Title: Recent projects Post by splash07 on 06/22/11 at 16:44:02 I have not had much time for the bike lately, unfortunately, but I have managed to get some other smaller projects accomplished. Here are a few shots. A hand truck I found on the side of the road with a busted wheel. Before: http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0508111621.jpg new wheel of fleabay 5 bucks shipped. http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0508111621a.jpg After: http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0515111147.jpg My trash can rain barrel and garden http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0613111735.jpg http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0613111735a.jpg http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0613111736.jpg Gary fisher frame brought back to life after being stripped by hoodlums :-[http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0523111825.jpg http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0601112017.jpg Finally, my jetta's roof rack and fog light installation. http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0622111917.jpg http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0622111918.jpg http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac30/splash07s/0622111919a.jpg Next up, a certain suzuki savage needs some attention. |

Title: Re: Recent projects Post by tragicallysteph on 06/22/11 at 16:57:25 Nice Jetta and love the fogs! How do like it? Which model is it? Traded in my '06 TDI for a '10 Golf TDI last year. Love the VeeDubs. |

Title: Re: Recent projects Post by drharveys on 06/22/11 at 19:52:20 Nice projects -- Those are great hand trucks/dollies. It'll come in handy in places you'd never even think of, till you have one! |

Title: Re: Recent projects Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/23/11 at 03:50:21 Looks like a QCE answer on that trellis. You build the frame & then run string on it? QCE is Quick, Cheap, Easy. How much time & $$ you got in that hand truck including paint? |

Title: Re: Recent projects Post by babyhog on 06/23/11 at 05:08:19 Mmmmm, nothing like fresh home-grown 'maters. Can't believe I didn't grow any this year. Shame on me. Great jobs! (I had a red Jetta several years ago. Miss it like crazy!) |

I love my V-Dub, its a 2010 TDI Jetta, I used to have a 2006 TDI Jetta but I wrecked it pretty bad and insurance bought me this one. Great car that gets around 40 MPG with a turbo charged dino burner. |

The trellis is a simple design I saw online somewhere. Yes, I just built the frame and then ran twine down from that to hold up the plants. It is working really well and I have a ton of tomatoes growing. The hand truck was CHEAP. I got the frame free on the side of the road and the only parts I had to buy were one replacement wheel and two new casters. I already had most of the supplies I needed including paint, all I had to buy in terms of tools was a jar of naval jelly to strip off a lot of the rust. I probably put around $30 in it when it was all said and done. New I think they are around $65, so i guess I came out on top. It just makes me happy knowing I brought something back to life that was on its way to a landfill. |

Title: Re: Recent projects Post by splash07 on 06/23/11 at 07:58:50 No good websites specifically, I just google image searched for " tomato trellis" and A whole slew of designs came up. Mine is a modification of one that I saw a picture of. |
