Oh yeah, Howdy Y'all!!! Sorry for not being around but I got a few additional responsibilities dumped on me at worked, changed jobs (a bit) and have seeing a new computer system through development to fielding... Other than that I've been rather lazy...
Well it's spring, time to come out of hibernation!
 
What's wrong with it

On one of them I was replacing the bearing under the rack. The other I extended the push ram 0.65 inches because the ram did not come as close to the wedge. On stringy wood the Special Edition would not finish the split. Then I learned the hard way to clean the thread of the old Loctite or your threads will get ruined.

Finally made it back home. Left at 7am this morning and got to my nieces about 1:30pm. Got the tractor loaded and left at 3pm. It's about 9pm now. Ed did all the driving (his truck/trailer) about $130 fuel used. So tired I left it on the trailer at his place. He'll bring it over in the A.M. Pics to follow.
 
Carved another hand chair today!

the guys wife said she needed another one. Tarin has a couple hundred cookies under her belt and I can see her progress already. She's about twice as fast as the day she started practicing...... We may have to have a Jr's class at the next gtg!
Very nice work! What wood is the darker one? Are they the same wood?

They are both walnut . one is two days old and has been sanded. the taller one I had just finished carving when I snapped the pic so it looks different. These were done at my buddies log yard down by Seneca...

Wow! That was a pricey log, and yes those little tractors are so awesome! I am working on a 4x4 articulating case trencher gone mini skidder and splitter project. It is a little smaller than that wacker but sooo powerful.
