I agree! I would like to think the habitat work is paying dividends and attracting and keeping more mature bucks but then when Nov. rifle season starts its like they turn to ghosts ! :)

4 summer bucks at the wildlife pond.

I possibly may be interested in a set once you finalize and determine price. I assume 3d printed? Do you feel they will stand up to the vibrations and cold Wisconsin temps? I like the inset in your pictures, matches the factory inset. Looks great, good job!

If your L3902 has the turnbuckle style lift arm stabilizers get a 24mm open end wrench. A larger/longer adjustable wrench can be hard to get in and on the turnbuckle jam nut depending on what tires your running. I have R4's on my L2501 with no spacers and it gets really tight on space. I...

I have a Landpride third function kit installed which uses the open and close button on the loader joystick knob. As long as its working and the electric solenoids do not take a hike I , at least for me, am much more productive being able to lower/raise and curl while closing or opening the...

Something like this? All good thoughts and suggestions, thanks!

Great idea and I had considered that as an option and could be added at a later date. Much like the counter balanced road and pedestrian barrier gates.

Thanks for your questions! I would have help raising and lowing but want to make it as easy as possible for the friends/family that would help. As Northwoodslife mentioned a positive stop will be added. I use a manual wheelchair and envision myself doing the bolt removal and reinstall with...

Thank you for your input! Yes, I think that 3 through bolts and 3 foot of overlap is good insurance. Very little time taking two bolts out versus one to make the pivot maneuver . I agree on the kestrel's ! I love the coloring and patterns of their feathers.

Great idea and yes , setting it up so it can only swing the one way will offer some extra safety when raising. I might also consider increasing the "lap" joint to 3 foot. I can afford that and still make the minimum 12ft high requirement. The other item I did not draw in but should be done...

By the end of this summer I am required (program practices deadline) to place one bat house and one kestrel nesting box on my oak savanna project. I would like critiques and suggestions on my initial plan of attack. Both the bat house and nesting box needs to be a minimum of 12 feet from...

I agree! Coming up with work piece holding or clamping solutions was always the "fun" part of machining for me. And your spot on, many ways to skin a cat. From your pictures you now have a milling/drilling machine? When you do score that Bridgeport your going to be amazed at just how...

Would you have been able to hold the work piece in your four jaw chuck, indicate off the existing hole and bore from there?

Having a separate non-indexed recoil lug on the 700 and similar series Remington actions is IMHO a quirk that makes things a bit challenging when working on them. As far as mounting a scope on a completed factory assembled rifles we assume a lot when it comes to the recoil lug being on...

Fun to see the circle of life and especially fun for me to see the wildlife enjoying the oak savanna restoration work on my land.

I also am interested in which direction. I was warranty repair for Remington from 1990 to 2002 and do not think I had encountered improper scope base mounting holes or receiver contours, at least to that degree. Curious to know what that grind spot in the back face of the receiver that I...

I do have the 4.0 straight six and have found it reliable. Over all the cost of ownership has been low for me over the last 13 years. Typical, mostly minor, issues and of course routine maintenance and wear items.

I drive a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee which I purchased used 13 or 14 years ago. Just had the old heap in for a bunch of work, tie rod ends, Pitman arm, cracked intake manifold, oil pressure sending unit etc and etc. Today drove down to the land , tracked straight as an arrow down the road ...

I use a commercial marking dye for spot spraying out of a 4 gallon backpack sprayer. Very economical. The dye washes off with soap and water and the wash machine will remove it. About 60 cents for 4 gallons. I could probably cut this back to 1/2 to 2/3rds of a oz for the 4 gallons. I use...

I spent many a summer at my Grandfathers/fathers lake cottage in Forest County Wi. The lake is named Metonga and the picture window faced just about due east and saw many a beautiful sunrises . Thanks for bringing me back to those memories, yes sunsets and sunrises both are special sights to see.
