What do your ugliest home made tools look like?

[HenriSteyn]

Made a few to make things easier.

Like my quick detach towbar connection for storing the van in the garage and removing it

[Ricof4e]

I have a sneaky suspicion that Chas will win this one hands down...

[henris]

I think we all are now disqualified.

Henri I have no idea what that is supposed to do....

But it certainly looks gnarly!!!

... I think Henry made it
early back in his Apprenticeship ... ?

[HenriSteyn]

The welding is good I assure you

My van is stored in the garage. It uses storage wheels (little steel wheels) because the van is too high to fit.

My driveway is heavily inclined. To get the van out I have to make sure it is as level as possible to prevent the rear of van catching on the top of the garage roof due to the incline.

Hence this compromise tobar.

Henri, if your Insurer is on this forum, I would advise that you remove the pic forthwith

These two wheel-spanners
are way smarter than Henrys construction.
... and as Ricoffy would observe,
the welding is better than I could do ...
I inherited them over the years ...
The top one applies a 23 ? socket
via a comfortable winding crank ...
The larger bottom one a 27 socket with a
smart handle :
... when tightening the applied moment
of the folded handle is approx 1/2
that of when loosening ...

... and this is the jig
that LX made up for me in his workshop ...
place a blunt drill in the precision aligned groove
and the underside is dove-tailed to slide
along the grinding wheel guard plate
... to sharpen the drill at correct angle ...

Real Men sharpen a drill freehand on the grinding wheel.

I can safely say after seeing Chas during lockdown that he is in fact the ugliest old tool in this club

... well ... I am, of course , a self-made success ...

I made this tool to clean my braai grid. Scrape off the fat and gritt.

[Bugger]

I also got a tool but can't show it here
