    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    We prided ourselves in the Seabes for "finding" whatever we needed when needed (kind of a cultural Seabee thing). But I never knew you all scrounged in the Air Force. We always just kind of figured the Air Force always had everything they needed, and likely even more than they needed (based...

    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    Okay, was I wrong on that first shot? I can't tell now if you're busting chops or not!?

    roll call of EXISTING Vietnam gun trucks

    A new build? And as busy as you are with that wrecker!? Where does that lazy bone of yours come from; your Mom's side, or your Dad's?

    You never know until you try. It sure looks good, and the best solution you could have come up with. Nice work. :tank:[thumbzup]

    You have one very squared-away garage/ shop there; wondering if it's the Fleet thing going on; are you maybe former USN? And how do you muscle those units around; do you have a pallet mover or something?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    For the record, there is actually nothing "wrong" with that kind of board: - It's just a way to make-up a full board out of scrap pieces of lumber. And depending on the jointing method and the glue used, those boards can be deceivingly strong. But yeah, it doesn't look as nice as a board of...

    I got enough whiskers to remember when you could get Redwood readily, even over here in D.C. The heartwood, too (that stuff was rot-proof). That lumber would be native out your way, rustystud. But I'm guessing that all of that is long gone, and logged out now. But, maybe I'm wrong, who knows?

    What's the difference in weight of each; do you know off-hand?

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The mid-Atlantic here is nearly cleaned out of all of our Ash because of infestation by that little Emerald Ash Borer; cleaned us all out. But yeah, the Locust, the Red Oak, and White Oak are all good; all of them are typically used for post-and-rail fencing. One or the other of them shouldn't...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I never learned to weld aluminum, but I bet it's like most things: - If you just did it often enough to keep your "hand" at it It would probably look great. It's just hard to keep good at stuff you never practice too often, you know?
