Show us something that you MADE

NY Strip, grilled asparagus with a balsamic reduction and what we call "skillet taters". I know wrong thread (Food Porn) but I made it.

Some of my work from this year:  A xmas "tree", a picture frame, a fire pit, an etched piece of steel, a muscle up bar

Challenge style smoker? All in I have $17 in it

It's a propane tank a buddy was tossing, a dialysis machine cart, the stack is the tailpipe from the 92 Caprice wagon (and holds the lid when open) I tried to field in the $2018 Challenge but ran into engine problems and some pieces from a busted boat trailer my neighbor gave me.  "Maiden voyage" is next weekend 

A place to park all my Porsches...

The only thing keeping me from putting all of you guys to shame is high-end tools...

(...and complete lack of talent. Can’t forget the lack of talent)

I should post a picture of my son Tom, making something. That would take this to the next level!

We have some very talented people here!

Just wait until just married makes you a grandpa.  That’s next level

Welded taps into 1/4 drive deep well sockets,easy to use in tight spots

You etched Smith Mountain Lake onto a piece of steel?

I've made many things.  This is without a doubt the scariest thing I've ever made.

My apologies for the Blair Witch Project cinematography.

I made this flower in the glass sculpting studio

Well, to be more specific, I etched all the area except for the lake :)

Fire pit thing made from a dryer drum.  Polished stainless and the fins make the smoke swirl and go straight up.

I made this end table but my wife decorates it.

Last creative thing I have made are these ammo can BOOM boxes. Amp runs of 12v dc or 120v ac. Rechargeable battery included inside with external charging port. FM tuner,  Line input, sd card and USB inputs.  Remote control. Sound really good. Saw the expensive ones out there and thought, I could build one for much less. have ended up building several. I use mine mostly as computer speakers. Gave one to the co-worker who sourced me the cans and he uses his while camping and on military drills. The guys in his unit have ordered several. Surprised at how people react to them. The eyes glow red with the bass on the ones with the skull speakers

I would like to see the amp & components used.

The ammo can "boom" box is cool.  There's like a million uses for those things.  They are also great to store ammo.  Who knew?

I don't have a build thread presently, but next one I build I will document. Pretty simple, all parts are from Ebay. Hole saw two holes for the two speakers, square hole for amp.  Wire speakers to the amp. At that point you can use it via car battery with cigarette plug cord or 120v wall cord (included with amp). I added a 12v alarm system battery and charging port later to make them more portable.  Punisher emblem is a stencil. The amps come in all kinds of configurations (I forgot to mention bluetooth capability in my first post) so choose what you need. Some come with microphones so you can use it as a public address system, some don't have bluetooth, some don't have FM. So pay attention to the listings to make sure you get the options you want. Here is a ebay listing example of the amp https://www.ebay.com/itm/50W-Home-Car-Bluetooth-Subwoofer-Hi-Fi-Bass-Power-Amplifier-Board-Audio-USB-IR/322447028402.  i have used several different types. You realize that overseas people put these in automobiles as a sound system instead of a conventional radio. You can buy ones that look more modern, but the ones that look like military equipment from the 1960's look the best when installed in the box
