    Tires, Softopper, fully armored, winch, many pinstripes.
    And 3/4" pipe clamps can give you far more clamping pressure than you could ever use.

    Yep, and this is a cost that needs to be added in the total cost of a pipe clamp. Lowe's has the pipe clamps for $25/clamp, but then you need to add $20-25 for pipe, bringing the total cost to $45+. Now some will say that you can buy just a few main clamps and swap them out to different lengths of pipes, but for convenience sake, I think I'd rather have clamps all ready to go. HF has parallel clamps that get great reviews for a little less than the "brand names" elsewhere. I might end up getting several of those.

    So don't buy your pipe from the big box stores. Buy the length you need from a smaller supplier. And catch the clamps when they are on sale and you'll spend half as much.

    I made a jig to hold my grinder, which cuts out the concave side of spoon.

    First one I made tonight, i used it as a template for the next one.

    Spoon is hickory

    Ugh brings back memories. My grandmother used to spank me with one like that that my grandpa made in his woodshop. Hahaha not kidding.

    Nice work though

    I hope this counts, got rid of the tile. I had to make the tongue and groove and try to match the existing floor of my old house, I’m happy with it. Still need a few small details but almost
