Afternoon boys. Welded up a cart for the log winch. Been wanting to do this for a while. View attachment 482194Nothing special, needs paint but it will make my life easier.

@huskihl hope you’re having a good day!

ALL TERRAIN WHEELS on a LOW PROFILE cart. You Think of EVERYTHING.

Let me know how it works.

I'll give it another coat when it warms up this spring.

It’s just for storage…so I can move it around easily.

You are a good Blarney Buster.

Carts are a big benefit. would you post a few more pics of your winch? Curiosity ,,,

Tiniest chip of a pebble will stop little wheels dead too. Found that out the dummy way with a shop stool I welded up. Gotta cut the wheels off and go bigger.

Never seen a pine with bark like that. What make and model is it?

Looks like a C-17 Globemaster. We have them fly over relatively low out of McClellan about 10 miles to the north.

Norway Pine, aka Red Pine.

My wood carts use the same casters. Hasn’t been much of a problem.

This was after I rebuilt it a few years ago.

Tree Stand and sap questions. Mostly a City idiot, at this point in my existence.
I got a feeling the danged rosin will still ooze a bit. Grew up in the edges of where they were pretty opportunistic, 2nd growth plants.
My question is , what about a trash bag wrapped around the tree and covered with a burlap sack? Tie it with bailing twine so that it rots away over time rather than cutting into the tree.
Eventual cleanup of some trash of course as it degrades over time.

That said. Does stuff like this tend screw with animal activities and mess up the hunting spot? If so, for how long would ya expect?
Then is something like this ok with any wildlife/hunting regulations or just simply prevailing norms in the area?

You did it right the first time. I’m waiting on a bulk deal on larger casters

It's pretty strong wood. It actually specs out just under Douglas Fir.

Happy Birthday @huskihl - pretty cold temps this morning up your way.

It’s just an annoyance for the hunter. The pitch manages to drip on everything then you end up with it on your hands one thing leads to another…
The logs on my porch have been there for 30ish years and they still weep at the knots when it’s 80-90 degrees out. Two coats of log stain/sealer doesn’t stop it.
