Amazing work. The hedge trimmer is incredible! Always feels good to finish a project and put it to use. Enjoy your tractor time!

This was an "amazing" article to read and follow. Absolutely incredible workmanship Mark! You definitely think outside the box and have the ability to make it all come together as if store-bought. Great job. Keep it up and keep us informed please. I love to see fabulous ideas brought to life and you seem to do it easily. Your rebuild of that 50 year old loader was a fantastic start and then you delve into hydraulics and more! Your skills are just great. Following for more unique fabrications. Greg

Thanks guys;
I found that I can do these things if I just get in there and try. Sometimes there is some learning curve, like when I overheated one of those burrs and the braze holding it together melted.

Mostly you have to imagine the things that could go wrong, and then work out how to do the job in such a way that they don't.

When I was 10, I met a friend of my dad who had a home workshop, he could do almost anything.
Since that day, a comprehensive home workshop has been my goal.
Almost there...
I kept in touch with that guy, he grew too; a huge shed in NH is packed with his machine tools. He died suddenly a few months ago.
