Custom grips for Instron test press
These are custom grips I made for use in an instron test press. I welded a nut on large strap shackles. This allows adaptability for either using threaded rod to pull the specimins in tension or adapters I made to

Metal Concrete Mold for Freeze Thaw Specimens
I made this metal concrete mold out of C channels and a Bridgeport Mill. All of the parts were laid out so each piece could be interchangeable. All of the mounting points were drilled out with a #7 drill bit and

Motor and Fan Replacement in a Despatch Oven
I replaced this motor and squirrel cage fan out of this Despatch Oven. The circulation fan over the years had become encrusted in dust causing it to be out of balance. This wrecked the bearings on the fan. I

Motor Upgrade for an LA Abrasion Machine
This LA Abrasion Machine had an aging motor on it. I picked something modern that would accept the same shaft diameter for the gear. Then I ordered an equivalent replacement knowing that the frame was going to be an inch

Lockable Compartments for Equipment Storage
These compartments were made using existing cabinets. Each part was sectioned off to itself using Masonite and strips of 1” by 1” wood. I just put hasps on all of the sections after that and added padlocks to it so

Concrete Mold
Here is a concrete mold that I designed and put together. The dimensions had to be rigid, and very precise to meet standards. We were short on time and these molds had to be made quickly. I cut out all

Nerf Maverick Rev-6 Mods
There are plenty of instructables out there for doing these mods. I did this a while back with a dremel tool and a drill and drill bits a while back. I didn’t feel too worried about modifying one as it

Tell-Tale for Measuring Vertical Displacement of Soil Deformation.
Here are some tell-tales that I welded for a project. I have a more efficient design using threaded rods, nuts washers, and a much smaller outside diameter tubing used in other projects. I made several for this project. Tell-tales are
