Now if I could just make it fit it would make some serious HP We performed a major overhaul on some Ingersoll Rand engines at work and a few pistons were out of spec and needed to be replaced. I took one of them home to make a vise stand out of. The bare piston weights 400lb. Sitting next to the piston is the wrist pin and a used intake valve out of the same engine. Thought it made for a funny picture.

That bike is so stunning, it took me a while to notice the piston, pin, and valve sitting next to it. |

At first I thought..."Honey, I shrunk the bike!" Then I thought..."Lookie thar Tiny Elvis! That thang's HUGE!" (for the old SNL watchers) That vice fits in pretty well too. |

Thanks, I would really LOVE to build a shop but don't have the room, or the money. So I did my best to convert my small two car garage into a shop. The cars stay outside, only the Buell, my scooter (1961 Lambretta TV175) and my tools get to stay inside :-) I tried to talk the wife into selling the house and building a huge shop with a "house" built into one end, she didn't quite go for it. Not sure why, sounded perfect to me Hodakaguy (Message edited by hodakaguy on December 19, 2006) |

"I tried to talk the wife into selling the house and building a huge shop with a "house" built into one end, she didn't quite go for it. Not sure why, sounded perfect to me" I think every guy has fantasized about his perfect home/shop. Mine was a huge steel building with two bay doors and an apartment built into one corner. I got the blank stare when I proposed that one, too... so our garage is my shop. |
