Folks, Pulled tractors and had a good time! Thanks to Jim for hauling my Allis tractors. We had 3 first place classes and came in last in a couple classes. Go figure. Back home in the shop: Regards, Chris

Folks, Was noodling out the design for the end tables and coffee table for the shop. (around the couch). The plan at this point is to use 18 x 24 for the end tables and 18 x 48 for the coffee table. Using 1/4 plate for the tops. sitting on the belt pulley assemblies from the WD series tractors. 2 for the coffee table and 1 each for the end tables. Might look at getting the AC logo cut out of the coffee table center, and then a stainless insert to fill in the void? paint the steel tops and the pulley bases PO#1. Ok its just a concept at the moment. Will see how far this goes. Regards, Chris

Folks, As I am easily distracted I went shopping today and picked out the ceiling fans, white, industrial type, three blade, will hang down 2 feet. May put in a rheostat for the switch? Also went to Home Depot and picked up a Rigid AC9946 folding work platform. Only one for now to uses as a prototype. If I like it we may need one for the other Dewalt. I looked at the small table saws and some have a cart built around them.
Thanks for the suggestions on the work carts.
Rainy and cold here!
Regards, Chris

The fans should be reversible so in the winter you can push warm air down, in summer, pull it up.

John, Folks, Humm, Never thought of that! I didnt ask that question about reversing the fan direction. Never thought of it. Thanks for that. I may not have that option??? Must get off the couch! Being lazy today. Rainy out side but lots I can do in the shop.
Still considering purchasing a piece of history that has been preserved. The old Ford truck that I showed you a glimpse of is intriguing, but not cheap. Kind of like buying a very nice painting for the wall. Visually appealing to some but maybe not to all. It would be a large project that is somewhat like a tractor project. Lots of time and dollars associated with it being a functional unit again. It checks several of the boxes for another project and would take me down a non Allis path for sure! Maybe time to reinvent myself anyway?? Comments always welcome. Regards, Chris

Stroken, Yes the plugging part. Need to get at that too! Thanks for the encouragement! Yesterday was just a shop and spend money day! I hate that! I may need to drag that steel out and whittle on it for the tables. Step 2 in the concept for the furniture that has a Allis theme too! Regards, Chris

Well... I hope reinventing yourself doesn't mean we won't hear from you at all anymore! Understandable that you'll be focused more on non Allis, but I imagine that you'll be using the shop and the F40 to help, so I believe updates are 100% justifiable :)

Stroken, Folks, No I probably wont go away that easy!:)
I did some prototyping on the end tables and coffee tables. Need some 3-1/2 inch I.D pipe to slip over the shaft of the Pulley assembly.
Regards, Chris

Folks been busy like everyone this time of year. But I did get one of those Rigid saw carts. I like it! Its the AC9946.
This is for sure going to speed up the cutting of the hemlock interior wood:

I really like my Ridgid stands. I have one on my compound miter and another that I adapted for my 13" Ridgid planer.
I haven't found a stand (any brand) that I like nearly as well.

Folks, The old brain went sideways off the track again today and we pulled the trigger on a Ford project! 1932 AAB ton and a half dump truck.
Yes somewhat of a time capsule or wayback machine! It has not been out side light of day in 70 years!
Should help fill up that empty corner in the shop I was worried about too!:) I will be over on the Ford Barn Forum a lot in the near future, but should be back to get my orange fix too!
Yea the Rigid tool cart should be just the ticket for the interior ship-lap material! Regards, Chris

WOW Chris! That is an amazing looking truck, especially in the part of the country you are in. Most trucks that old would be just a pile of rust. You have got to fill us in on how it was inside since the early 1950's and take lots of pictures of before and after. Of course, now you have to make the decision on whether to restore it or just get in drive-able condition. Would be really cool to make it look like it just was driven out of the barn after a few days sitting. Now I have even more reason to stop in in a couple weeks!

Words cannot describe what I see in them pictures. You can't possibly be able to sit down with that huge gold horseshoe, you know where. It shouldn't be in your shop, it NEEDS to be in my garage ! well for a week then 'she' would say 'get rid of it....' Sigh, every jealous bone in my body hurts... Please, pretty please, a dedicated 'thread' with LOTS of pictures sniff, sniff jealous jay

Allis Folks, I will start a thread on this old crusty unit. There will be less room in the shop if this comes home soon! (Hopefully in a week or two)! As you may have guessed I do have pictures. Not sure I will be able to keep the Ford Barn and The Allis Forum both upto date. The Ford Barn has the folks that are the experts, just like the Allis Fourm for our orange problem, or Just like Maple Trader Forum for my Maple fix. Hard to blend them all together. I spend way to much time on here now. If I was actually working on projects, much more would get done around here!
Back to the purpose of this thread. To document little things along the way to having a place to rest when the work is done. Yea I dont really like to go up on the 6/12 pitch roof. Had procrastinated as long as I could on this weather vane install.
Regards, Chris

Chris, That is one neat truck, fantastic condition and looks like the tires still hold air. And a side mount spare and look at those turn signals!!!! I can see how you couldn't pass it up. Will you restore to original, what color paint? Does the dump body raise with a manual crank? Looking forward to watching progress on this project too. Bet you can't wait to get started.

Must be a way to "cut and paste" what you send the Ford guys. So as to not ware your finger to the bone typing. I think most would be OK with just the updated pictures and stuff.

Thanks guys, That might work as the cut and paste information exchange?? Pictures maybe can be moved too? Anyway I did start a thread 4 times. Computer went down from lack of power this morning, then when I got home from mowing at the show grounds I kept falling asleep and some how deleting all the info.
Air drying wood in the shop today and will work with Jim on his Doodle Tug tomorrow. A suspension movement issue on one side and a few other minor things.
I did get the other end table cut out and per Dave K suggestion will round off the corners too. Still at the prototype stage so anything can happen during the build!
Regards, Chris
