This is the first work I've done in MONTHS!!! These are NASCAR type fuel cans. I had these laying around, so I thought I would add them to the Minions Garage. I got the parts cleaned up, and squirted some super glue on them (and my fingers) and stuck them together (the parts, not my fingers), holding them in place with my trusty clamps!! Felt good to finally get some work done!

Every good Minions Garage needs a bench grinder. Us good ol' country shadetree mechanics usually don't mount ours to a bench, tho. Here is what we use: An old big rig wheel....a piece of steel pipe....and a hunk of steel I-beam. I cut the pieces to end up around 3 scale feet high when assembled. "Painted" with a black Sharpie. Here it is all put together: Here's a mockup with the grinder on top: More to come!!

I almost panicked when I saw the wheel, I thought it was one of Mrs Bucky's sewing machine bobbins!!! Thought for sure you were a dead man walking!!!
Work looks great though!!! I actually have a handmade bbq out back that is welded to a truck wheel and steel casing, lol!!! Previous owner left it for me!!!

Thanks! I've dropped parts, spilled paint, painted and glued my fingers......just about everything but stabbing myself with an Xacto knife! But...there's still time for that!
