Just the Tip


Some friends and I took a short trip down to Rush, KY to try out an off road park down there. To say the day was a disappointment would be an understatement. I was bored out of my mind! Almost every trail was nothing more than a two-track dirt road, with an occasional mud hole (I hate mud). The only excitement for the day was when I felt like I was going to roll my Jeep (I wasn’t, but it sure felt like it) and this very steep decent, that we dubbed “The Tip”. Just “The Tip” 😉

I left after the first day and went home. The others stuck around and ran the only other worthwhile trail – Rankins Ravine. In hindsight, I wish I had stuck around and ran that one – looks to have been very challenging and fun. But I won’t make that drive just to run one trail. One and done. I won’t be back. On to the next adventure!

Simple Milling Vice Restoration


I’ve had this “Kurt style” milling vise for a while and want to clean it up and put it to use. I try to explain the whys of how I do simple restorations/rehabs on things like these. This is not a “rebuild” – more of an inspection and clean up.

Removing and disassembling the K&T 2HL Motor


Dropped my rear passenger tire into a crevice. Thought for sure I was going to flop onto that side. Thank goodness for friends.

For the 1k subs giveaway, I download all of the comments on the original video, loaded those into a spreadsheet and numbered them from 1 to 40. I then used a random number generator to select each recipient. I replied to the comment to each one selected.

However, I have yet to hear back from the person selected for the Mag Base. If I don’t hear back from them by 1-June-2022, I will select someone else.

Another New Machine for the Shop!


I bought this machine by accident, sort of. I’ve been fascinated by shapers ever since I saw Adam Booth’s video series on his big shaper. I’ve never owned one, or even seen one operate, but when a good deal is too good to pass up, you don’t pass it up!
