What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

The jack on my 20 ton Harbor Freight press has leaked since it was new. I should have returned it earlier for a replacement but I kept putting it off. I’ve tried wrapping every threaded plug with Teflon tape a couple different times but could never get it to fully stop leaking, so I just replaced it with another 20 ton jack. The foot plate of the new one wasn’t quite as big as the original. I was able to drill a hole in the plate on the back side but the front didn’t have enough surface for a complete hole. Had to notch it and just use a washer under the bolt to clamp it down.

I have the same press. Luckily it has served me well and no leaks. I love your handle storage. Mine is always just stuffed somewhere. I’ll put that on my list.
 
Been porting a few cyl heads for friends. Just a rough street port for these as I refer to it, no polishing because I am doing them for free and thier motor builds arent that wild like some of the others that I do
