It's a 1969 ('64?) 20 ton Lorain and I'm sure it violates every safety standard known to man. The cable release/descent is controlled by a locking foot pedal. The pedal has a few inches of movement to it but the difference between 6" a second and 3' a second all happens in about a quarter inch of pedal travel. When lowering a log onto the house with guys at each end to receive it, oh my... Only because God protects fools and little children did we avoid kiling anyone.

    As for knives, we've gone through dozens. We get them all used at the flea market, I think we bought one new one and no one used it at all. I had a spud custom made by a welder out of 3/4 bar stock with a knife at the end. Very heavy but it does a great job.
    Getting the women to do what? LOL

    You probably speak with a French accent anyway--which the ladies can't resist right?

    We high-lead logged with a Link Belt 98 lattice boom... The mainline was controlled with a foot brake. The operators right calf was huge from pushing that brake all day! LOL

    Some of your earlier ones look TIGed.
    Both, all the exhausts are tig, and the log splitter is mig, 80% of my welding is tig. I've made more money than I have ever with that mig.

    Well sorta, Started out with a flat piece and started the general shape with a hammer and sand bag, than as the forming got to be more near what I wanted, it went to the English wheel and planishing hammer. It was the first tank I ever built from scratch. What a bit*h....

    There's a local guy here that builds all that is custom... He made his own planishing hammer and English wheel... I tell ya, that tin work is an art in it's own right... I don't have any time with a planishing hammer or English wheel... Maybe someday though?

    Your work looks real tight bro!

    Yeah, all the tools were home made too. A buddy built a English wheel and planishing hammer from an old CP air riveter for teh old hot rivets. Clay Cook uses the same type of setup. I live in the land of classic cars. Auburn,Cords and Duesenburgs there isn't a shortage of panel beaters around here!!


    Infact in teh 7th picture down in post 71 where i"m holding up the piece fo the seat area you can see the planishing hammer in the back ground.
