Question about a grapple

[JASTN70D]

You 2 at it again? I really would like to hear some more about the nuptials planed?

Deerlope Not to worry about when the Grapple project will be done. I happen to know that Mike has just about everything he needs to get started. And if you know Mike nothing will stand in his way to get it done. I have heard rumors that if the wind is blowing just right you may be able to hear welding and grinding noises coming from his shop in the wee hours of the morning. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So I imagine in a week or so you should see the grapple in all its glory /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

You got that right John, I was at it until 11:30 last night. I'm currently shaping the end plates that will attach the bucket to the grapple.

Once finished my plan is to be able to completely remove the grapple from the bucket so that it does not interfere with snow removal duties.

Gotta run, I'm headed back out to the barn. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Chopping down the 2 X 3 X 1/4 square tube that will become the base.

Shaping up the end plates that will attach the grapple to the bucket.

First end plate finished and drilled. I'll just flip this one over trace the pattern out on the steel and cut the second plate out for the other side of the bucket.

Looks good. Keep plugging away at it.

You're a good and dedicated poster! Only shorty after saying this, you were back posting pics. I wish everyone, including myself, could be so consistent!
TBN is acting strange this morning. After each time I looked at your pics and went back to the post, it would put me back to your first thread! Very weird. John

OK NOW I KNOW Pineridge is not building anything!

JUST LOOK HOW CLEAN THAT CHOP SAW IS! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Mark actually it's not mine or it would be dirty. I have a good neighbor that lets me use it whenever a project comes up. I asked him if he had a new metal cutting blade that I might purchase from him and when I went to pick up the saw he handed me the saw and an unopened box of 5 new metal blades.

I gotta keep that guy in my good graces. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Just wish he would buy a plasma torch. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Have you considered putting your false teeth under your pillow? Possibly the tooth fairy will bring you one........ /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
