I've made my living as an arborist for around 37 years. In that time, touch wood [my head full of sawdust], I've never cut myself with a running saw. One time I had a saw slip off the back of the ATV and knicked the back of my calf. Ugly chomp...five stitches. Chainsaws have been described as...

I like scavenging and repurposing! You wrote: "That thin-*** metal is super hard weld, especially since I suck at welding....Good thing I'm pretty good at grinding." You have good balance in your life after all! Have fun :) Tom

I've done some fabricating in my shop and worked in machine assembly in college. The time that it takes to build the projects that you have is amazing. Nothing but high quality from what I've seen. Where do you find the time? I assume that your thread updates are done in relative real-time...

My Garmin Nuvi went belly-up. Time to get another GPS. Does anyone have one sitting around? the one feature that I do use a lot is the multiple stop routing. This isn't, or wasn't when I bought last time, a feature on all GPS units. Send me an email...get some space in your gear closet and...

Could you put up all, or maybe blocks of 4-5 items at a time? There are several sellers doing that now. As things get sold they get deleted from the first post in the thread. It might be harder for you to run the sale individually but I think that you'd be rid of the gear quicker.

This is exactly what my ToyBox will evolve into. http://images.craigslist.org/5Nb5M65J93Ke3F33Hbc5cdcf03855c78416e0.jpg I dropped of the TB at the mechanic to get new head gaskets, etc. A week from now I should be back onto the build. Tom

Check your PMs. Get hold of me.

This build is beyond cool...this is Steve McQueen Cool! "Then i finished organizing the wiring mess and mounted all the vacuum valves and stuff" Since you started the build it's looked to me as if you have a continuous parade of '...and stuff' to connect!

Be careful about how you mount your knife on your PFD. Some Coasties or DNR water rangers will give you a ticket if you sew ANYTHING to a PFD. Modiying PFDs isn't allowed. Spray skirt??? Neoprene booties work Wide brim hat with some sort of flotation and maybe a lanyard to keep it at hand if...

http://www.tnttt.com/ Take some time to look around this site. There are some clever designs that you could use. Start looking in the 'Hall of Fame'. Most of the folks have extensive build threads too. Tom

Not horizontal! I have a two burner Coleman stove and it has a solid tube stove/fuel bottle connector that holds the fuel bottle at about a thirty degree angle. Tom

60 kg=132# This seems like a light weight. Do you have a homepage for the project? What is the output at various windspeeds?

Yes, that's what i thought too, but the copper tubing is about 2mm too big, so it doesn't fit on the radiator hoses... With your fabricating skills it should be easy to put a taper on the copper tubing. Cut some slots in the tubing then compress the tubing so that the edges touch. Solder the...

Here are some more ideas" http://www.ammocanstove.com/ Tom

I sent you a PM...I'll buy it, lets work out the details. tom

Open a can of Home Style beans. Dump into sauce pan or glass dish. Add chopped onions and a enough Chalula sauce to make the Home Style sauce change color. Add garlic...lots. Add...whatever might be in the fridge. Heat on stove or microwave. Eat Farting starts when the campfire is going. Tom

Google found a lot of .5 gpm showerheads, you just have to ask her where they are :) Tom

Find a Toyota Chinook and graft the top onto your shell. There are Chinooks sold weekly for a few hundred dollars. The chassis are '79 at the newest so they're generally shot. The campers vary in condition though. I've looked at a couple of $400-$700 Chinooks with good pop tops. The floors and...

Using a flare gun like that is likely to be considered in the same light as a real gun...assault...unnecessary force...etc. Touchy ground... Tom

VERY clean setup...ooo...bad pun! What did you use for temp gauges? My first thought is to use engine temp sending units. Maybe you've found something even more clever. What is the highest temp that you've gotten the water up to? Would it be worth the bother to use an anti-scald mixing valve...
