I was set to go in '86 and reluctantly at the time changed it and went to a good welding school instead. As what I envisioned was becoming true and I didn't want anything to do with it.

A good guy like Ed should have his own shop to truly capitalize from his efforts.
For all you that didn't know, Steve was supposed to meet me at Parris Island in Jan '86... aaaaand he was a damn no-show! :facepalm:

You can dress his ass up, just can't take him nowhere!

View attachment 297714 Wife surprised me and got my old dog back we fostered for the owners. We had to give him back to. After a year they decided they didn’t want Him anymore and gave us his papers to make it permanent. He missed me obviously. This is ol Steel

Chatty bishes

:potstir:

I beg to differ.

I went to community college in 81 - 83 to be an ASE Certified wrench spinner. Today's automobiles blow my mind. Just looking under the hood I'm like......F-That.

You're a damn super hero Ed.
You scared of little transistors, chips, boards and some wiring?
Hardcore I feel one day we’re going to outsmart ourselves no battery power and your fu-ked :eek:
Mad Maxx?...

lol hows you slacker
i plan on buying one in a year or so
my uncle has one i can use but id rather have one of my own
they are a good investment when you have it set up and logs coming in
but dont do the mobile thing unless absolutely have to
I got the big stuff covered just need speed now to produce lumber and timber frames peices. A swing blade is still not off the table. Being mobile is the most likely scenario. Small bands or carriage type rolling saws seems like my best bet. Having a way to load up big stuff can be avoided with quarter ripped or milled larger logs. Small trees are firewood to me most times. Straight yellow or white pine is the only small softwood ones worth saving imo or cedar cultivars.

Different gross weight trailers require different size balls. For anything over 7000 lbs gross here, if I remember right, you need an 2 5/16" ball, lower weight uses either a 2 or 1 7/8. Easiest thing to switch by pulling a pin and changing hitch.
I have maybe a dozen hitch ends from 8" welded drops to adjustables. Plus two pintle inserts and one pull ring. The triple ball insert is very handy. Solid stock in the heavy lifters.

Your right he should.
He never got hooked to the right guy yet or gal who wants to build custom vehicles and has a fat roll to tool up a decent shop. Who knows maybe Ed smells the roses and steps in it by chance. That is only a car show or rod run away. National and regional events send out head hunters to find the magic makers. A tight and right drive line is a beautiful thing pulling 5-6K in chit behind a sweet ride heading out on 76 in PA setting the pace. Dropping mfers at 80mph from the pack is never an optional. It will happen because somebody does not have their chit together. Ed ain't that guy... he is clearly a pack leading builder given half the chance.
Just a swingin
lol NOT but it's never too late to start :)
