What Do You Build When...???

[Hydro Junkie]

Okay guys, you got me curious, what scale are those train layouts? At my house, we have the wife's "G" set that comes out for the holidays, when the front room doesn't look like a boat shop. Darn thing takes just about the whole room but it does look good with two Moguls and a German 0-4-0 switching engine running around pulling multiple holiday themed cars each. Now, if I could only teach her how the digital controller works..................

Ho scale . I have a daytime and nighttime as well as a storm cloud with thunder and lighting with sound. I ca post a short video if you’d like to see. All my buildings light up as well as street lights. I also have animated billboards that light up.

It's your call on the video but I'm sure others would love to see it. Nothing so complex in my case. All LGB rolling stock, track, transformers and controllers with a few buildings

I have a disease called Fidget'id'ous and it means that I basically can't sit still long.

I like to do a lot of things and have experimenting with milling out a beer tap handle for my buddy, rebar fish art, making wooden surfboards to cutting boards to turning bowls, to little welding projects.

Hope you enjoy.

The shifter handle has a back story. My buddy drove this ratty Wrangler without a shifter nob. Well, he also does up some good home brew and has the kegerator and such. So I decided to make him my version of a tap handle.

Fish --- I'll get bored in meetings, doodle something out on my notepad, bring it home and transfer it to the garage floor and make a fish.

Cutting boards for the families Christmas gifts this year.

Always wanted a longboard/skateboard, so I ripped up some pallets, bought the hardware and made one. While at it, invited the neighbor to make him one too. Mine is up front.

Did another wooden surfboard.

Spoon turtles for my team.

We build some silly stuff in drifting sometimes: mid 90s Nissans with big Chevy V8s under the hood, like my friend Brian here

I know the person who built a Porsche Type-64 and he is a model boater. His name Jörgen Andersson and I met him once in a life and I still can't believe in that.
Here is his page.

VW60K10 - Porsche Typ 64 - Berlin-Rome Rekordwagen - 38/43 Otto Mathé recreation. The Typ 64 is the ancestor of all rear engine Porsche 356 and 911. Porsche employee Erwin Komenda also designed the Beetle and the Porsche 356/550. Three Typ 64 was build 1939-40, one original car still exists. We have built this Typ 64 recreation during many years and now, November 2021 it is finally ready to drive.
