Showing off my sawmill, tractor and other homebrewed logging shtuff,

[Mik]

 I built this LAST summer, but just finally got around to organizing a page for this project. I built the pieces intending to make it a focal point on my RR... then decided it was all TOO nice to risk breaking, so they reside semi-permanently in a case (40gallon aquarium) in our livingroom.

 

 

Frick Sawmill, Flour City 40-60, and logging page

 How many mangles would you like? Since I had no money to go gallivanting this weekend anyway, I started making up some simple web pages so all this stuff could be archived to be viewed at leisure before it got lost or accidentally deleted. -- besides, now I can burn a few discs and clear out my harddrive!

Please, I'm not posting these to "blow my own whistle", but to hopefully inspire others to try to build things themselves. Most of these were so simple even I could do them!

Building the #6 "Old Reliable" - an LGB bash:

Probably a few other pages soon, as well.

At the moment? A picnic car, a business car, a blower house for the mine, putting people into a '49 Merc, backdating a Case traction engine toy to look more like the 1910 version, Building a Russell portable and second, smaller sawmill, and an animated merry go round ...... Plus rebuilding the engine in a '45 Farmall H, and building a 1/3 scale working steamroller

 

The ones that have pages are just the (mostly) finished ones.

I also added Critters , and UNpaneled Trucks pages last evening

 

What can I say? It keeps me out of bars...... Besides, who stays 'focused'? I work a little on each as the mood and muse strikes
