Haha you're good! Yup, we found out we're having a little girl, due in early January. :beer: We're actually right in the middle of harvest, so it'll be very busy for the next 3 or 4 weeks. I like the idea of getting up early and getting some stuff done, but I also love sleep... I guess I'll...

Thanks, yeah I'd like to find or build a snow plow/grader for it, though we usually don't get too much snow around here. I thought about going with a zero turn, but I got this for much cheaper than any zero turn I could find. Haha I'm gonna have to learn some more of those dad jokes from you, as...

In more personal news, this summer was busy with a week long vacation to Yellowstone in August with my wife. Tetons on our way up to Yellowstone Grand Prismatic Springs in Yellowstone And, of course, Old Faithful Finally, the biggest news of all... I will be getting a little helper...

So you got me...I really thought you were gonna have more bad luck, with a crushed and broken arm. :shocking: Glad to hear the transfer case came out easy and you didn't get hurt! Also, I must say, catching up on your posts after being away from garagejournal all summer has given me a much...

So it's been a long time since I last gave an update on my shop. It's amazing how busy life gets and how quickly time passes by. Anyways, in that time, there's been quite a number of changes and things going on with the place. First of all, since my house is on almost 1.5 acres, my old...

Haha here, you go, only 6 months late. First is a key holder I made out of mahogany. I chiseled out the Harley bar and shield and stained it in slightly different colors. During staining: I picked up these neat cast metal hooks on Amazon: And finally mounted on the wall with all of my keys...

Holy ****! I thought you said there was a mower in there...I see a few sickle guards, but where's the rest of the cutting bar? lol It looks like you've definitely got your work cut out for you.

Glad to hear you got the B running again! Things like that are frustrating. Now you need to find a JD No. 5 or 38 sickle mower for it.

The new place looks great! I'm jealous of your DC system. Once I figure out a permanent arrangement of my tools, I'll be wanting to engineer my own system.

Not a big update, but I just wanted to show what the shop currently looks like. Made some changes to the workbench tool wall. Added a few more tools and took down the old HAMB calendar to put up the Harley sign my brother got me for my birthday. And scored this '57 Chevy V from fleabay. I...

Wow, it's been way too long since I last posted. There hasn't been a whole lot of progress on the shop, but after getting back on here, I have renewed ambition to get stuff done. Thanks! Your shop is coming along great. The lean-to addition will be nice, and I'd love to find some cheap pallet...

Hey man, it's been a long time since I've been on here. Your place is looking great. If you have any questions on that B, let me know. I've been driving and working with those old John Deere's ever since I was old enough to hold a wrench. We still use our '47 B and 7' sickle mower to mow all of...

Between farm work and a bunch of random projects around the house, I haven't got much shop time. One of the projects was a path from the shop to the house. With all the rain we've been getting, I quickly grew tired of walking in the mud and wet grass. Back in '52 the old high school in my...

Haha it's funny that you mention that. My boss has a friend over there that is in to old Chinese BMW sidecar knock-offs and has a small shop. We entertained the business idea of buying used Harleys here in the US, partially dismantling them to get through gov't regs, and shipping them to China...

Yikes...hope everything works out for the best.
