FINALLY found the time to start the addition for the new hammer. Hopefully I can knock it out quickly. Drilled out the 1” plate for the hammer base and sent it to a blacksmith buddy to weld up the mounting bolts to save time. Can’t wait.
Had pleasure to do small repair to a piece a guys grandfather made while he was in a world war 2 work camp. Absolutely beautiful and finely crafted
also made some lawn art for the wife’s garden
Also made a treehouse lamp for our great room.
No doubt Jim. A small upgrade. Just spoke with Dave yesterday about it. He laughed.
The shop will eventually be a “u” shape. So this fits in the big picture. Both the hammer and extra space should open up more work possibilities.
Excited to get underway. Just too wet to dig right now or footings would be done by next week.
Got the Oiler going. Added compression bypass valve. Took apart both valves and freed up Linkage. Meggared the motor. Just need to build an inner cone which is missing and she’s ready to test. After that, time to start the shop addition.
Thanks guys. Couldn’t be happier with condition. Story is that it was sent out for a rebuild and then moth balled and stored inside when the hammer finally came back.
Next on the agenda is a shop addition once things dry out.
Any ideas of where I can get a sight glass for this?
also, is there a reference for foundation plans? ive found some for a 4B, but I'm looking for one for a 2 piece 2B..... I would imagine they shouldnt be the same...
