We need the action, keeps the place alive, gets us thinking and learning all in one go and the Dudes get to say a piece.
So win win all round.  Somebody has to fill the blank pages here,  and who better than an old hand like U.  
U just keep 'em rolling in.  
We appreciate the creativity and problem solving. "Tis obvious U one heavy experienced Mack ( Motor Mechanic, we say down here )

Since I changed the wheels on my compressor to larger ones to add some height for accessing the drain valve, the feet needed to be extended so the compressor sits reasonably level. I got'r done today.

Every posting, no matter how trivial, was a solution to a problem with a project U accomplished well.  By tackling that specific problem and achieving what U originally set out to do is the sweet satisfaction of success which U shared.  Makes one eager to tackle and undertake bigger problems in the knowledge that U have the ability and can do something to put it aright.
Mike similarly showed a small post box cover he initially resolved and then his other much, much more complicating technicalities. Each has its place here and I don't think we should be embarrassed about it, although I do know the pros abounding here would see our work as kinder garden stuff in comparison.
But we all started out somewhere whilst they may have been in this business for donkeys years.  So whose to blame.
So really it is "Metal working FUN" at the end of the day.
And we enjoy it all.

Absolutely. I love looking at all projects and they are all a solution to an existing problem or issue. It is neat to see how each person approaches an issue diferently, or similarly.

And beleive me, I am no professional machinist, I am a mechanic who learned how to machine, weld and fabricate.
