Splitter project-can't seem to give it a rest!

[Dapper Dan]

I posted some pics of my on going (20 years) splitter project here awhile back.
Funny how one thing leads to another...Took the old girl to a welding shop to get new (used) springs under it. Welder had to fabricate some new spring hangers and left them bare metal. Pulled it into my paint booth just to get some paint on the hangers and look what happened.

AFTER:

Guess I'll have to get some new oak boards and re-plank it now that I've gone this far!

You can't use that splitter now it's to shinny not to mention you would chip and scratch the fresh paint It looks very good now since it got a fresh coat of paint on it.

The frame is nice, but the wheels/tires/fenders/moons/pinstripes is what sets it!

A friend of mine, that has a saw mill, brought me a load of fresh oak 1x6 full dimension boards today so....I guess the new planking is.....on!

They are so pretty I may even have to put a finish of some kind on em!

More to follow....when I get time!

Sure glad I haven't kept track of how much I have invested in this gizmo!!!!
