What did you do today

[twisted lines]

I got some cut using the saw (stand) I made,
before she caught me not working on what she told me to again
and not finishing the job, & I'm to dam tired today.
She just doesn't get priorities, that's why I never get anything done!

Got some stainless steel wool to plug gaps around pipe and electrical to prevent mice taking up residence.

The Machine came from the country but there were rats in the barn. Thats were 5 totes of leather, 4 heids and more came from, They didn't like this stuff and I hope I didn't transport any but I did bring a miniature Jack (Rat) Terrier as part of the package & proven ineffective.
She has many names and comes to none; Just before seasoning the second side after a bath.

I'm still enjoying working with steel. Made a couple of shelves for the kitchen as we needed a bit more room in the old house we got in Raton. Pots & pans are easier to get to now & a small spice rack over the stove makes things simple to for cooking.



Also, working on a new smoker for outdoor cooking. It's just a 55 gallon drum, cut in half & being used for the oven. I still need to make a fire box to hang on the side, but yesterday was a good day for work. Little by little it's moving along. Will post a finished picture once it's cooking & pumping out the BBQ. Looking forward to the first batch of ribs, a brisket & maybe some chicken. Big enough to cook a turkey or two!

I have been looking for a picture of a Miniature barrel stove I would like to see to / make a pattern or share?

Took a 4 hour cruise on the Blue Ridge Parkway around Mt Mitchell in North Carolina yesterday.
Started out as a beautiful, sunny day, but clouded up a bit by early afternoon. Still a bit early for the fall colors, but after dropping below freezing last night it should be better next week.

A little more work on the grill... Here's the lower grill for smoking, will take big stuff like turkeys & large roasts.


With the upper grill. it just sits on top of the lower, grill to give a bit more room if needed.

Delivered; ever seen one?

New one to me, but it looks like it should run well enough. Might have to have a separate burn barrel on the side somewhere, to make the coals so the meat doesn't get too much smoke. Looks like it will be a good smoker.

I am pretty sure this was used in a elk tent, sure looked like one to play with , I begged for it

Well... Last may I ordered a torsion axle from Dexter for the new teardrop build.

It showed up and didn't look right. They'd shipped one with a 78" hub face instead of the 74" I ordered. I was not happy. Neither was their rep. He prioritized the replacement and I had the new one within 10 days.

When it arrived, I measure it and gave it the thumbs.

And then I called the guy up. "How do I get the wrong axle back to you?" There was a long pause and then he said, "I'll call you and let you know."

And of course, he never did. So I glued this up today for a new utility trailer.

Nice one Tony, is it a 5x10 this time?

Nice one Tony, is it a 5x10 this time?

Just a utility trailer, 5 x 9'. We've got one but it's a junker.

Free axle? What's a guy to do?

That's a great looking smoker setup you have cooking.

Utility Trailer with a Dexter Torsion bar axle = one nice "ride" when heading for the dump!! sweet.......... (that could end-up getting a 'second' life when the thought of the next 'Teardrop build' enters into mind.........planning ahead I like it!!)
