Moving Day

admin

From the fabricating shop, to the cut shopIn preparation for the debut rollout, the Uranus 12/8 Chop Saw Table(patent pending) was moved to its final destination22 feet of finely engineered, lovingly built, steel hung in the balance until it settled gently earthward to it's new berth. Leveling the legs was a bit of a chore, but not too bad.  Got to play in the dirtIt's gonna be nice to cut stock while standing, and not on my tired old knees in the dirt.No more keeping a weather eye out for fires starting 30 feet away due to flying sparks.Natural airconditioning tooShim up a plate for the saw to sit on, and it's off to the races Attached Images"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Looks good Samm. Now you just need a couple poles a beam and a tarp and you can work on the rainy days.You planning to spray some sort of herbicide around that to keep weeds under control, or maybe put down a few tons of 3/4 clean, so you aren't standing in mud?Last edited by DSW; 03-15-2010 at 06:45 PM..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:Good eye.  While it looks nice now, Spring is going to bring on the grass and weeds.It's high enough to get a push mower underneath it, unless I let things get out of hand like usual.  Even if the grass gets to it's usual 3 foot height, the color will make it easy to spotI had thought of placing some pavers under it.  Be a good place to store stuff without losing it in the undergrowth."Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:Looks good Samm.I was wondering what sort of malice and mayhem this was leading up to.Wanna hear something strange? I was saving a bunch of steel shipping pallets that were built exactly like what you made. I never found a use for a single one of ‘em, and then finally trashed them.Good Luck
