Well, been keeping busy on my off time and rain days.
You may remember the BBQ tool trolly I made ?
Well, I also had plans for the top part. I had salvaged an old camper for the parts. I took the table leg (pipe) and the round bracket that fits top and bottom of the pipe, from the table. I then bolted the bracket to the bottom of the BBQ , pounded the pipe into the ground , for a fire pit. Used within a couple hours of being done.
Salvaged the 2" ball and hitch from my old boat trailer. Got tired of the pin hook up on the lawn tractor. So , using the welder the neighbor loaned me....
Picked up 12' of 1 1/4" square pipe for a pipe rack on the back of the truck. I needed this, as the tool box is "oversize" and to haul free pipe home.....
Neighbor had a small tiller. Gave it to me, because she couldn't get it going and her hubby didn't seem to want to work on it. All I had to do was adjust the throttle cable. Offered it back, and they didn't want it. However, it would "dance" all over the place. I bolted 15lbs to it and now works great !
In the back ground the three gas cans on the left were free as well ! You can see some hose on the shelf ? It's the free tiger torch !
Free big tiller. Had to sort of re-build it. Only thing costing me was a new belt and a brass bushing.
Next is the free table saw I picked up about a week ago. Steel legs and main frame. Works...I have a couple small things to fix. Just to get a couple locks freed up.
Note the decorative branch. It's a play branch for one of the Quail pens.
Free Suzuki 8 horse engine and gas tank. I'll be working on the leg, maybe new seals. Already have a buyer !
Last winter I was working in the bush west of Ft. McMurray , AB. Saw some pistons , out of a gas compressor engine. Free. No idea what I'll be doing with them. Cool though, eh ?
That is a 930gram (2lbs) coffee can sitting on the middle one.
Was driving into a lease site looking for free pipe. Saw a black box thing on the way in. Good thing I checked it out on the way out ! It's a DeWALT XRP kit. Hammer drill, recip saw, skill saw and light !
No way to find out who owned it. (tried)
Free camper. Going to salvage all windows and all propane stuff. Going to build a "shack" and put up on (free) pipe for a sort of tree stand, for Coyote control. It will have the heater and stove, so it will be used all year long ! I have other big (free) windows I'll use.
Got me a free stainless sink. There was no taps though. However, I had some other free plumbing stuff. I still have to get some 2x4s and plywood to finish this vegy washing station for by the garden.
Free incubator ! I know, she has been scalped. The guy I got her from had her in a wee tiny pen with two males during breeding season. His loss : she has hatched out two years in a row ! (this will be her 3rd time now) She is on about 20 eggs.
