Weld on FEL Hooks

canoetrpr · Jul 12, 2008

Looks great!. I'm wandering around my shop looking for welding projects. I've just started to get into welding so stuff breaking that needs fixing is fun now

Rob, I'm going to build a bracket for my box blade to allow me to fix the rear hinged blade for final grading. The things you can do with a welder eh?

Thanks for the ideas guys. I welded on the two outer chain hooks and the big center hook on my FEL. What a difference! It sure is nice being able to pick things up. I use 15' of 5/16" chain and I love how easy it is to position.

Thats a nice tidy bit of work you did there. A good bit of skill and pride I might add went into it. Congrats. Can't be done any better than that.

Ah heck yes. I get a good solid 4.5 hours sleep most nights

If I don't get that full 4.5 hours sleep I end up looking like this

I don't think there have been a time in the last 6 years where I haven't had a project in progress. Right now I'm in the middle of restoring an old Toyota forklift. I'll try and post a few pics on this site later today. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed viewing the pics.

Oh buy the way. I have one one of those air files. Picked it up at an auction for next to nothing. Was in a box of other stuff but it was new at the time. I had it in my tool box for years and then last year I figured if I have it I should use it which I did and it's a great tool to have. I bought the orginal sanding belts for it but found they don't last a long time. They tend to break after a dozen uses and there not cheap up our way so what I do now is go get the same length for a wide belt sander and cut them to size. You get many belts out of the one belt for a fraction of the cost and they last just as long if not longer. Thought that might be a good tip to know.

I wish I could get by on 4.5 hours sleep! I need 8 to 9.

Thank you very much sir. Appreciate the compliment. I enjoy restoring or customizing old stuff. A change is as good as a rest that's why I restore so many different items. If you want to see how I did one of the bikes I restored you can click on the link below. Thanks again for your kind words. Made my day
