I really like your stand-offs. I installled a three section valve assembly not long ago that I really could have used that idea. In all the valves I have installed I must admit I never thought to make or even see if a ready made stand-off was available. I just struggled and busted my knuckles.

Been a while yet Greg..........I am pretty sore from the wife beating me!

Im rushing BF, hope she isn't hitting too hard. Had no choice but to come up with the standoffs, thought there would be room to swing the pipe swivels but there wasn't. The valve is sized for 3/8 fittings, which will handle the flow from the small pump but the 5/8 tubing was in stock and needed a place to be stored.

Greg, I am black and blue all over from the wife beating me about the firewood. Come on, the pressure washer is done. Back to work on the processor please.

Been at it doing small things that don't show like making up hoses and wiring the engine.The last couple of days got a few things done.

Built the chain guard for the saw.

And got the arms that separate the logs on the bunks done.

May be a short slowdown on the progress though, someone wants a desk built and paying jobs take priority.

I think you had better outbid the desk guy Black Forrest, or you are going to get a few more beatings from the Mrs  Yikes

It is starting to look like something from a medieval dungeon Greg.  You may get a request from Helga's house of pain to build another one...  I still don't fully understand how it is going to function.  I have a basic idea but (like many), I'm really looking forward to seeing it finished and a video of it in operation  Popcorn

OK Greg, how much to not make the desk?

RE: Fire Wood Processor - f350ca - 05-11-2016

As the saying goes, of you have to ask you can't afford it. lol
