Modifications To Make Auto Ramps More Useful
Bob Moty, Crystal Lake, Ill.: "I made a couple modifications to make my auto ramps more useful. The first was reinforcing them on the sides with some scrap steel. Next, I bolted 8 by 12-in. pieces of belting onto the lower ends of each ramp. This way when the tire rolls up onto the belting, the ramp is held in place as the car rolls up onto it, rather than scooting away.
  "I have also come up with an easy way to mark logs while cutting firewood. I took 2 pieces of 1-in. diameter shaft, 5-in. long and ground them to a point. Next, I welded a piece of 1-in. rectangular tubing between them. The markers are 16 1/4 in. apart, and when cut with a chainsaw logs come out exactly 16 in. long."
