    Brian I could only wish. You'd have to get on the ferry and come over for the shoot :D Glad you like it. Here's a few video's of a few restorations and builds that I did.

    Oh man you had to include the link didn't you! I got drewels all over my iPhone now:eek: I'm working on putting a CNC plasma table in the shop next. I put In a new knee mill this summer but went manual and not CNC. Most of my stuff is a "one off " so manual in my case was better. Some great...

    Thank you. There's one thing so certain. Every day is a learning day no matter what or how much anyone know. You might be better of living next to dusty because it's some frosty here this morning :D Anyway I'll squeeze in another repair I did on a roller of a farm implement. A few weeks age we...

    Hi Dusty. The only time I used the plasma was to cut the material I needed for this job from the sheet of 4X8 3/16 plate. The only other tool used other than the plasma was the welding machine and that is a Millermatic 350P and welded in pulse mode. Everything was done with the ironworker...

    Just a silly question about ballast boxes

    Well my buddy I can say that I did build one many years ago and the customer was happy with it. I used 1/8th plate and it had a removable top. You could fill the box with sand or whatever you wanted. When I bought my tractor a ballast box came with it and it's a very nice design. I never use it...

    Hello to you DJG. Welcome to OTT and I'm honored that you replied on one of my posts for your first post. :) The story you written in your post is one I've heard many times. I'm glad you weren't injured and some plastic can easily be replaced and we all know it could have been much worst...

    A new Ironworker

    Hell I wouldn't have bought it if It didn't have orange on it :D. There's plenty of marine work here where I am but that might be because I live on an island ;) I don't mind doing the motor work but I'm not taking the motor out of the boat. Nice work by the way. :cool:

    A new Ironworker

    Thanks guys. Been using the ironworker for a few weeks now and don't know how I did things with out it. I did make another change to the thing.

    A new Ironworker

    Just got the time to get back over here and have a look around. I see there's been a bit of bickering on one of the threads and it had to be shut down. That's disappointing to see over here and I hope it's just an isolated incident. :o Anyway I know some of you like to see tooling so I thought...
