Wood hauler build | Time to finally build my wood hauling truck. Have some ideas that I've been kicking around in my head to make it easy/nicer so we'll see if they all pan out. Wanted the best base I could get so after about 5 years of looking for it, I finally found one. Wanted a bullet proof chassis and the best I know of is the Chevy Square body 1 ton 4x4. Here we go and lets get busy. |

57 Chevy | This is the first car I bought. I started looking when I was 11 years old. Watched the ads and saved my money. Dad took me to look at several but everything in my price range was bad rust wise. Ohio is really hard on cars. When I was 13 I found this one for $750.00. It had been side swiped in front of the guys house and the driver never stopped. owner had no insurance so decided to sell it. |

Fence spinner | Here is the build of the making of a wire spinner. It can be used to wind up other things as well but I have high tensile wire fence. When you build it or repair you need something that will allow you to unspool the wire. I never cared for the ones they sell so lets get to making it. |

Asphalt Outlaws trophy | Went to a Car show that was put on by a local club. Super nice people and one of the better shows I have ever attended. I ended up winning best of show and the rule is that if you win that award, the next year you have to make the trophy for the next years show. No real rules but they want it to be made by the winner and incorporate the vehicle theme. Here is the build of what I did. |

Surface grinder | This is my Reid Surface grinder I got from an Ebay auction years ago. I put a prayer bid on it and ended up winning as no else bid. They had quite a few of them and they were going pretty high but for some reason no bid and I got VERY lucky. Thye weren't real thrilled when I came to pick it up as it was complete with spindle. It was dirty and I tore it completely down and was REAL surprised. All the ways and Gibs still had all the original scrapping in very good shape. Basically no wear at all. Fixed a few broken oil springs and lube everything up. Painted it and has been a nice piece for me. I added a suction system and digital readout. Didn't have a chuck or dresser but I added those too |

Depth Gauge/Raker Grinding Fixture | This is the making of the Fixture to grind Depth Gauge or Rakers on chainsaw chain to equal depths and easier. I've done it by hand for years bur wanted something that would make this job easier and better at the same time. I have a surface grinder here at home and will use that as the way to grind. the fixture will just hold the chain and be adjustable for any chain out there. |

Century Farm sign build | Our homeplace has been in our family for over 100 years now. Ohio has a program that recognizes farms that have a 100 year tradition and make available signs stating that. Wanted to make something that would last with no maintenance and look nice at the same time. Here is what I came up with. |

Saw keeper and length guide This is a little project that has turned out to be very simple to do and very handy. keeps the saws from sliding around in the back of the bed and holding folds up and stores in minimal space. Less than $30.00 and a few hours to do.
Also made up a length guide that attaches to any saws bar. This keeps them uniform in length when doing large rounds. Some times my eye gets off when you start cutting 3 ft plus diameter logs. |

conveyor | This is an album of the build up for a wood conveyor. Bought the conveyor itself from a Kmart that was going out of business. I want to use it to make loading and unloading a little easier. Want to put some other features into it that will make it more versatile to use it for more things too so here we go! |

EAB cleanup | Here is an album of the clean up project at my place. EAB (European Ash Bore) has or will kill all the ash trees around here. The small woods behind my home was mainly ash so it is devastated. It had also been overgrown with honeysuckle which we had not been taking care of. I will now get rid of the stuff and clean up all the dead ash on the ground. That way I can leave the standing dead till I have room for them here. I will seed grass and when the dead are out I will replant some trees so there is something up there. If I plant now I'm afraid of smashing them when felling what's left. |

Wood Cart | Here's an album on how I rebuilt my little woodcart to stand up to the weight it hauls. Put about a 1/4 of a cord on it at a time so it can be around 1000 lbs. |
