    3D Puzzles

    Entertainment Center

    98 Tacoma 4X4

    I've had this truck since 02 and it's been good to me so even though it gets beat on pretty good offroad, I do freshen up certain parts from time to time.

    First Try @ a Wind Chime

    Made this for a white elephant party tonight for our local Model T Club. Came out o.k. considering when I woke up this morning, I had no idea what I was going to create. If I'd have had more time I would have done some creative finish or something on it.

    Compressed Air Plumbing options

    Option 1: Rapid Air This would be a pretty simple install and not a bad price. Assuming it's just 1/2 poly tubing of some sort I could also add easily using McMaster's huge source of fittings seen here McMaster Carr Or I can run hard copper line and solder it which just sounds like a ton of...
