74 slats, 296 angle cuts, and 148 holes for these Smith Spreader slats to function properly. That's a lot of angles and holes that have to be just right in order for this apron to rotate freely as it unloads the manure. Another step closer in getting this 115 year old Great Western Spreader functioning again. Thanks for coming along.

Your attention to details is what makes us appreciate the work that is put in to a fine finished product. The fact the descendant of this manure spreader gave you a heads up on color details is going to really make this project stand out. Thanks for taking us along.

@aserta 5 месяцев назад

Yellow and red makes sense. Along with the black accents, it's a popping color set that would've taken the "eye" of any buyer. At that, yellow is, the international color of "sale". So the moving element of these machines being yellow doubly makes sense in that context. Of course, it would've gone for a different color after use, but hey, once you've bought it, it's no longer the company's concern. :)) Nice work! I've never been good with repetitive tasks, so i'm amazed when others pull them off so effortlessly. Years of experience speak their weight.

@Emergency785 5 месяцев назад

In my oppinion your work is bloody mind bogling. Wish I had at least half your knowledge. Love your channel! Keep it up!

@Mopar46 5 месяцев назад

Nicely done, with the drilling jig. Can't be too far off finishing the spreader, now. Waiting to see the end result.

@michaellinahan7740 5 месяцев назад

I like your idea to cut the relief on the slats; I must admit my first thought was to make a router jig similar to a mitre box and have angles supports on both sides so one end of the slat could be processed in one go but your idea has probably got better dust collection. The problem solving approach you have is what makes things interesting and drives me in the shop. Thank you.

@karriefalon7779 5 месяцев назад

Dave because my dad was a hard core horse drawn machinery type guy. Him and I refurbished, or restored a few things. Now I want to say that it was International. However we restored a little cultivator. and i am certain he said it was a international. Any why what i am babbling on about was I was shocked when he painted some parts blue and some parts yellow. but i remember him telling me that, that was the corect colours of the culitvator we restored. Me chuckles I would have thought they were solid red but he told me no. they were red with blue and yellow parts. I am going back home this summer i will take a picture of his cultivator, it sits at my sister s place.

@terryrobinson1416 5 месяцев назад

Great video, work smarter, not harder! I bought a house built in the 60s. Needed to run a 10 gague stove wire through the floor joists in the basement. They were true 2 x 6 or 8s the brand new spade bit I bought burnt up within 2 joists. Man those old growth pine boards were hard! Nothing like the new stuff we buy nowadays.

@ron827 5 месяцев назад

I'm surprised you did not set a stop on your chop saw so all the slats woud be exactly the same length without having to measure each one. That would also simplify drilling the holes.

@shaneferrell7852 5 месяцев назад

I was wondering why you did not setup a stop block on the miter saw. If you had cut them all to the same length, it would have made the drilling quicker. Keep it up!

So you're actually intending to use this spreader for its intended purpose? Goodness! If I had done all of the beautiful work that you are doing, that fact would make me cry. I'm a dairy farmer here in WI and I use a spreader every day. They don't stay pretty-look'n for long LOL More power to ya, Dave. You're a true legend!

@steveward53 5 месяцев назад

Time efficient jig for the notches , but no jig/stop for cutting all the slats to length or little router table to round the edges ?

@adeeponionbrah 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for talking about woods types. Salvaged old growth fir seems superior to second or third growth. It is hard to find. Good choice in the maple. I’m learning!

@davidconaway2830 5 месяцев назад

I was a bit surprised you didn't us a stop block when cutting the slats to length, but, you had clearly thought that through based upon the hole drilling setup. There's more than one way to "skin a cat" and I learn something new every time I watch your videos.

@kimknowles3681 5 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the video as usual, but wondered why you didn't set up a jig to cut the slsts to length. I don't like pulling the tape for repitive cuts so even if I have just a few I set up a jig, but my cut off saw is set up just a little different.

@olddawgdreaming5715 5 месяцев назад

No engineered piece of equipment is a s simple as the engineers started out with , always a little tweak here or there and a smidgen shorter, longer , or thicker here and there at the same time but eventually it fit sort of . You're doing an excellent job of figuring this out and making it work right before turning the product out the door to a customer. You are getting nearer the end on the manure spreader. Sure looking forward to seeing it move and work like it is suppose too. Stay safe and keep up the great work and fun you are having on this project. Fred.

@MikeDudley-b4b 5 месяцев назад

Well, that's the Slat colour sorted, (even the spelling!). However, there may be some seasonal variation in the product to be spread.

YIkes, And to think they could be put on backwards too! I am not good at repetitive work after over 2 years of piecework at Timken Roller Bearing Co.

@user-neo71665 5 месяцев назад

Fir and cedar don't rot as fast. Both soft woods. I live in swamps but I'd pick cypurs over all the above. I't light a oesn't rot. Popular has one of the best grains but it is soft, rots fast when left outside, and expensive because of it having good grain. Up in yankee lasd I would have picked ash.

@Estwing22 5 месяцев назад

Maple hasn't much rot resistance. Doug fir does have rot resistance if tight grained. 2nd growth fast growing Doug fir is less. I don't know how maple stands up to water but I would think rot resistance would be indicative of water resistance. Maple = bad = rot. I don't understand the thought process behind this choice. But then ash isn't an outdoor wood either but it seems to be used on a lot of Dave's projects. I'm sure it'll last longer than the body of my 06 ram. My 06 red and rust ram.

@Ham68229 5 месяцев назад

If you had to do this again on a similar project, I suggest making your stop boards taller. This would allow you to drill 2 boards at once, saving you a lot of time. Great video as always, cheers :)

Sounds very colourful for a muckspreader, guess it was one way to distinguish from other manufacturers and may have looked good when new?

@CRUZER1800 5 месяцев назад

Looking forward to seeing this spreader in action. I remember as a boy in the 50's, my Dad had a spreader that was of a similar design and look but not as old as the one you are restoring. I think it was a John Deer... I remember it was green anyway and kind of old even then. I love seeing these old machines come back to life. Thanks, Dave... Russ

@ronfinch5532 5 месяцев назад

I definitely love that saw! And your work. Not many folks left that care about the job they do.

@huntz3215 5 месяцев назад

Free handing the round overs looked a little dodgy with the pieces moving about, surely you have a router table. Nice jig fix for the notches after.

@notsoserious0944 5 месяцев назад

I cannot believe you still have ten fingers. I would have lost concentration and lopped off at least two during all that repetition. Bravo!

@frankfarrjr8825 5 месяцев назад

My wife & I have enjoyed your videos for several years now. We try not to miss any of them and are appreciative of your craftsmanship. Where do you find your wood in Billings? We traveled to Missoula (Superior Hardwoods) several weeks back and bought some kiln dried cedar (2 x 6 x 10's). I'd be interested to visit your wood supplier in the future, as we live in Billings. Thank you.

@walnutclose5210 5 месяцев назад

I hesitate to question any decision you make, since your masterl of so many crafts speaks volumes about your knowledge and skill. But Soft Maple for manure spreader slats? Soft Maple more durable than Doug Fir? Seems unlikely. Soft Maple is most likely Bigleaf Maple in your area, or if not that, it's Silver Maple from an Eastern forest. Neither is at all rot resistant - nowhere near as durable in a wet environment as Douglas Fir.

Perhaps I wasn't paying attention well enough, but I didn't notice you mention the black glove, which seemed to help you move the wood with only your thumb-tip. I've seen people use finger "cots" for the same thing.
