Dave needs to show off his Manure spreader at the county fair it’s beautiful to nice for its intend it work

I never thought I would say I’ve seen a manure spreader I could eat my lunch off, but here we are.

It's more than reverse engineering. 21:14 Dave's rebuilding this spreader from a pile of rotten wood scraps and a barrel of rusty cast iron. Hats off to Dave for his ability to rebuild this jigsaw puzzle.

​@@norduferhandel4512 G'day, Yay Team ! My father was an Engine Reconditioner, had his own Crankshaft Grinder in 1948 & it was the only one gor 300 miles, he'd started at 14 working for his father who was a Wheelwright that bought a Coachbuilding business in 1919... Dad reckoned that a Blacksmith-Mechanic to working in Regional areas had to be be a lot smarter than the University trained Engineer...; because when the Engineer's mass-produced Work failed to cope with real-world operational use and broke down - it was the Backwoods Repairer who had to figure out how to get it apart, diagnose what went wrong with it from the broken remains, and then come up with a way to repair it. And the Repair not only had to be effected using the Materials and tools already to-hand, and the Fix had to rectify the Universuty-educated Defect which caused the failure - so that the Customer Remained happy after having paid to have the Citibred Wannabe's Mess cleaned up, and made to become actually Functional... (!). Chalk it up to the great City/Country Divide, I suppose ; both sides like to feel superior. Like the Citibreds who point at the high income jobs they all compete for, disparaging the Hillbilly Lifestyle...; whereas the average Hillbilly knows that the ONLY actual "Reasons" to Abandon one's own Home Country, and Run away to the Bright Lights, looking for work ; Involve having gone into Unrepayable Debt and lost one's Land, after having flogged it so hard that successive Crop-Failures forced the borrowings - and being unable to find any lawful source of income, where they were bred, born & raised to fit in..., or having done something if which one is ashamed and wants to run away from the social consequences thereof..., or one is fleeing violently overcontrolling manipulative it abusive families...(!). So the Citibreds talk about how very superior is their lifestyle, While The Hillbillies and Hicks and Hayseeds, the Rednecks and the Bogans all Know Better than that... Because they Didn't have to run away Moving seven times every generation, Fitting in..., Nowhere at all, not anywhere on Earth... And when their Grid falls down, and stays down, the CitiZenry Is then Compost On the Hoof. Apparently. The further away from the Cities one lives..., the longer one may hope to persist, afterwards ; in my view, at least. I love the fact that Dave & his brother in law have made their livings since the 1970s, ministering to Animal-drawn Vehicles... It's almost enough to make me try to put together a Team of Harness-trained Emus, to pull a Trotting-Cart into town & back for Groceries (lol !). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao ! Such is life

I sense you might be a fan of Next Level Carpentry...

My thought when you were “trying” to find the holes from the inside out!

I was thinking the very same thing. Watch and learn.

Get a cordless one - Makita do several great 18v ones with tool-less blade change - oh, and treat yourself to some decent blades

Bright colours inflame men's passions.

Very true!

I really like the way Dave ground the point on the bolt to make his own transfer punch. It seems much more period correct.

Nah. That's just the exception that proves the rule. :))

Mustie1 has a saying , "we do it right 'cause we do it twice" . Even a mechanical genius makes a blue occasionally.

Thank you.

Thanks. Same to you!
