A day cutting wood

[Magicman]

Road ah many ah mile in da back of one of those.   :-\

[rasman57]

Everything about your photo is just cool.....hard to get much more USA made and The American Small Business working than that.    Sgt. Hulka could be hiding in the back....

[logboy]

If you think that truck is cool, then there's a good chance you've never huddled in the back of one with two other squads of troops, freezing your butts off. Or for that matter, in the front, dislocating a vertebrae on every bump in the road. They are not built for comfort.

[Kbeitz]

Allways wanted one....
So I made one....



 

[deadfall]

I love it!   

Why are you logging and milling when you could be running your own theme park?

[Kbeitz]

I love it!   

Thanks....
I love my Jeep better...



 

[beenthere]

Go Army !!!

Kbeitz,
Where is your scale model train set? You and loggah ought to get together then  we would really see some redneck engineering. Compliments intended.

[Kbeitz]

This is not the place to post my builds....
I could fill up a few pages with the stuff I build..
Every year I build one or two things...
The Jeep is one of my favorites.

Well let's see a thread started!


What is that cluster of 3 switches for there on the left of steering wheel?

Air horns and siren...

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Thats got to be the neatest ride I've seen. You have a talent. 

[deadfall]

I had a 1951 Air Force Jeep.  It probably was only used for carting colonels and higher around tarmacs.  Some previous owner had it undercoated but it all fell off because the underside of the fenders were waxed. 

[Kbeitz]

Here is a video of it....

Kbeitz,what are you using for a running gear? Golf carts?

[Kbeitz]

Only in the jeep...
I use many things...
burden carrier was used for the Duce.

[Peter Drouin]

Had some customers bring in logs to cut for them. Some good, some not so good.


  

  

  

  Some with a free sign. :D :D :D


Cut a cherry mantel for a guy today and 2" slabs.

another place for grits :D :D  I guess we are not friends?  but a nice build for sure,,

[4x4American]

I pick up a new chain and bar for my Dolmar saw . I allso bought a small saw to cut slabs.


 

I had 5 minutes today to fab a table I'd been thinking about.


  

 
It is a little Mad Max but I think It will work.


  

 
I think I'll attach it where the hitch was.  And need to cut a little to get down on the jack.


 
Want to come down a ½".  I'll put some legs on it Monday and try it.
 

When I get my parts I can fix the mill too. This is what happens when you don't have the board return all the way down and use it. :D :D


 
But I did get the order all cut Friday.


  

 
And a little Iron. :D :D
All in a day cutting wood.

I want to build something similar to this how's it working for ya peter?  Do you have any pictures of it all setup? 

[Peter Drouin]

I'll get some.

[goose63]

I sure could use a truck like that

[4x4American]

Thanks, I preciate it.  I'm going to pick up a 1/4"x28"x4' plate today to get started on it.  Been sawing heavy slabs lately and I want to make it so that I don't need to have another person helping.

[Peter Drouin]

Here you go my friend.



  

  

  

 

I used 2" pipe and some feet I had. The whole thing comes off.
And is 1½" above the hydro box, 3 of the feet go to the floor and one on the mill. Most of the slabs pounding coming off a log goes to the floor and not the mill.

Good luck 4x4 

[4x4American]

Thanks, Peter, that helps more than you know!


I'm about 3/4 of the way there, this is where I'm at:

[Peter Drouin]

This load Monday.


  

  

  

 


And today


  

 
Then he showed up. :D :D


  

  

 

I'm going to be ½ the day scaling and putting them all away.  :D :D


 


Had a customer wanted some wood cut :
First this.


  

 
Then some Apple wood and red Oak.


  

 

Then I walked over to the logs I just got and saw this. :D



How much BF would take off from this log?
I bet It looks like this on the inside.
