    I installed a light into the tool box so I can see better, especially in the dark. Seems to work a little too well though.

    A good aluminium polish works by removing microscopic oxidation from the surface of the metal. The smoother the finish gets, the clearer the reflection becomes. That can be both i…

    You ever slam a tailgate so hard it don’t work right for days? Regular maintenance like oiling the latches and hinges can help with that. Or just don’t be so rough on the gear to…

    When the workshop is busy it can feel like you’re here there and everywhere all at once… that’s why it’s a good idea to keep your gear organised so you know where you need to be a…

    Today’s work uniform features maximum airflow to prevent overheating and a tight fit to avoid loose material catching on things. Would your workplace consider implementing it?

    Good automotive paint should reflect like glass. That’s not easy to do, which is why a good spray painter will charge a pretty penny.

    Most people don’t realise dirty glass can increase glare, especially at night. A good automotive glass cleaner removes the oily film regular cleaners tend to leave behind. Makes i…

    You can tell a lot about paint on a car or truck by the reflection it gives. If it’s not super clear and crisp then it’s probably not a good quality professional job.

    Brake dust hides a lot of detail. Apparently workshop lighting does the exact opposite.

    In a small workshop environment airflow is of upmost importance to work comfortably and productively. I do things like open up doors and wear clothing that allows maximum airflow…

    Just a quick trip to the toolbox. In theory, very straightforward. In practice… a few unexpected distractions.

    I set up this simple pulley system to lift stuff on the back of my truck. Just testing it out to see if it moves mountains 🤣

    It’s a nice day to take the shop truck out to run some errands!

    Perspective is a wonderful thing… if you ever have an issue with something in the workshop, 90% of the time it can be solved just by looking at it differently.

    A disorganised workshop can make you feel like you’ve been spending more time walking around looking for things than doing actual work. I try to have a place for every part and ev…

    Pulley systems can help you achieve all sorts of interesting things in the workshop. If rigged correctly they could move mountains (well almost… 🤣)

    Wheels seem to get dirtier than paint, yet wheels are easier to clean than paint… how does that work?

    Funny what a bit of light and movement can create in the shed. Roll the door up and suddenly things get… interesting.

    Most people focus on paintwork, but wheels take the real punishment. Clean them properly and suddenly there’s a lot more going on down there. Hard to ignore once you’ve noticed.

    A good bench vice does more than just hold your workpiece for you, It could move mountains if you wanted it to. Mine cops quite a bit of misuse yet is still solid as a rock and do…

    Cleaning automotive glass is quick and easy, and it’s one of those small details that often get overlooked, yet always makes a massive difference to the overall look of your truck.

    It’s amazing what you can achieve with a slightly different perspective every now and then 😄

    It’s nice when there’s a gap in the weather and I get to drag the truck out into the sunshine. Sometimes a quick run down to the tractor supply is enough to keep me happy until th…

    Who doesn’t love slamming the tailgate… 😁

    Back in the shed for another bit of low-budget science. A rope, a pulley, and a “what if” moment. Pulled on it to see the result… probably didn’t need a second trial.

    Older trucks are fun to drive most of the time, but a lot of them like mine don’t have air conditioning. So it’s important to dress for the drive, I’ve also installed aftermarket…

    Garage roller doors date back to the early 1900s, designed to maximise space while keeping everything neatly tucked away. Simple idea, very effective. Of course… what gets reveale…

    Testing the lifting action of the roller door across multiple conditions. Results were consistent. Very consistent.

    There’s no point going to all the trouble of cleaning your truck and not putting a bit of extra effort into the wheels and tires. A nice clean set of wheels sets off the entire lo…
