#shopmadetools
As part of the #shopmadetools effort, I took some pictures and a bit of video of some of the tools I have made over the years for various purposes. Some were made for the metal shop, some made for mechanic work, some for other purposes. Sadly, I don't have a lot of older pictures as many of them have been lost over the years. Hopefully some of what is here is of interest for you!

As a 40 year past metal shop teacher, I appreciate the first C clamp high school shop project reference. Thanks sir.

@EverettsWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Roger, I still use that clamp and quite like it because it is light and handy. I'd like to cast more of them and make more just because of that, and also because I'd love to make one for my shop teacher who put up with me 25 years ago. After being a shop teacher for 3 years in the mid-2000's I had even more respect for him than what I already had, lol!

Everett, there is no reason to sell yourself short. That shop made micrometer that you made really looks robust. And all of those tools you have made for work and friends are no less impressive than tooling made by other KZfaq contributors. Keep yp the incredible work. You are a kind soul in a world of scoundrels.

Back in the late 70's I worked in a diesel shop in the mines. We where lucky to have an awesome machinist, making forks for one of our tractors, specialized installers for seals, as you did, pump and compressor repairs, when parts availability was questionable (damned ancient gear even back then). Good memories.👍 Best wishes from Northern Manitoba.

@EverettsWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, we all have made tools of one sort or another in home shop settings, it just comes with the territory. I actually get a satisfaction out of making tooling that is different from making a part, hard to explain. I doubt Mr. Morrissette was watching the video, haven't talked with him in years, but he was an inspiration for me. I got most of my tinkering predisposition from my Dad, but Mr. Morrissette and my boss Barry at the shop where I worked as a teenager were two strong influences for me as well.

@user-wo7rz3yn4o 3 жыл бұрын

I have the same sentiments towards my old school shop teacher also " thanks for putting up with me as a teenager" . We also had a great little school shop back then. Now my boy goes to the same school and there hasn't been a shop there for 30 years.

@EverettsWorkshop 3 жыл бұрын

Sadly a lot of the school shops have disappeared in the last 25 years or so. I got to teach high school shop for a few years but the thing is that it's actually hard to get a job as a shop teacher now due to the far fewer shops. Mr. Morrissette was very cool though, one of my favorite teachers for sure.

Sounds like the word you were trying to avoid was "Brat." ??? Inconceivable! It's always good. When you can dream up secondary uses for "unitask" tools, that's really good. Sometimes wish I could find out if Mr. Elizondo was still around. Looking back, I can see that, near the end of the time period that he was my woodshop and drafting teacher, that he was doing what he could (without being obvious) to encourage my "outside the bounds" thinking and looking for ways around problems. He was one of several that I seen leave the field of teaching because of low salaries ... plus other things. He went trucking, another construction full time, several others went into the real estate market.

Why are we being delayed?

It took quite a while for City Hall to process my permit application, but then over the summer we had a lot happen in our family. Only recently have I been really able to get at working at insulation, drywall, wiring, etc. and hopefully in the next couple months I can have a semi-functional shop. Thanks for coming by!

You have been busy making tools. Tools used to make other tools.

It is a vicious cycle, really . . . . tools to make tools to make tools to make stuff, lol!
