Free Suspension lift

[Highlander1]

Just though you'd like to see my truck with it's new lift I was trying to get logs into the field by going through the ditch (as there is no bridge so that i could build a track for Dougie's trails bike training.

But I kept grounding out and getting stuck after a bit of adjusting I transformed the truck.

Cleared the ditch no problems

Some I turn green and make sure the sides of the goblet bowels are perfectly equal on the wall thickness so they don't crack.

Some of the pine I turn green but usually leave the wood for 2 to 3 years before turning if i can help it.

That wee trailer was dragged across the ditch and survived with the tree trunk on the back.

Yep I didn't get her in the water this year co's the trailer she was on collapsed so I am making a new one which is in the picture in yellow primer.

I got the Surf to tow the boat in and out the water initially.

Sorry mate I don't really My chucks are knock in tapered oned which when boring I knock them into the socket.

It's a small lathe which was pretty much a home made bodjit thing I made up from bits about 14years ago.

It takes all the modern stuff like the collets for holding the rims on goblets or small rims on bowels so you don't have screw holes on the base.

If you look on my website under crafts there's some pictures of my stuff on there.
