What did you do today?

Recommended Posts

Ed Kennell

Did a little taxidermy repurposing.        I buy these old mounts for cheap at auction for the form, eyes, and ear liners that I reuse to mount my deer.   These items cost well over $100 bucks today.     The antlers are sold to crafters that make knife handles, chandeliers, etc.

Takes me about an hour to disassemble one.

Finally got my dad’s C-175 out and returning it to original. It’s the one in my avatar but he had changed a bit since the picture and by the time I got it. It will be going back to Florida next month and my son will get it. Maybe he’ll get the bug and restore it one day.

It has to be a METRIC Cresent wrench tho... otherwise they will sprout SAE. Always important... fertilize with cast filings.

Water them too much and you’ll end up with a crop of pipe wrenches.

Black and white just like that picture above. Exact same thing.

 

Whatever would fit on the side of the frame somewhere. Say 2" tall x whatever the length works out to be. Five, six, seven long?

 

I'd put it right on the side of the frame where I'm going to see it every time I get on the tractor. Remind me of this bunch of..... 🙂
