    A few months back I picked up an old Lickity Split Log Splitter. The chasis is made up of a of angle iron and a wood deck. The angle is cracked where the axle goes through on both sides, and the wood deck is a little less than atractive. I have some heavier gauge angle and plan on making a new frame. Instead of using some 2X10 and painting it yellow for a new deck I decided to use some of the White Birch I milled up. Since I have plenty of angle I plan on extending the deck 10 or 12 inches to mount a battery for the new engine. The old engine was an eight hp Kohler pull start. The new engine is a 12 hp Kohler electric start off an old Cub Cadet. Since the Cub has a full electrical system I'm going to scavange the wiring and head lights and make a fold down light bar mounted to the back, for those early fall evenings. Here's a couple pics of the Birch and machine.

    The White Birch right after I milled it.


    I think several coats of Spar Urathane will look better than the old yellow deck. To cut the board I clamped a straight edge to the plank and ran my circular saw down the edges. Then I ran the board through the planer till I had all of the chatter marks cleaned up.


    Last is a pic of the old Lickity. Once every thing is all media blasted, painted, and put back together I think that Birch deck will be right slick, Joe.

    That's some of the nicest chain saw work I've seen. Beautiful joinery.

    Hickory Drum Sticks

    Had a member Les-Or-More send me some Bitternut Hickory this past December. We don't have hickory here in CA, so he sent me a box.

    Here are some pictures of the sticks I turned today. Les, thanks again!

    jerry-

    Picture of stick tip roughed out.


    Stick in my old Montgomery Ward lathe, just put all new bearings in it and it works great! The motor is DC variable speed motor from a tread mill.



    Sticks next to a piece of the bitternut wood. These pieces were just the right size to make a pair of sticks.



    The sticks weight are right at 4 oz.




    Here are the finished sticks sitting at my Leedy drum kit. They are patterned after a 5AL (Long) stick that I like when I play. I'll show them to the guys/gal in my band this week at practice.

    Someday I'm gonna make a big one. This was just a bit of an experiment, the blades were elm scrap cuttoffs from some table legs. Put it up on the old TV arial bracket.
    Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

    I would like to see a seperate thread on the construction of this beautiful building! Love it!

    Slab Art

    I milled some thick slabs from a short pine log that was given to me and tried my hand at some Northwest Native style art. These are about 45" long x 21" wide.

    Those are really cool looking and the paint really makes the carving stand out. Thanks for sharing.
