Yeah Blah, the sun biscuit experiments end result didn look very appetizing but it was definitely done.
Sun Tea? An hour or less gets the job done and if you leave it out for more than 2hrs. it gets a lot stronger than I care for so you hafta keep an eye on it. I actually make a lot of "Moon Tea" batches by just settin it out and leavin it overnight instead. Cold brewed tea seems to be a bit less bitter too so this works out great
I'm in the process of buildin a house inside my shop building so my current kitchen is kinda in flux. With some crappy tile already in here I wanna replace anyway I don't really care too much for what happens to it at this point though my home boy engine stand has a drip tray under it to keep oil, solvents and tools from makin it to the floor anyway.
After havin used several different stands over the years and never carin much for any of 'em, I designed and built my own a while back.
My major complaint was they were all too short and lead to leaning over too much to work on the engines which adds back strain unnecessarily, so mines about 18" taller than most. 2ndly they are usually 3 wheeled contraptions that tend to tilt/lean when you get to torquin the head(s) down so this one has a wider/longer stance w/ lawnmower size tires in the back and smooth urethane swivel casters up front instead of the cheezy small diameter steel casters they usually use which makes it a lot easier to roll around the shop too and ... it can easily roll over extension cords and such too, unlike the store bought ones.
The last 2 additions were a handy lil tool tray with a foot that slips into the end of the tubing that makes up the front of the H shaped base frame and is secured by a lock bolt. Then instead of usin a drilled and pinned arrangement which offers a pretty limited choice for the engine rotation/positioning on the stand I installed a cuppla locking bolts onto the outside of the rotator sleeve and then welded a 1-7/8" nut onto the back of the engine holding fixture and welded a piece of pipe to hold a 3/4" ratchet and 1-7/8" socket I can use to easily rotate the engine into any position, then lock it down.
While a cheapie $40 stand will get the job done I've found this design to be much more user friendly, and with myself bein the user, I sure prefer it bein friendly
