Hi everyone,
I am glad Ray caught that error. I did that on purpose to see how many people would notice and say anything.
How many people believe that statement??
I realized I had more pictures. A couple more projects were in the shop.
Brett and Ray were making a shaft for one of the projects.
Brett is giving Ray some tips on machining the part.
Later on, Brett must have told Ray he didn't need him any more.
I don't know how much of the statement above this picture is true. But if Ray doesn't say different, that is the story I am sticking with.
The shaft is part of this project.
This is the front axle of the road grader that was worked on last month. I don't know where the shaft fits on this. Can someone tell us, please?
Take a look at this rim
The one on the other side was just about as good as this one. A very tough flap would be needed to protect the tube on these!
Alex, Alex and Patrick worked on cutting these rims off.
They cut the rims off without cutting any of the spoke. The 'new' rims slipped on pretty neatly.
The smile lets us know the job was going well.
Both rims are in place, a bit of welding to finish up.
Harlan is in the background near the forklift. He and Gary M welded a bunch of short (about 3 foot long) 4 X 4's together to make about 12 footers. These will be used in a future building project.
That is the end of the pictures I took at the December Work Weekend. There a few project to finish up next time. Keep watching for more information.
Later,
Jerry Christiansen
