So what did you do today?

[JoeDirt]

Missed a good time buddy! Should have had the crv done weeks ago!

Shouldn't have taken the freaking job to begin with! Tired of working on other people's garbage!

After work I went over to my friends house to pick up some lobsters from him. I got to see his baby daughter for the first time and he showed me his 1946 Chevrolet deluxe truck he's building into a custom off road rig. Went home after and cooked dinner for my family.

Got the truck loaded up with some tools. Tomorrow I'm going to a friends house and we're going to cut a 30" pipe into fire rings. It's 30' long so we can make enough for all our buddies. I'm hoping my plasma cutter is up to the challenge. It's just under 1/2" thick steel but has a coating of some kind of plastic stuff. I'll cut it from the inside out. It would cost a fortune to cut this thing with an oxyacetylene torch. The pipe was left from installation of a natural gas pipeline. It weighs 110 pounds per foot.

Wouldn't a chop saw slice it up? Sounds like something an old school Partner k series could handle

I have a Multiquip chop saw and put it in the truck but those metal cutting blades are consumable and I suspect one blade would only make one cut which would greatly increase the cost per fire ring. I think the plasma cutter will do it but won't know until about lunch time tomorrow how successful we'll be.

Small work, clearing for fire prevention due to our national legislation

Enjoying my Stihl 560cem

We were able to cut up about 1/2 of the pipe and that yielded 8 fire rings. I'll return for another session later but that tired me out. The plasma cutter worked "fair". We were hampered by the plasticized coating. I cut it from the inside out. Burned 1236 holes in my shirt but oh well.

That 560 looks to be a real beast

Yes Sir it is like a Tank. I never imagined how much torque it had without even touching throttle. I m very happy with it, it stand up to every task even cutting small firs and oaks while cleaning my property at my village with the Wood Disk.

i wanna port it though soon i ll muffler mod it to check the difference
Haven't seen woods ported brush cutters.

sorry for delay

Sharpened an Archer chain, took it off my XS5000 as I find it slow and underwhelming, replaced it with an Oregon LGX which I also sharpened.

Sharpened a Stihl RS 3/8" on my PS-9010 and swapped back to Stihl RS .325" as it feels like the better performer of the two.

Mowed the yard on and off between the rain showers.

Finished the day bucking my neighbors oak firewood logs, utilized my PS-550, spent one tank of fuel.

 

[fearofpavement]

Tied up some tomato plants, cleaned up a bit in front of my shop, repaired a tire on one of my vehicles, moved a cargo trailer so I could move some other stuff. (Tetris and Rubic's Cube), fixed a broken knob on the washing machine (Rube Goldberg woulda been proud). Then I worked on a big fairway mower, stripping off some reels so it can get relocated away from here. (part of my "stuff" reduction process). Finished the day by splitting and stacking some firewood. I've got a big pile so work on it a little here and there. Doing it with a maul and throwing the problem pieces aside for the hydraulic splitter. Now I'm sitting in my chair and getting ready to do some paperwork. Oh, last thing I did was load the truck up for a small tree job tomorrow after church.

Kind of a relaxing day today. Drank some beers. Did the machine work on a 268xp jug and marked out the ports. Now me and the old lady are grilling some steaks and about to relax

Visiting my parents this weekend, worked on an airplane for a few hours and started it for the first time in a while. Ran good, didn't leave the ground just got it warmed up and put it to bed. Maybe an oil change on it tomorrow.

 

[av8or3]

Ran two Old Timers this afternoon. It’s hot now, so we’re all inside.
The 056 was built by Dale @kfd518 and donated by him to @AlfA01 fund raiser and won by me. Runs great! Tuned it today.

Cool. Nice Rig!!! What are you carrying in the tanks?

 

[Wilhelm]

Moonshine donations for any upcoming GTG.

Should fit enough in that rig to even run alky saws with it.

I tried to hand carve a wooden spoon. I just need to buy the right carving knives to finish.
