Reached 3000 subscribers on 4 May 2023. Never thought I'd see that many. Thanks to all of you. I hope to see my other channel reach that someday. @OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING.
Old retired folks have time on their hands to spend on projects and repairs that working people hire done. I make things, fix things, and sometimes screw things up. But mostly I have fun. I try to keep the crap in my videos to a minimum. I probably have more time to spend editing them than you have to spend watching them. Life is short, so I like to keep my videos short. It saves both of us time for important things.
What a breath of fresh air, thank you for sharing it. I also appreciate the lack of 'modern language' that is so common these days and so difficult to understand. You prove that us oldies aren't a waste of space, and we can still get the job done.
Good video. I have a 37 year old Bachtold mower and a 1 year old Pro 26, 14.5hp DR. You’ll never convince me the Pro 26 is better than the old Bachtold, even with no brakes and no reverse.
I had both break on my 02 the other day. The front one was still holding the tank up, and I put a strap around it to get home. Waiting on the new ones.
Hard to explain the satisfaction derived from viewing to the last frame. Anyone wanting to "escape" for 30 minutes, this is the video. I was (briefly) thinking you were going to build that door while on the hinges; a piece at a time! I was slightly disappointed when you took the partial frame down to finish it (haha).
I love it! Always great to see your projects! Our Oregon trip this year is going to be soon, we will go to Astoria, then travel down the coast toward Tillamook. How is your dory holding up for you?
Great project to accomplish before the weather gets nasty. And this winter you will have a nice dry place to work on projects. Did I hear you mention a boat? New crabbing skiff? Door two coming up I hope!
Hey Eric, mighty fine door you assembled there. I was wondering if you might have considered a barn door configuration? Anyway really enjoy you getting things done around your place. Thanks much for sharing!
I considered several styles, but this is the only configuration I could come up with to conform to land slope and roof line yet allow full-width access, just in case I build a boat in there.
I watched your fishing and crabbing videos and am intrigued with your boat! 🙂 She's lovely. What's her history and make, do you know? Or did you perhaps even build her yourself? Length? 18(?) Love the flat bottom and dagger/center board set up. I've had several flat bottom wooden boats with centerboards and loved them all. 👍👍👍
Here is the link to my building the late Jeff Spira's "Tillamook" dory. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4zZbsgFyyI4.html I've not seen daggerboards in any boats other than sailboats. I didn't think I could be the only person who thought of it.
I sold that lathe two years ago, so it's somebody else's problem now. But, no, I hadn't considered the belt you describe. I didn't know such a thing existed.
Just watching you on your knees made mine hurt! I built a 20" platform to raise my mill up so i dont have to bend over much to remove my lumber. I have a small excavator to load logs so i dont need a ramp to roll logs up to get them on the mill. Its about the same height as the trailer frame so it gives me lots of room under for the clamps to hang down.
Mill height is a trade-off, all right. If I had a tractor to lift logs, putting the mill higher would be better. If I milled only small logs, loading onto a raised mill by hand would be doable. But by having the mill on the ground, my back gets plenty of exercise.
May I suggest you purchase a couple of Rigid brand saw horses with a 2x4 top piece. You make my back hurt watching you bend over to pick everything up😂
I regard bending over and picking things up as a free version of what others pay gyms for. When I was 15, I was a scrawny pin boy in a bowling alley. After one busy league night, I calculated I'd picked up 19 tons of pins and balls from floor level to waist height. I couldn't believe it. Showed my calculations to the boss. He looked them over and said I may have figured it too light. A few years later, a doctor remarked on the musculature of my back. I told him of my early job. Ah, he said.
Ha! I'm an ole cougar myself and I knew there was a better clamp. I called and talked to Woodland (and I do like them a lot) but they said no. I was about to order anyway and and suss it out but your video sealed the deal for sure. Had there been any issues? I am new at this and having fun building my shed as first project. Thanks for your knowledge ....for what use is it without sharing?! (retired teacher)
The only negative to this installation is, the size of the log or cant I can use it on is less than with the standard clamps. However, one viewer suggest that, if I'd mounted it UNDER the track, I'd have more travel. I use the cam clamp all the time and seldom need to also use the screw clamps.
I Like seeing an "old man" pound nails! LOL Gives me Hope! Been 90+ degrees here for a week and o relief in sight. Last rain was May 27 and that was 1/4 inch. Garden getting baked. Have to water evey 3-4 days now..
A friend in Virginia is watering every other day, and the heat dome is just arriving there. We haven't had to water anything yet. Happy in Hebo, Oregon, that is.
Crazy! I have the same tool belt. 35+ years old. Worn almost out!! Best belt ever. I have about three new ones that have been given to me as replacement gifts. (Have no idea where they’re at). I also just got a Woodland Mills 130 Max, with the power head option, delivered!!
WOW!! What a cooler full of nice crabs. You are good sportsmen always throwing the females back insures crabs for the future. The best of luck for future crabbing trips. Take care and be careful from the mountains of East Tennessee.
