    Cool Christmas present project...

    The wife insisted I build a table for my 6 year old son to use with his little wooden train set...had to get it done before Christmas. I made it out of oak veneer plywood and popular. The top is about 19.5" off the ground with 1.25" black pipe for the legs (just the right height for a youngster on his knees). I welded large diameter washers (I think they were 7/8" washers) to the bottom of the legs to keep them from cutting into the floor. Also put 2 handles on the bottom to make it easier to move. The legs just unscrew.

    Another use for steel!!!!!

    Church pew and such...

    My wife figured I needed more religion so she ordered me to get a church pew...well, not really. I bought it to refinish and use in our new house, out in the "mud room". That'll be a future project.

    The funny lookin' red machine is the rear most part of a rotary hay rake. The actual "arms" of the rake (the parts that swing in a big circle and catch the hay) are removable and stored upright on the front most part of the rake (in road position). The pinion or ring gear that drives the rotary action is stripped out (I think). Yet another project to tackle these cold winter days. I cringe when I think about the cost of a set of gears for it. I bought it used. Pay your money and takes your chances!!!!

    The tan colored box under the rake is just a dehumidfier.

    Careful folks. This is a dodgy deal Aaron is pulling. The Postmaster told me that's a drop box and is checked reularly by Aaron. Got to pay for that equipment some way.

    Hey Gumby I like your table. I've used quite a few of those floor flanges on all kinds of stuff. As far as Franz being an ordained monster,I mean minister, I have a theme park I want sell over here in Ga. It was just used 5 years by a religious cult sect.,it can go real cheap! David
