completed build your burn projects

Start with what you have....

Completed a tail light system... Had an old tow light bar.. Cleans and painted it.. Bought a set of boat trailer LED (running and signal) lights.. These are sealed to go in the water.. Wired the lights to the light bar.. They will be powered from the trailer plug.. This need trailed lights.. So built a whole wire harness (had most of the wire) to serve the new lights and trailer light.. Had an old bike rack for cars.. Tried to sell it at 3-6 garage sales.. Even gave it away and it came back.. So stripped the straps and used them to mount the new light bar.. Stripped the plastic off and put the metal in the scrap pile for recycle.. Mounted the whole contraption high on the rear hatch w/the license plate in plan sight.. Tested it and it works great.. It can be seen over the utility trailer load.. Completed project
I'm the contraptioneer your mother warned you about.

Knocked out another project this morning..

Years ago, gas stations would a tire with a metal sign in it at the street... The sign would say what other the station had to offer.. Like free air.

So I needed a frontage sign for the camp.. Took the metal top and bottom of a paper barrel Recycled the cardboard sides.. Mounted old bikes tires on the lids.. Then posted my camp.. Caravansary.. unjonharley.. free desert air (you pump).. free gas (pull my finger) Bear your ass pillows mount here... And, some hardware store.. Cost, some ink from the Sharpy
