snow roller for XC snow

I nearly got the pan done today and added the weight peg and the wing attachments points. Wings are soft that will round the outer edges of the trail, which is better for skiing. 1st is of the shop.

Great looking work you do there!
That looks like a real deluxe groomer to me.

Your shop is way too neat, mine always looks worked in.

Looks like you have good taste in welders, as I see a few blue Miller boxes in there.
I have a 211 MIG machine and I love it. It's capable of producing much better welds than I am able make.

Its the Hancock school shop I get to use which is overly crowed but still great to use. I personally own almost no steel working tools myself.

I got work done today and yes, the shop teacher opened up to allow kids (and us adults ) to come in and work on projects. This is what the shop looks like.

I've got the pan cleaned and painted this past week and on Monday, the instructor said he'd have the shop open again. I've got the plastic here to cover the pans front with. Its 3/16 black HDPE if anyone cares. The comb from Yellowstone track systems and rubber wing material is yet to show up. Any questions??

Looks like a well equipped shop. I wish we would have had a shop like that when I was in HS in the '60s.
Fortunately, I did get to use some shop tools at my dad's construction company when I worked there on Summer breaks.

The Piranha ironworker PII-88 he's got is 38k... Lots and lots of $$$$$ here.. :shocked:

I used to haul machinery for a local dealer, and we would pick up presses, brakes, iron workers, lathes, mills and other types of equipment for them, and I always lusted for an iron worker and a Bridgeport.

I didn't get much work done to the roller this week, since I couldn't get into the school shop much.. One thing I did get done was work on the pan "lock up" system. The black piece you see holding the pan up is 1/4 black HDPE and yes, it needs more done to it.

What little snow we got here, is going down... :thumbdown: Got the roller home today. 1st shot is the HDPE what will be mounted to the pans front/bottom side. This photo is looking at its bottom side.
