I know I got what I wanted when I saw the smile on Shemaine’s face holding that Stihl from “Uncle” Mike.

I'm betting so.....he dicked the E-clip lip up, chipped it off.

So I applied heat on the end of the shaft until it got blue (just the very end), ran a bead around it with my MIG, and filed it down, and filed a new e-clip slot in it.

It's holding up so far. Those 12mm 044 cranks aren't real common anymore, gotta do what ya gotta do....

Few picks of prize 38. Still a few things to do yet.

 

[Armbru84]

Will include a few new wedges and also a fairly new Spencer logging tape. It was my spare...they come in handy. It’s in one of the pics in the prior post

3lb is not a sledge, just a lump hammer, very useful for cutting and facing stone!

My friend and I did 22 Ton on my house one summer, in our spare time, when not working! Was a long summer! A 60' Ranch, front and both sides, 9' high.

I love doing stone masonry, I did a ton of real veneer on my house, inside and out. Built this fireplace in 2012.



I'm building a wood fired pizza oven out back right now, would've had it done last summer of it didn't rain every damned day. It'll be totally cased in natural stone.

There is rumors of one.....with some milling and racing thrown in....

 

[MustangMike]

Ditto to you Scotty, I'm impressed! Love the large pieces at the base of your fire place.

Our Stone came out of Yonkers Quarry, no longer in operation. My friend Harold knew how to do it, and taught me. Harold's work is excellent. While we were doing it, the guy who sold us the stone (part of the family that owned Yonkers Quarry) brought his brother and father over to see what we were doing, and they offered Harold a job on the spot.

I kinda got into doing it too, Harold got a real kick out of it. We did not have carbide tools, we sharpened out chisels and pitching tools on the grinder a bunch! All done over a long summer, evenings, weekends, and a few weeks of vacation time. It consumed us every day, and I missed bow season that year.
