Not So Pro 3

[Mastermind]

Looks good Bossman. No waddled holes on the diagonal for the re bar. Measuring techniques and angular drilling deserves a passing grade from @John Wargo.

Thank you Tim. I'd been thinking about how I could build something that matched the rails, and this is what I came up with.

Yes sir like it.
BTW, If I might take a guess I assume you knew how to spell tilting drill press vice LOL!!

Built a gate. Not a slacker.

To keep the elderly from wandering off??

To keep the elderly from wandering off??

Nope, cause obviously he can open it. Mebbe in a few minutes he'll forget how to, though?

He needs some Milk of Amnesia.
It's for people who can't remember chit.

Next step done on the GTG cutting board. After the glue dries it has a date with a wide belt sander for final cleanup

That's why he should stop by and teach the youts. I do have a roof framing class in a few weeks. I'm sure he could ace that class.

Roof framing is my first love.

Anyone use POR-15? Ever have this issue? Looks like surface contamination but this was clean, just-blasted steel. I can't imagine how the surface would've gotten contaminated. I'm gonna blast it back off tomorrow and try again.

I think epoxy would be better.

Evening All. Rain stopped long enough to get a walk in after supper.

 

[JoeDirt]

I think epoxy would be better.

I'm thinking you're right. There are some small pinholes I want to fill and this POR-15 Patch stuff is supposed to work for that, but after this mess I think I 2k Epoxy and fill the pinholes with 2K seam sealer. It's all hidden under the outer wheel arch.

I cut out the worst of them and welded in a patch but I don't want to cut out the whole inner arch. No one repops it and I don't want to fab all that.

Hey my heavy quip friend. Hope all is good with you and the D2.
Typical low power complaint. This was a low hour dirt machine. Got converted to a third member shear machine. Something is dragging the engine down in multi function. No electronic errors in engine or hydraulic system. So it's challenging for sure. Been tuning on the hydraulics all day on 6 pumps on the open center systems. Will hopefully return on Friday to continue. I can't keep machine down for two consecutive days. You need a Vaca in the states I'll put ya to work LOL!

Thanks Tim, yes I'm all good thanks, and I certainly hope you get it sorted! Completed the final job on the D2 over Christmas, replaced all the bellows seals on the track rollers:

Then used it for dragging some good size Eucalyptus logs into a pile ready for cutting into firewood.

Which I made some progress on last Friday:

Evening folks. Felt like I was running around in circles part of the day, well maybe I was while mowing the hay-field of a yard.

Still need to get some chains sharpened before to long.
