place.
Place the brush holder over the tool and slide the brushes back, so they are held by the nails. Slip the commutator in, then lift both the commutator and brush holder off the tool.
I found this on the www. Metal bending machine.....
Some for flat steel bending/shaping
Heres an easy bending jig to make , Set the jaws to the correct width heat your steel and go for it,
Will bend ,flat ,round, square you name it
All it is is two pieces of angle iron with two 19mm rods welded to them
I have heaps so I'll put more later
A simple one I posted on another thread, for vacuum cleaning the dirt, sand and oil from around the spark plugs, before you undo them. For the RB30 spark plugs, the inner diameter is 20mm and the outer 23mm. I used electrical tape as a seal for the vacuum pipe.
If you have trouble using the small tubes of silicon for gaskets, I have found a a way to make it easy.
Keep an old silicon cartridge with the plastic plunger removed and the threaded bit cut off flush with the end.
Cut it to a length that allows you to push the tube's nozzle through the hole. Use a pair of pliers to fold the end of the tube enough to allow it to slide freely once you have placed it in the cartridge.
Adjust the plunger of the silicon gun to hold the tube.
Be careful not to force the trigger too hard or you may rupture the tube, especially if the nozzle hole is very small.
... works a treat in the Bathroom for KY Jelly, Colgate Toothpaste and Hemorrhoid Cream tubes as well.
Pays to ALWAYS double check what is loaded in the Gun before use tho and it is considered poor etiquette when visiting others to ask why they prefer the longer nozzles
I'll see if I can post up some Vids on correct techniques for use for you blokes to check out
Got a piece 90mm bright steel machined up to make a drift for the front hub bearing seals. Only $15 dollars at a small engineering shop.
Couldn't get Easy Outs because of Covid Lockdown, so I used an Allen key that was just slightly larger than the hole drilled through the broken bolt. Just make sure you hold the key straight as you tap it in with a hammer.
Edit: I think Easy Outs and such are made of steel that can be drilled out if they break. A broken allen key would require an especially hard drill.
Haha this is my version. Worked surprisingly well too.

For a joke.... Home made tools......
I was born on 08th July and conceived 9 months before that. LOL
A good mate of mine is pretty handy with a lathe. I was admiring the soft face hammer he had made himself and was stoked when he said he would make one for me for $80. His had aluminium and plastic faces which he replicated for mine but he also threw in a brass striking face as well as a bonus......really happy with it and it will last me a lifetime!!!

Mate 40 grit is way too harsh, if you fall over and land arse first you will have an instant coccygectomy.
And wish you had used 1200.😂😂😂
Legend Thanks Mick Mate, Appreciated Safety Advice will call tomorrow to degrit belts [emoji23][emoji106][emoji106]

Mad bustard!! Gunna take some hanging on brother! How big are the slabs you are wanting to put on that.
Nah not for slabs Daz Mate, maybe in the future we can bolt two together lengthwise and two inverted above for a single slab passes [emoji23]
This is simply a two man station planned for flat decking side by side the little 100mm diameter in half sliced cladding loggies [emoji1696][emoji106]

Will test out myself (Guinea Pig) speeds of up to 10kmph with some new 45 degree overhanging edge full length edge shields for +3mm aris edges required too to meet our AS4685 [emoji106][emoji106]
