All my projects get painted when done.Ive built a carry all for my tractor, and a cultivator.My utility trailer was welded up over 40 years ago and is still used to haul sawed fire wood.Ive made a tire changer, welding table and a sharpener for my band saw blades.I have a 30 inch sheet metal brake that I built from plans.When my children had a pony years ago I made a pony cart.I built a log hauler to bring logs out for my sawmill.Most of the steel was new. I had the wheels and tires on hand.Total cost was 200.00.Ready made units cost 1500.00.The hauler lets me raise the logs up out of the dirt.Steel ramps were made that let me load big logs onto the saw mill.The ramps have one way dogs that keep the logs from rolling back.I have used scrap steel but find the projects never look good and never get built if you wait for the right scrap.Design take a while but my stuff comes out looking good and works right.Never used high freq unit.Seems to me it mimics DC so why not use DC in the first place.I built a DC converter for my AC welders.The steel frame for the cabinet was built with new steel.Total cost was 100.00.I welded up the reactor frame and used a length of a broken axle from a TO20 for the core.Fibreglas covered wire was used to wind the reactor.The converter has two cooling fans aimed at the diodes.I have always felt that if you go thru the work of making an item you should do it right.I build picnic tables.I build a nice one.I seem many that the builders should be ashamed of.A woman bought 2 of my tables last year after seeing one of mine at my daughters place.She asked me if I would make a childrens table.All the kids tables are junk,tippy and flimsy,built by people who take zero pride in their work.I scaled my table down to 3/4 size and it came out nice.I built another for my grand daughters birthday.Adults at the party were sitting at it.I thought it was too small for adults.Again it takes pride in your work to make good products.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
