Here's what I'm working on this afternoon. I had this Husky air tool that never worked right. When you pull the trigger it would sometimes just blow air. Back in the day HD wouldn't take it back. So it just stayed in my main tool box.  I almost chucked it last week, I decided to take it apart and see what makes it tick.  One thing I found is there is a small rod that seems to keep the three internal pieces aligned.  But the holes on the pieces are much larger, 1/8.  And the 3 pieces shift a lot.  I noticed I could turn it to the point of almost closing off the air hole.  So I got some 1/8 stainless rod, and I tried to find some new air vanes but looking them up by dimension the only thing I could find close and cheap! is some for an Astro pneumatic when they get here hoping I can make them work.  The ones on the gun were swelled, and sticking in the vane slots.  Which is probably the real culprit.

This wouldn't cooperate in my first post.  Transmission/reaend lube installer.  Works like a charm.  No runs, no drips, no puddles.

Hey, I actually have a pair of those hose clamp pliers!  Lol.  Guess what this is?  Since we all know, I'm showing my contribution to it.  An old outer wheel bearing that got a second life.

 
Looks like the one I give fab info for on my website.

It is. I'm not taking credit for the tool, just adding a bearing. When I made mine I used a shock bottom.   When I went to use it, I didn't like the friction.  That's when I added the old bearing.   Made it work like butter.    I always meant to weld one up more "pretty" but just never did.   That was the timeframe that my old Lincoln wasnt welding properly.

I wasnt implying you were taking credit, I was just saying they’re similar. The one on my page has a wheel bearing too.

I wasn’t the first to make this sort of compressor so I don’t get the credit either 😁😁😁

 
Nice!  You made the bearing replaceable!  That is dedication!

You got some weird ones there.  
Some sort of holding Philips screwdriver?
Maybe a floating die holder for a tailstock?

I'm at a loss on the thing with the two tapered mandrels welded to it, they look like ring mandrels.  Maybe for tying balloons?

Also have no idea what the clamp with the spherical roller is for.
 

First one looks like a hand held English wheel, second one is a sand blast gun made from an air gun.
Ingenious for sure.

I am working on making a set of expanding mandrels for my lathe.  Best part is these were made from an old worn out Mustang strut rod.  I love making things from junk.
