Much thanks guys.

Pitchy

Thanks guys it`s so hard to do anything took a week to make it which normally would of took a day. I can`t get down on the floor and get up again which kinda makes it difficult, norma just hit a tree root and bent the mower blades and i can`t do chit so she had to take them off. Prayers up for all t...

Howdy gents, thanks for asking about me i`m not doing much so not much the contribute.
Seen this toy on the web so had to make one, it`s crude but does work the idea is the delay as it turns makes it look like the man is walking.
Here`s a video.

Thanks guys.

Pitchy

Thanks again pards and i also know there are many others here that are suffering from health issues and our prayers go out to you also. I did get out to the shop a month or so ago and made this leather stitching clam, made from 3/8th inch oak soaked in hot water for about a hour then bent over a emp...

Pitchy

Pitchy

Howdy fellers, dropped in and see you asked about me and i thank you for your concern.
Not doing very well and not doing much, hoping the Lord takes me soon.

Yepper and someday when they want ya to take the mark of the beast ya say the same thing.

Thanks guys, that little rug rat in the picture bucked me his hole life never waned to learn anything, if he would of took some interest he could take over using the mill. He`s getting better at helping out now at 44 years old. I also see a lot of old abandoned mills around the country witch is the ...

I wish that was the only problem

Thanks fellers.

Is your mill by chance a Frick or Farquhar ? Also what make is your power unit ? I fooled with traction engines and steel wheel tractors many year ago so it’s only natural machinery of this type still intrests me :wink: The mill is a Howell and the power unit is a International 6 cyl. gas. Thanks t...

Pitchy

Thanks pards it means a lot, Harley sign is next. Bought this mill as a pile of steel about 40 years ago and put it together, it`s been a good friend. Some pictures from those years. https://i.imgur.com/RnURi7V.jpg?1 The kid by the mill. https://i.imgur.com/ITHKktd.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/TIhv5CZ....

Congratulations buddy.

Pitchy

Nice for sure as i`m a match lock fan myself and have made a few crude models .

Pitchy

Thanks guys, i like the first one best too thinking about painting it more of a gray color.
I heard that a person should`t raise a owl from a chick because they will have the tendency to swoop down and land on people and scare them .

Pitchy

Thanks guys.

Pitchy

Cool all right.

Pitchy

Cool beans Bill,

Been a long time since i had a root beer float.

Pitchy

That`s quite the story Gunny, what a rush.

Heck Bill they`ll probably sit on it.

Pitchy

Made some owl creatures

Back when i was a kid if ya drove around the country here you would at least one horse out in the pastures, wonder if the old timers new something we didn`t.
I think they new if the car or truck wouldn`t run they could always get around with the ole hay burner.

Pitchy

Look great, nice job.

Pitchy

Thanks guys.

Pitchy

Very nice indeed.

Pitchy

That`s really neat.

Pitchy

Thanks all ya made it a good day,didn`t do much but rest.

Bill i hope every thing is alright for you.

Pitchy

Thanks Gents, feeling old.
Lot a water under the bridge and some over it.

Pitchy

Thanks pards, Norma and I are the same age until Saturday then she turns 70

Pitchy

Thanks, i didn`t see that one but sounds like a good idea.

Pitchy

Fellers the point of this model is that it lights into a open flame making it easy to light off the fire and by pulling the rope back into the tube puts it out ready for next light.

Pitchy

Ha ha yep no sense in sitting around thinking about it.

It`s made out of steel tubing, bottom is full circle and top is little less than half a circle with faro rod glued in.
IMO it beats blowing on a coal to light the fire.

Pitchy

Thanks for all the replies, just got a smaller version made and works good, i use my knife as a striker.

Pitchy

It does look big, if i make one i`m going to scale it down.

Pitchy

This looks like it would work pretty good, could make one easy.

Pitchy

Nice thought pard, wish we could go back to them days it was great having you and your wife here.

Pitchy

Thanks pard.

Pitchy

Well Brad there are some variables as Bill mentioned like the type of bone used some are harder than others, i`m on a learning curve myself so can`t give much info about it. I know those arrow heads i made from deer antler seem to sharpen up better, a search on the web on the subject would probably ...

Pitchy

Cool Griff, yep if i go outside it`s from the house to the shop where it stays cool.
