Building my mill...

[fishfighter]

Looking good. Sure glad I don't have to deal with snow loads down here. ;D

Wasn't worried about me but I hate seeing my tools getting wet...

Thanks...

We all are. But if you reach the end without some major aches and pains, you probably didn't do much.

At least that's how I justify it....I blame the hair loss on my mothers side of the family.  ;D

Looks good, that is heavy duty

[Kbeitz]

If I wasn't in the snow zone I would have used 2x4's not 3x8's.
3x8's 16 feet long sure are heavy and it's not easy trying to
cut 16 footers out of curved ash logs. It's done... I'm happy.
Today I will put in the lights. Works never done.

If it is any consulation, I could not lift a 16 foot 8x3.  You must be doing something right to be able to work alone with things like that.  I don't blame you for being glad it is done but it sure looks like it is going to be worth it, expecially since it is done.  I will be watching all your projects that you share.

I blamed that at the time of having two teenagers. :D

Looks great K.

Look good, K!  And you didn't destroy anything, right?  ;) I love recycling and using old stuff.  I can't believe somebody scrapped that roofing.  You must be surrounded by rich city folk down there cause you find wonderful stuff in your junkyard.

I don't know why but I bet at least once a month a load of roofing like that
comes in to the yard. I try to go shopping there at least twice a week...

[Kbeitz]

Done.... Done... I got lights    ... I quit for the weekend.
Think I will go to the Legion for a break.

I wanted to weight one but that was to much work.

[Ox]

You deserve a good little pickling after all that work.  Lemme buy you a beer...     

Hmm.  I don't know why that's so small...

I got the log turner all finished. It's welded on the middle post of the new roof.
It sure got cold out. Last week It was in the 80's yesterday and today 30-40's.
Welding and working with metal gets cold on my old bones.




 



 



 

i like the piston man hanging on the wall

I wish I had the rest of what ever the piston man came out of.
I found that in the junkyard.. I just had to take it home.

Kbeitz, appears to be the internals of a radial engine, fairly common on early aircraift. 

[Kbeitz]

If I had more time I would make a gas engine out of it.
This is the last engine I made.



 



 

[fishpharmer]

Kbeitz, impressive!  Did you begin with the premade parts on the welding table?

[CaseyK]

Congrads on completing the roof it looks great.
Im suposta cut the logs and build a front deck / car cover for my daughter next week. Its going to be fun.

Yep... Started with an upright air compressor and two valve handles.

What do you run with it a blender?  lol


cool stuff

[Kbeitz]

I never did like the way it ran. The flywheels are to light for the engine.
You need to keep the RPM high or it wont keep running.
It's more fun with heavy flywheels where you can get very low RPM's

[fishfighter]

K, I'm impressed with you building that engine. That is way to cool.
