Hey Beamish thanks for those pics. I definitely put those in my logging folder. I could almost smell the sawdust from that mill. Gosh I always felt I was borned to late & pics like this makes me want to go back in time. Thanks again.

Thanks Ytter-man for the pics I guess we just got carried away with steam. Glad you got us back on the track. (little joke there with the word track in case somebody missed it) Good close up shots for us scratchbuilders on them donkey parts.

Hey Mountain Man glad you posted them, I seen some of them last night but got to sleepy to post. I was on the edge of my seat trying to help that Frick up the hill. Great idea Bill on the tractor take off for the mill.

Sounds like a great project. I have crossed that bridge many times going to Eastern Kentucky to visit family but have never seen it from below. Your links would'nt work but I'm excited about seeing them. I had a what turned out to be a bigger project than expected was my Log Dump platform over...

I really enjoyed this hope all you other loggers do as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS4cAsa7c2k

Welcome to the Forum. I just joined a few months ago & have been having a lot of fun. Your story sounds like a Norman Rockwell picture, very interesting & I'm sure you are proud to inherit your Grandpa's hobby. Remember the only dumb question is the one never asked. Don't be a stranger & keep us...

Thanks Bill for the comments.I found from experience not to wipe the glue when wet. I wait till the oozzies get rubbery or semi hard then cut them out as a piece of glue rather than spread it around when wet. No matter how much I wipe glue some will still manage to get into the grain & show up...

Log Dump Platform for MVL&M Thanks everybody for the replies. I have posted some pics of my Log Dump platform. I built this with scaled cut lumber from Poplar. I had somewhat of a plan but altered as I went. I hand cut 561 pieces that went into this little project. This will sit next to the...

Hey Dave. The white looks good. I really like the hoses, they add a lot to the detail. What kind of paint did you use & what method of spraying did you do. I know from experience the paint in cans other than for modeling like you get at the hardware stores comes out very think & some will eat...

Hello tjohn Check this web site out. http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/506-1690

Hey Bill Just got back from a long weekend out of town. The church looks coxy set back next to the mountain. My wife had a nice church scene set back next to a mountain & also an old school house. Every thing she builds is nice & clean. My son & I weather every thing. We nick named her areas...

Thanks Bill. Yes there will be an opening. I find it easier to plank over the whole wall then make cutouts through the planks & foam core wall material at the same time with a dremel. I will then frame & trim this opening. It also has a small entry with a roof as the logs go into the opening. I...

Looking real good Bill. Hey on that middle leg of that Surrey Parker I was just looking at the one your friend Doc G sent you because I thought that was the one you were modeling. I think she'll still hold up & it looks great. As I tell some people, you can count rivets if you want to but don't...

Looking good Bill especially on the metal details. The proto legs do look very inadequate but by the time this thing gets anchored down by lateral bracing cables to stumps, trees, stakes or whatever didn't move this thing is & had to be very dependable. Actually the only force on these legs was...

Fantastic job on those tongs! My Dad use to tell me "Cain't never did nothin" The first time I heard that I asked him who was Cain't. He said "never mind, he never did nothin". I always felt like if someone else can do it why can't I do it. Like you said show the stuff that works & hide the...

Thanks Gus. I did check that jig out for making foil roofing. He is doing the same thing that I am but probably is getting more good pieces from his jig. I really want to get my roller type jig done because I really hate having more scrap than usable pieces. I am thinking about tapping sections...

Thanks Bill & Tom for the reply.I will be setting all this project up as a completed section on 2" blue insulation foam board. I don't have my layout set up anymore due to planning on a larger one. I have an antique 10" Rockwell cast iron table saw I converted to a 5 1/2" using a thin kerf blade...

Looking real good Dave. I don't know what your plans are for weathering that piece of art but I would sure have a hard time putting the dirt on that! wall1

Made a lot of progress,keep up the good work.Dealt with the snow as well, made a lot of progress on my Maple Valley Logging & Millwork.Weather is fine now got to go to work & make some train money.:thumb:

Hey Raildulderdhd Nice job on the truck. The handrails look great. Did you change the nose piece to be proto? My 15 year old son & I do a lot of vehicle building in the 50's era. These add a lot to a layout especially when others want to know where you found that vehicle because they can't...
