This thread and topic in general reminds me of something my late FIL told me...."wood is for burning, metal is for making things".
Good work Sir.
Good work Sir.

How thick are the plates on the end of your beam? Looks like you may run into trouble with those. I bent the he!! out of mine. It is 1-1/4" A36 steel, bent it with a 4" cylinder running about 2600 psi. You may want to beef that up a little.
Nice work!
When I clicked on this thread I was crossing my fingers hoping you were going to start building and selling them! I'm halfway in the market for one, real recently. I've been making a go at it with the 6lb maul so far, but some of this green ash just bounces the maul off of it how many times. The folks priced some in town today, just for the heck of it. A neighbor of mine had mentioned once that their used to be kits available, so you could supply your own components. I'm thinking that isn't the case anymore. But all I can say is either way i'm looking forward to see yours up and running.
Looking REAL nice! One question though, the placement of your engine (nice briggs btw, and not some chinese JUNK) will it be protected if a log rolls off or something...? I'm digging this thread, how much do you have in it right now, $ wise and with your time, my dad and I are still getting all of our parts together, slowly... Just picked up our valve with 3/4 work ports last week... :/
