24' x 30' for another Fireman



Buit that welding rig 6 years ago, too. Works very well!











Customer's 18' trailer. Stick welded the whole thing! Didn't want to drag around the MIG.



My 25' trailer getting the new wood floor. Dang steel is expensive!



How to push "just enough" working alone.



Done! Took all day.

Had to get my box blind off that lease, and it was way back where a truck couldn't go. Well guess what I have up my sleeve!



Why yes! As a matter of fact I can turn a skid steer into a crane.





I'm always busy when I'm not at the fire station. More to come!

Thank you sir. I'm pretty proud of it myself. The owner is even more proud. That was many, many hours of work! And lots of sweat. I'm ready for summer to be over with.

The bumper looks awesome! I still don't trust myself to try and take on something like that

Wonder if I could sub contract to high school geometry and triginometry teachers to show the kids where you actually CAN use that stuff?

I don't need the sub, the teachers need a place to show the kids that the math has real world value.

Curious as to how much weight you can hang on the front of the boom pole before it raises/tilts the loader.

Depends on how far in front of the loader (horizontal) it is, and how high (vertical) it is. Best course of action is to curl all the way, then start to raise with the mast. I've lifted 400 pounds +/-, 14' off the ground. without too much fuss. As you raise, back tires will start to lift. I have seen daylight under back tires while setting overhead entryways. DON'T BACK-UP!

Won't get above the 400 pound range, since I won't need to. For heavy beams like what I'll make a shop for, I'll get a Skytrack involved.

Thank you ma'am.

You can weld, you just need some guidance.

Fireman, that is great work you do. Very creative too. Especially the "Ginpole" for the skid steer. I've got a buddy who's a Fireman, the man can do darn near anything. I guess that's a prerequisite to becoming a Fireman.
