Made a new tool

[67ventwindow]

You got it. It's a cooking implement. Great for making burritos and frying up bacon. Also great for frying Chicharróns.
My boss calls it a Disco (pronounced Deesco), know know what y'all would call it.
Propane bottle sits underneath. Still have to put the gas line on

Made it out of an old 6lug Chevy rim with messed up lug holes, a disc harrow blade, and some steel stock.
Was gonna use a burner from an old water heater, but my boss said it was too big and bought me a brand new burner instead.

I was thinking mud bugs. Some one joined from Louisiana and crawfish have been on my mind since then.

Chicharrons? That Tripe, fried guts?

No, its cubed pork fat. Tastes like bacon, but thicker, and less meat Involved. Great in burritos or taco. Local thing I guess. Not healthy, but sure is tasty when done right.

You could use it for that if you had a crawfish pot.
I've seen ones made just for that, same basic design, but its usually shorter with a big pot.

Painted up the Deesco today.
Did the bottom frame in standard semi-gloss black, rim and disc is ultra high heat semi gloss black. With some red accents just for fun, hehe.
Plummed and connected the has lines too (not pictured).
Hopefully this weekend, we'll finally hook a gas bottle to it and try it out.

Yep, fairly regional/ethnic thing I think. "Disco" is just Spanish for "disc", as in plow disk, and I've seen plenty that were nothing but a scrap plow disk that you can set over a fire, plenty of others that rival any pellet smoker in how well thought out and fancy they are. I've seen a few discos set up to use a rosebud oxy/acetylene torch as a heat source in welding shops. That one looks pretty nice, and is making me hungry just looking at it...

Exactly. This one is made from a disc harrow disc also, but we refined it a bit more. Designed to run on propane like a standard grill. And yeah that's just the Spanish work for it. Not the greatest name but all I know to call it haha.

Thank you.

Made a oil pump priming tool for a Chevy. I just bought one, and it seems kinda cheap to me. I have a distributor I wasn't ever going to use. So I got busy on making one

I love to build my own tools. Built several over the years. I wanted a nice BIG bench vice that I could really hammer on, and I didn't want to spend $1000+ dollars, so I built my own. Expensive part was the 1" threaded rod and coupling nut. Got scrap metal for it from stuff I had lying around and from a welding shop. It's a little slow to operate with standard course threaded rod, so I left a nut on the end so I could zip it in and out with my impact. I use a 1 1/2" wrench when I really want to clamp down
