Are the cylinders air, hydraulic, or electric? I'm looking to a good place to get smallish pneumatic and electric actuators. I'd like an electric one for the garden cart, and some of both for the radio flyers.

I have a bunch of air cylinders, I have used them with hydraulic oil and they work ok. I built a dump trailer for my lawn mower that had a 12 volt hydraulic pump,
I'll have to start a parts bin for a knuckle boom and do some cad work maybe a 1/4 scale for starters.
I have never seen the Armatron before

Don, I put a masonry blade in my circular saw and they actually cut faster than wood. I was impressed.
X, they make them in all sizes, I have an electric tongue ******** of a RV that I'm saving for a dump trailer project.
Critters and snakes can't tunnel in pea gravel it will keep them from getting in the A/C and ultimately the house. Ask me how I know this, Pat had a snake skin blow out of the vent in the bathroom one morning, ALL new duct work was installed the next week.
Tony, thanks it's another one off of the list. I'm going to lowes for another load of bricks to ring the trees and get that one done, that should end the big lawn stuff.
Shorty, that's fancy, I'll need to keep an eye on him.
Strouty, I didnt think about teliscopic, I guess I was in basic mode.

I have been very busy with the lodge for the past two weeks, we were shut down for over a year.
There has been a big rise in people joining area lodges and it is keeping us busy.
That has cut into my shop time so not much happening in there right now.

That is funny about your BIL. I have a new neighbor who is building his home next door
And like your golden retriever my neighbor wants everyone working on his house to visit me or my garage
even when I'm not out there.

Don,
about once a month I load up the stuff he leaves and go put it in his driveway, he is worse than a teenager. He changed his oil last week and the pan and jug of old oil is still laying there, I thought I was done raising kids.
X,
been working on some secret squirrel stuff. I'll be back to regular programming soon.

Way back in the day I made a custom exhaust for a guy's Cushman truckster that had a CB 750 motor in it. The thing was pretty fast.

Went to lowes, to get potting soil, bought a new grill, got some grill stuff nothing wrong with the old one just dont use half of the stuff on it, this one is just a charcoal grill, no smoker box, no propane, no side burner. Sold the old one before I got home.

Went with the bil to help get a trailer and load of wood he bought. The monkey tried to steal my phone, Eric has around 20 of them he breeds and sells them. Brought the trailer to my house and loaded a bunch of his stuff out of my shop and he went home.

I had a friend come to the house and grind a stump for me this morning. It was in the way of where I'm trying to landscape and pour a piece of concrete.

I was going to go get another load of top soil after he got done but he wanted to hang around and talk so no dirt until Tuesday. I had to do a car show in Soddy-Daisy at 2:00 and it's a hour drive.

If you can't find a lift, you can go this route with a pickup or suv.
Don't advise with car, too much weight and car suspension not built for it.
