    Clearing old burn piles with a mulcher

    2 years ago I had about 5 acres cleared in to 4 rather large piles. We attempted to burn one, and let's just say, with the winds coming and going, it was more than I want to procede with. WIth that being said, I got a few bids for contractors to come in and mulch the remaining dry burn piles...

    I was forunate enough to pick up an old Cummins C112 drill press this weekend for a song. The only thing wrong with it is cosmetic: all of the chrome plated or steel aprts have surface rust on them. I'm slowly taking these parts off and getting the rust off then putting a light coat of 30...

    My $100.00 Welding/Work Table

    For all of the time I have been on here, I've never posted a project. So, I thought I'd share what I got accomplished this past weekend. Nothing fancy, but it felt really good once I was finished. About 7 years ago, I aquired an old work table that had been left out in the weather several...
