Three new toys

[Frank_Pender]

I just picked up three toys today, new to me.  Any guesses?  I will try and have alice help in posting pictures tomorrow.   Got two of them today and bringing the third home on Saturday. 8)

[Furby]

New toys for you ???
Could be anything!!!
A hint would help. ;)

[Kirk_Allen]

A four sided moulder, another Planer, and ANOTHER saw mill :D

[Frank_Pender]

No new sawmll, not the new St Bernard, two are actual toys, one is an actual working ground moving machine, not the new log loader being built to pull behind the F450, not a new tin hat, nor a new Stihl,

[sprucebunny]

An attachment for your tractor ???

[Jeff]

one is an actual working ground moving machine

A Walker?

Sorry Frank. Couldnt resist. ;)

[DonE911]

Ground moving machine.... hmmmmmm ....  a post hole digger?


New toys ....  thats a tough one....   a tennis racket ?  Shuffle board set?? :D :D

[Tom_Averwater]

did ya get  a PHD (post hole digger ) ? Bobcat ?

[Timburr]

One of the toys....a camera?

Working ground moving machine has to be a shovel or pickaxe :D :D

[wiam]

Timburr you beat me on the shovel. :D :D

Will

[Timburr]

Wiam, if I was going to beat you, it wouldn't be on the shovel!! :D :D

[Frank_Pender]

No hand tools involved.   Again two of the items are real toys.  They both are the same item, one smaller than the other.    They are replicas of equipment used around sawmills.

I snuck over to Frank's last night and he's holding out on us, It's not three, but 4 new toys.  I took a couple of photos...













:D :D :D :D

[Frank_Pender]

Close Dave, but no cupi doll.   :'(

  They are not plastic toys, but puiter.   Again, used in the older sawmills from back in the forties, 50's and perhaps some 60's era mills.


One toy is still being used at the Hull Oaks Mill in Bellfountain, Oregon.  Some of you puter whizes might be able to find a picture of the toy if you can find the mill site.  I have refered the site to the Forum some time back. ;D

[Gilman]

Pocket full of metal rivets to repair their boiler with?

:D :D :D
That was hilarious Gilman

[Frank_Pender]

Jodi, do not get pulled into David's humor.  I believe he is toying with everyone. :D :D :D :D :D

[Frank_Pender]

Most of the units I am speaking of use to run with a chain drive.  Just another hint.

Another: they were developed here in Dallas, if I am not mistaken. ???

[Frank_Pender]

The person that developed the lifesize machines, at one time had been business partners with the Swindel family. 

Another tidbit of trivia, is that the company making the machine use to purchase white lightening from a couple fellas I once knew (now passed on).   The made the thirst quenching liquid about 7 miles South of town during prohibition days.   The company provided the refreshment in order to keep some of the better machinests and such,  You might call it a fringe benefit or overtime pay.


The refreshement producers said, "You weren't really a moonshiner unless you had spent a night or three in the "Pink Pokie" ."

[Paul_H]

A lumber stacker?

[Frank_Pender]

What do you mean by a lumber stacker, Paul? ???

[Gilman]

A prune dryer?

[Jeff]

David must be needing some prunes for something?  I do use old prune dryer dolly wheels from my kiln dollys, though. 8) 8) 8)


      A new hint:


  Use to use them for moving lumber from the greenchain area to the holding yard or the planer end.
