That is what I want to invent on a ATV or Ranger to help you drag out a deer or hog from the woods for one person


Damn, I guess I should have put a patent on it. Naw if it helps someone else out by all means build yourself one.

All jokes aside I have loaded several deer and hogs with it up to about a 350# hog. If you want more pics just let me know and I think I have about $125-150 in it including the winch

Never stand a wood plan on the knife like you have in that picture. Always lay it on it's side. That is why they come in a box on their side. You dulling the knife.

Keep us updated. I think you live in my brother's neighborhood. Your house setup looks almost identical to his, right down to the boat on the side there lol.

Wife wanted a new planter, and I'm a hoarder when it comes to wood so I've got all of our old door frames from when we gutted still. End result was pretty cool, going to build a couple more since I've got a bunch more frames worth of wood taking up space.

building a dining table right now, and wanted to plane down some 2x8s to about 1 1/8". Nobody told me how many freaking wood chips are generated from each pass of that damn thing.

The wife walked in the garage and asked if i had became a lumberjack. I filled up 3 huge black trashbags.

Plus, i thought they would take off about 1/8" each time, but this thing bogs down at just 1/16". It was a pain in the arse.

I just finished a display for a couple euro mounts. The base is weathered pallet boards and the post is a cedar that I cut and stripped

I will assume you do not have a band saw as an initial pass on there taking off 5/8" or so would have saved you a lot of time.

Plan down 1000+' of 1x8 oak, taking off about 3/16" and see how much wood chips you have. I filled my backhoe bucket 4 times. I still need to plan down that much more and then some.

Wainscoting in my camp I'm building. Once planed, then I pass the boards on a table saw with a dado blade making nickel gap.

Before planed



After

I have spent the last 4 weekends or so building this chicken coop for my wife and am pretty proud of the way it is turning out so far. Should only have another day or two left to get it finished up.

The dimensions of the run are 8' x 12' and the coop itself is 4' x 8'. I borrowed a site level from work and shot the water line from August flood on my shop and put the chicken coop floor just above that This should be big enough to house 10 chickens I believe.



The floor of the coop is sloped for drainage towards where the clean out door will be. We also read online that laminate flooring made it easier to clean.


These removable "walls" on the nesting boxes should help with cleaning those as well.



Some of her chickens arrived yesterday, so now the project is over budget and behind schedule...pressure is on now.


All I really have left now is to finish getting all of the walls up on the coop and the door up on the run, the end is in sight.
