Better on a tractor... wear that seat belt for the first time. (There is a huge movement to plant 20 million trees in the next year. I'd imagine watching these videos of a guys banging down 20 live trees a minute would trigger that entire group...:) Or at least demoralize the poor guys who have...

Yikes! Reminds me of doing pistol training. We'd get ladies in with V-neck T-shirts and we'd have to pull them aside and explain "hot brass." We'd try to place the most "vulnerable" ladies next to the revolver shooters. :) Safety FIRST (ahem).

Good news Sean. 20 years is good service for anything. They are still making solar helmets but just make sure yours is solar. https://defensegears.com/best-auto-darkening-welding-helmet-reviews/#jackson-safety-bh3-welding-helmet-review

Welcome Paul!

MASS x VELOCITY! If you have enough of either... (OFF SUBJECT ALERT: Ever hear of "Rods From God?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4Q2zlOdmr4)

David, Thanks for the info on helmets. It's important for everyone using an auto-darkening helmet to understand the "care and feeding" of that helmet. I just wanted people to understand that just because a helmet has a solar array on it does not mean that is is auto charging. And, as you...

Len and I were talking yesterday and he mentioned this cool tool used for taking down trees. I had never seen it before and thought I'd post it up for anyone who might need something like this. Thanks Len! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_VljUmmCvE

Speaking of welding, you have probably seen the recent tiny inverter welders that have appeared from China. Old Tony does a review of one that cost $50... He even gets it to TIG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--1lSmtuyUg

The INE wire is GREAT! Got five rolls in the cabinet! In fact, a buddy wanted to get into welding. I found him a cheapie Eastwood MIG 135 a friend's kid broke putting the second wire roll on. Broke the plastic tensioner arm somehow. He was happy to get $50 for it and I got it working with 18ga...

Len, The transformer in the new Lincolns is still massive. I think the one I bought weighs right around 100 lbs. 'Bout killed me getting it into a shopping cart and then getting it into the truck was not easy. It seems at least some of the old American items are still built well. My daughter is...

Bill, I have only struck a few seconds of arc with this beast to make sure it works. Again, I am totally making this up as I go along but, I was able to get pretty decent welds for a newbie. For sure, this thing will test my self-installed 20amp circuit. If you can get that old welder, that...

Got the latest welding project done using some of that super sweet "Eye-talian" wire. I welded up a cart to hold my tombstone welder. The upper box was $45 new. I think it's a second but it looks and works great. I moved a lot of tools for my MIG into it. The roll-around handle is made of a...

The place I bought down the hill from you was a horse property that came with a pretty nice horsey setup. I turned the stalls in to storage and park my tractor on the concrete pull-through inside the building, just outside of the stalls. We have a clay layer down here and caliche (natural...

Grandchildren... They can always make more. These crawlers need saving. You have our approval. Do what must be done in the name of the project. Skeets

An observation. They may be out there but: I have never seen a conservative push to take away my AR-15. Or ban ammo or my right to carry a firearm to defend myself and my family. I have never seen a conservative agree with anthropogenic (man as the cause) climate change. I have never seen a...

Saw a good analogy. Drunk driving kills over 100,000 people a year. So, we'll take the licenses away for the non-drinkers in an effort to lower gun deaths: That is gun control. (On a whole-nuther topic, a friend came up with a good one... With the advent of sex robots and self-driving cars...

Blatant harassment. Why is it the Left frequently misbehaves? Is it that they know they are free to disobey the law while conservatives follow the law and don't resort to their tactics? What if we did to them what they do to us? Following their members home. Putting yard signs in their yard...

Skeets says you are gonna put Kragar mags and wide tires back on that thing instead of the treads. Any truth to that rumor?

Unwrapped about a pound of electrical tape this morning. YIKES! Now you know what wore out the treads.

So that's a gas motor! I thought diesels were common back then but, I guess not. Any idea what the hp of that little mill is? Congratulations!
