Yes and no.I did use 3/4 box tubing on the ends for the pegs but it is rounded where it;s attached via the mig weld.
It was the first one I made.I used the BT ,3/8 cold roll,and 1 3/4 od tubing[roll cage tubing].All stuff I had laying around.
I am going to make some more ,using all round the next time.

Ozzy....didn't know if you were aware, but you can make an exact copy of a porty ......you just can't do it and then sell em.

Yup I understand I don't always comply either mostly putting on chaps. It was 99 yesterday actual and it looks like it may be a scorcher this year. I do try most times to wear hard hat and glasses but would be lying if I said always do.

LOL
Yeah ,I know. I'll stick to trees for my $$.I just like to fab things with metal.

Funny thing is ,I can't stand to construct things with wood.
Tried to build a bird house for the back yard. It looked like something from the Tom Green Show.
Could be I'm using the wrong kind of saw:hmm3grin2orange:

Ended up transplanting my two Photinias today. Took me two hours instead of one because I had to cut out a good sized root ball and move them. A little extra work but my dad wanted them so no big deal. They have been beautifully manicured and have a great ornamental shape to them. Got caught in the rain bringing them back. With the standing water still in the roads this morning, the extra rain has rivers running across our roads. Not going to be able to plant them until tomorrow but the rain should keep the roots in good shape and I have them wrapped in tarps.

Too wet to pick up my logs on the other job. They'd rather wait than have me tear up their yard and possibly get stuck. Logs are in the back forty. Stuck at the house watching it rain again. I've got a large one to bid tomorrow and the photinias to plant.

I had a horrendous week from start to finish , no money but at least all the friends work is done for now .. I think next week will be the same

Started a little pine party today

Wanted to get a crane in ( and bid it for such silliness, figuring on this being a one day project ) but the first pic is 85 feet from the trees and the crane couldn't fit past that point, which put the turret at 100 feet away. No room to put on the jib, no room for a bigger crane. "#### it, we'll do it live!"

 

[Blakesmaster]

I did all the climbing with 3 guys on the ground. Pulled 34 yards of chips thus far and we got a lot of wood to move. Started taking pics after we'd already slammed a good sized locust. You can see the stump in front of the tree dubbed "Large Marge" which will be tomorrow's project.

 

[treevet]

Good job guys....one of the tallest trees in Ohio is a White Pine in Athens at over 160 feet tall..."Ohio's Big Trees"

 

[Blakesmaster]

Ok, no you can't see the stump, but I swear it was big. lol Large Marge's bottom half does look good next to that 361 though...

 

[tree md]

Nice work. Did you still have to pay the crane minimum?

No, we're pretty tight with the operator and had him come give it an eyeball beforehand so we would know what his thoughts were. Remember I'm still new to this crane ####. lol He brought out his tape first thing and as he started unraveling it toward those trees, I saw him wincing and I started crying. We'll make out ok in the end but we got a LOT of wood to move. I think we can get a Dingo in there but that'll be a slow process to say the least.

These bastards weren't that big but they were up there. I'd guess about 90, Large Marge probably hits 100. All I know is my legs feel like they were ten times that size.

I will usually call the owner while I'm on site giving the bid and talk the setup over with him. I'll pull tape if I need to and if there is any question they come out and meet me to look it over.

we get free quotes inside the beltway from the crane co
