RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Rickabilly - 09-23-2012
Hello Dallen,
I've done this wheel rim grinder stand before, but mine was for a belt sander not a bench grinder, I had a little problem with it wobbling about a bit, eventually I filled the deep side of the rim with quick setting dry mix concrete to give it more mass which worked well, Just thought I'd let you know if you ever need the idea.
Regards
Rick

yea I know a 16 inch wheel off of an older 3/4 ot 1 ton would of been better but hey gotta use what I got. My six inch vise is on a stand with a 20 inch truck wheel for the base.
I can live with the bit of wobble due to the fact that it has to be mobile. If I do need to weight it down it will probably get a big hunk of iron laid on it so that I can take it off when the time comes that I need to move it.

I built a log holder / saw bench today
I was intending to post some pictures but the tube on the light above my mill went off
I fell off the stacked pop crates whilst changing the tube and landed on the Z axis operating handle

Hello John,
Best get yourself checked over, I fell once and didn't think much of it, since then I've had to spend a load of quality time in a wheelchair, just play it safe and get checked over If I'd had a few scans 17 years ago I would've been put in traction for a few weeks and been OK since.

Hi
Rick
Thanks for your concern
I was at the doctors today after work (to review my no smoking)
Going very, well by the way
I showed him my bruse
As long as you have not been pissing , or coughing up blood it will be ok
But the safe way is a trip to hospital and a scan
I think i will be fine
John

Good news. recovery will take longer than you last event. I was amazed at how long a "heal" took than when it did in my younger days.
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Rickabilly - 09-25-2012
I just don't want anyone else to have to go through what I do just because I was too tough to go to the Hospital,
Four crushed discs and a busted vertebrae,
and not a day off work for ten years, until one day my legs stopped working altogether, that was a shock,
Despite the fact that I had been warned to slow down, I just couldn't. Well, it slowed me down without my consent in the end
So, get well also congratulations and continued good luck with the not smoking thing.
Regards
Rick

Went to help a couple of friends move a truck box. Wayne had said there was a big Ash tree down from the storm behind this house. When he said big I didn't realize he meant rainforest big, Measured 32 inch at the stump, I've never seen an Ash that big and solid to the core. Cut it in 8 foot lengths, Johnny moved them over to the house one log at a time, couldn't get two in the bucket.

That's awesome congratulations!!
RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - EdK - 09-26-2012
That is a big ash. Ash has a nice grain similar to oak. I wanted an oak casket for my dad because he was a woodworker but they didn't have any so I settled for ash which looked almost the same as oak.

Beauty of an ash log!!
Sad that a storm took it down, but at least it will go for some project.
(Seen a tractor trailer last night come out of Algonquin Park area, pulling 4 bunks of the most beautifull yellow birch veneer logs.)
