I have a full size Bronco project truck for cruising around town and driving to work in the summer.

I also like to build tailgate benches and I enjoy grilling out with a beer or 2.

Very cool @ToddACimer. Where do you get the tailgates? I'm glad to see you're angling them as the seat back. I'm in a woodworking group and I see so many people build benches with straight backs. o_O Your Bronco is cool too. How many OJ comments do you hear per day?

I buy parts at swap meets, junkyards and occasionally Craigslist when the pop up. I like junkyard parts as they typically have a bit more character. I've built 90 benches in the last 5 years and I've learned a thing or 2 about what works. I like having a sloped seat and sloped tailgate for comfort.

The Bronco does get a lot of OJ comments from people that don't know Broncos. People that do, know it's the wrong color.

I love building stuff , I try to have a build project every year. This year I chose a outdoor fireplace !!! Although I have enjoyed building it, I won't tackle another job like this , anytime soon !
I need to grout it yet, seal it and it will nearly be finished.
Going to make my own chimney cap !

I actually looked at the stackable fireplace kits at Minards. They are pricey , heavy and you had to glue each individual block. I have roughly 2k in this one and 2 months of work !

Hunting, competitive shooting, reloading/casting, fishing, camping, fabrication, developing our wood lot, and now getting into knife making.

Just finished my new trailer for hauling all the beetle kill on our wood lot and hunting. It has interchangeable draw bars so i can load the utv on the truck, and tow the trailer behind to get to the hunting grounds, then swap out for a drop drawbar to tow behind the pioneer.
