GIVING THANKS

Thanksgiving 2008,

I have a great deal to be thankful for.
a very understanding wife, and two great little girls..
a JOB (given the current economic situation)
and, I am thankful..

for simple things...



like ebay..

thanks to some dimensions he gave me, and his photo.. I started to make my own!




thanks jack! thanks ebay

IMPRESSIVE

A few quick photos of a part I made a few days ago..

this is the steel panel that mounts to the inside of the front doors, this panel covers and helps hold the window regulator in place..

I had found 1, but it was 200! plus shipping.. which was somewhat more than I was willing to pay for it..

I guess this one will work..

the process is akin to metal stamping.

I simply made the "dies" from plywood, maple and particle board.. and used MULTIPLE large C clamps to attach and squish the two halves of the dies to together.








Still working to trim and finalize this part of the project..
