Looking Up

Looking up means you will trip once in a while in the woods, but it is a necessary habit for all woods workers. Never sit down, or even pause under snags or trees with dead limbs.  Soon it will all be on the ground. 

                                                          That one would have smarted!

 

Too True

Brass Man Bart: Barnyard Blues

 You are going to love this one!

Tuesday Torque: Where Did The Modern V-8 Come From?

 I think it is fascinating that Ford isolated his team and made them work with outdated equipment. They worked it out, though! Interesting thing about patterns and casting is that antique engine parts are quite difficult to duplicate today. Foundry practice has changed over a century, and special techniques have been lost to the modern pattern maker.

Makes Me Feel Sorta Small!
