Homemade Oil Barrel Lifter

I made this for a mechanic friend who owns his own garage. He collects waste oil from places and uses it in his shop heater.  With this, he can now lift the  barrel up and down to load and unload from his truck easily.

Fire Barrel Scenery

During the winters we still like to have fires. I had the idea to make a barrel sized fire ring out of a hot water heater.  Since I wanted to be able to see the fire I found one of our metal cutouts that we were not using and I added it for a scene in front of the fire.

     When I was 13 years old, in 1977, I started stock car racing at the Collier County Speedway in Naples, Florida. I lied about my age so I could  race.  I raced at that track until they closed in 1985.  I raced at other tracks in the years following. Some tracks in Florida and then later in New York and Vermont.
