Very cool Rob, I have a couple Bachman G scale trains and I should set up a Christmas scene .
Thanks for sharing the video nice layout and the invitation.
Yep those Kelly perfects are nice, my favorite is the long felling axe the one I fell the tree with.

Pitchy

Thanks Cam, back in the day when we split by hand we used one of those heavy splitting mauls but most my adult life I`ve had a gas powered splitter.
Yep axes are cool but lots of work along with using a misery saw. to old and out of shape now days.
Had fun with the drag saw though.

Always into the ways of old, here the wife and I are cutting down a popular tree the hard way and a vid of some of my axes. And a RR spike puller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeVgjukGr74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI6sDFZRSt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsxl-N4H9jY https://www.youtube.c...

Thanks Sarge, it`s kinda slow but as ya say beats carrying the chainsaw. Still have to bring the trees in from the woods which is work. We sawed quite a lot of wood with it here`s a picture. The loco`s have a alcohol tank under the cap and six wicks available. https://s25.postimg.org/mo8ko0ynz/IMG_3...

First off is a drag saw we built using a n1 HP motor, we sawed all our winter wood with it about ten cords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-E7tg3_3Lo Next is two 80 year old Bowman 234`s running double header, first time I`ve ever seen it done. The Bowmans don`t have throttles so ya have to regula...

Pitchy

Thanks Sarge, boy it`s been a long time since I`ve said that brings back memories.
Winter has set in now, had four inches of snow the other day but almost gone now but cool in the 30`s.

Pitchy

Nice buck and I love your cabin, just right.

Pitchy

Unfortunately I have to prefer the tang sights or an optical. I'm having a tough time seeing the front sights with a barrel mounted sight. One help is a globe sight, wish I had more than the one Dockendorf. I can't seem to find a Lyman low enough for good set up.... A measure of the shooting was th...

Pitchy

Thanks gents, I can shoot this rifle better with the peep for some reason maybe because it`s a little further from my eye as my vision is poor on close things. It`s a fun gun to shoot as the recoil is light plus they're just plain cool. I haven`t deer hunter since I got this rifle quit a few years a...

Hadn`t shot the 81 for a while so set up a target.

I drooled so much I think I shorted out my key board, those are some beautiful rifles Jack.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking rifles fellars, Bill and olskool I didn`t know you guys were over here good to see ya.

Pitchy

Hi fellars, I see you guys are carrying on about the great Rem. rifles.
Been staying pretty close too a steam board for a while but thought I`d stop by and say hello.
Hope you guys are doing good and getting some shooting in.

Pitchy

Glad to see you are doing OK. I was so disappointed to see that that the saw mill was not powered by a steam engine. Anyway, always inspired by your endeavers and that wife. Thanks, steam would be fun but a hassle, I used to have a few oil field engines I wish I would of tried on it. She`s a hard w...

Thanks Adam, appreciate it.

Thanks, a old car tire has a crown to it which keeps the belt on, works great.
The sawdust chain has paddles on it and just carries it too the pile, fast huh.

Pitchy

Thanks Joe, would love to see pictures of the mill.
Yep big savings in lumber alright, thanks for the welcome back.

Pitchy

Thanks gents, I`ve always been a little different than other people and probably explains why I don`t fit in the world very good, never have. I`ve always been a thinker and my now passed away grandmother said I was related to Newton. God has given me the ability to see something and go build it with...

It took me 30 seconds to read this thread and it took about the same time too type this reply.
You`ve made my case

Not getting on anyones case but if ya got time to read the thread you have time to reply, it makes for such a more family atmosphere.

Thanks, he`s 12 inches tall but thinks he`s 12 feet tall.

Hey Pitchy, many of us do appreciate the picture posting that's for sure!

Well Pitchy, I enjoyed your posts and I apologize for not indicating so and saying thank you. This is an area of USA I have never visited and not familiar with.

Now I have a rant, I posted three threads about State parks in this forum and only got one reply :roll: All kinds of views but no replies, I hate that and will not take the time to post pictures if no one can take the time to respond. And I`ve heard all the excuses that I don`t buy either, rude as f...

You were just south of me about an hour and half. I used to haul oil just south of the Adobe Walls Monument when there was a bunch of drilling going on down there. Beautiful country down thru there.

While we were in the Pan Handle area of TX we stayed a couple days at the second largest caynon in the US. Very cool park, well worth the visit and historic as a Indian battle took place there. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/InTheWind/trip%20to%20tx--11-03-13/IMG_1110_zps794b696c.jpg http://...

We took a trip to TX a few weeks in the Pan Handle area, I`ve always wanted to go see where Billy Dixon made that famous 1,500 yard shot. Not much there and a 16 mile drive on mostly dirt road but cool all the same, here`s some pictures. Link to the story http://www.texasescapes.com/TexasPanhandleTo...

Thanks fellars, we have been traveling a lot this year, bought a van three months ago and put 12,000 miles on it already. MN. to Washington State. MN to Iowa. MN. to TX pan handle to see Adobe walls. MN. to Arkansas. Lots to be thankful for being able to do that and met some really fine people. Sad ...

Good to see you back. Any new steam boats? Nice looking rifle and I see some live ammo in the wood pile. Does it KICK? ROB Thanks, no new boats as we have been traveling quite a bit lately . The carbine with the more mild butt plate doesn`t kick near as much as the rifle version with the crescent b...
