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

Closed Loop Chilled Water System for an Enerpac Pump
We needed to cool a hydraulic pump because we were going to run it longer than specs would allow. I made brackets to mount a tank to a stand. Then I used hose fittings to hook up the tank to

Soils Box C-Channel Rack
The face of the soils box is a bunch of C-Channels that bolt the the face of the box. The students work their way up as the compact soil so it is handy to be able to assemble the

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 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

1978 Rigid Puch Free Spirit
This is a 1978 Rigid Puch Free Spirit that I have been working on for too long. A previous owner had the shocks welded in with what looks like tubes off of a dolly. I cut off the seat post

Self Reacting Large Scale Loading Frame, 100 kip (100,000 lbs) capacity.
Here is a full scale railroad testing frame that I helped put together. The hole pattern was decided and each column had to be drilled out with a magnetic drill. This took a lot of time to do. A plate

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

Pneumatic Cyclic Loading Upgrade for Test Frame
We needed to run cyclic loading for a project. It uses an electo-pneumatic transducer with an input of 0-10 volts with a pnuematic cylinder with a spring return, along with a wave form generator to make it cycle. We did
