68 is better than 73. My shop is set at 68 when turned on.

4 of these keep us a dry 73 in our shop!
Does the smoke eater really work?

68°, where is my jacket, I get cold with the thermostat set at 73°! During the summer I spend a lot of time working outside & can adjust to the heat. But a shade tree, open shop & fan are appreciated.

yes actually we have good luck with them most times. there are like 15 of them in the shop.
how often is maintenance required or do they have a PM schedule?

every 6 months. we have a high oil content in out shop atmosphere.
The rain started me cleaning three years of dust off the vet. Washed him and the garage floor. Mother was complainin' about the dirt tracked in.

Evening gents..
I keep the house at 78 with ceiling fans going.
Today was a big day for me. I started three saws I'd not run in years. 044, 056 Mag 2, and 032 AV electronic. Was good to get back into it. I think I'll sell the 032; it's cherry, almost like new. All three of the saws ran great!
I needed some saw time, since I am the primary caregiver all week for our 4 month old boy, so I can't count on accomplishing anything in a given day.
Hope you guys are doing well.

Started the land plane. First a basic layout: The triangle in the lower right end of the 12" channel iron will be cut out & a piece of 3/8" x 3" wide plate will be bent to cap the ends. There will be an open area in the loop where a chain can be fastened to so it can be drug without it being connected to the 3 pt hitch. There will be 2 cutting edges which will be welded to a pair of 3/8" x 6" plates to allow the cutting depth to be adjustable.
The 2 skids were laid side by side to mark them in a mirror image.
Here the skids are ready for the center section. There is a 1/2" space behind the plates with the 5 holes to cradle the end plates for the center section. Towards the rear is a hole for the 7/8" pivot bolt.
I used a press I built around 18 years ago to bend the 3/8" x 3" wide plate. It has a 20 ton air over hydraulic jack.
There is a winch on the left side to adjust the height of the bed which is made from 10" triple weight channel iron.
I clamped the 3/8" x 6" plates to a larger pieces of steel to help control warp-age & to act like a heat sink. (3/4" thick 4 x 8" angle iron.) It is the same size as the two pieces of angle iron being welded to the plate. The 3 points of the angle iron were tack welded then I just ran one bead up each side. After both ends of both angle irons were welded I turned it over & welded the bottoms. There wasn't any notable warping.
Here the center section has been installed & pinned in the up position. I then placed pieces of steel plate under the skids/angle irons to rest the cutting edge on to mark the mounting holes for the cutting edges. This way in the up position the cutting edge is even with the bottom of the skids. The cutting edges I have on hand did not have the mounting holes centered which made them too high for the second cutter so I used a length of plate for the secondary cutting edge & can replace it down the road when needed.
I used a transfer punch to mark the center of the holes. They come in 1/16" increments to help with accuracy.
Now the width is set, I welded a piece of 1/4" x 4" square tubing across the front of the skids to mount the 3 pt hitch on and take the stress off the side plates of the center section. I will be welding a length of 3" channel iron across the back later. The center post is hinged & will have 2 chains going back to a center cross tubing. This will prevent stress on the hitch if you go through a dip. It is hard to see but the center upright tube is sandwiched by a pair of 3/8" x 3" wide plates to fasten the center link of the 3 pt hitch to & the chains on the back side.
I have a 1/2" thick length of 8" x 8" angle iron with a cutting edge bolted to it that will go across the back. It will be hinged at the top to where it will swing backwards & up but if you push the back against dirt the blade will rest on the 3" channel iron allowing you to push dirt with it.
- This is where I am at. I will be adding channels under the cross tubing for loader forks.
- I hope to have it finished by tomorrow evening.

Good morning gentlemen! Time for some good strong coffee! How is Dan doing haven't heard from him in a while?
Morning fellas.
Two saws should hit my porch today. A J-red 670 and a little Poulan 20. That and a road trip to Olathe, KS for a Mighty Mite Bantam.
Mo. Jim: Have I got a deal for you. Wife & daughter talked me into a new Iphone 5 and that renders my Iphone 4 surplus. How about you can borrow the #4 for a digital camera? It will hold upwards of 300 pictures I'm told. Also edits pictures. Download using the charger cord and USB port.

Yes r value. He no more post here?
Just starting my first of three cups. I'm thinking of starting to put one of the other 056s back together today, but first my assignment is to REMOVE FROM THE PREMISES the tools and materials from little projects like fixing up Emerson's bedroom. One of the saws was in a box all apart, yet it has a nicer case than one i bought running and paid too much for. So, I might try to learn to split cases and all that crap, and make a restored one. I bought seals for it years ago, and they should be around somewhere.
My wife and I would like to come to a GTG sometime. As long as there is a place somewhat away from the loud cutting, Emerson should be OK. We gotta start living again!
