OK....after my 8 hour nap, heres some pics of what went on at the shop yesterday...
First up, the only reason I got so much done....rented a big tracked bobcat...
First job was to pull the air hammer out of the shop, and replace the oak ties underneath it.... the old ties gave me a height of 16"..... I replaced them with ones that added 4" to the height. Now I don't have to squat to use the hammer!
With the old ties...
Back in the shop with the new ties under it.....
"Orange Crush:, and the rolling mill in the shop....
And finally, the hydraulic power unit nestled under the overhang on the back of the hot shop...
Still lots to do.... Gotta get the hydraulics plumbed into the shop, get everything hooked up, and running....then...... We gona make some steel!!
