Made 4 0f these for my kids. 6' tall
WOW! There's gotta' be several hours in each one of those. Very nice!
Only have a rotary sander and it was a solid 8 hours sanding on each tree.
I finally got around to making a DRO for the tail stock on my lathe.
A couple of years ago we replaced an old wooden deck with a concrete porch. My wife asked if I could make some planters out of the old deck. I made her half a dozen, and since I still had a lot of the old wood I made a few more and advertised them on MarketPlace. To my surprise I sold about 40 of them as fast as I could make them. I ran out of deck wood and found a trailer load of old barn wood. Every spring I make a few more and sell them on MarketPlace.

I did the same thing several years ago. I used a drawbar from and old trailer hitch.
My girlfriend recently acquired a diode laser, and after some experimentation with pieces of walnut and maple, she was able to produce a maple inlay with a walnut field:
I ran across a deal on a surplus military trailer frame and thought, “Hmm… I could do something with that.“. It was a deal as it was but it also had nearly brand new tires on it and came with a pintle hitch. I was shocked to find that the lights even work.
Well, fast forward a bit and I ran across an old DOT flatbed that was on a truck that burned. Again, got a deal. Married the two up, built some easy on/off sides and even built a ladder to make it easier to climb up and down (you can see it hanging on the headache rack). Now I have a heavy duty trailer I can use with my tractor to haul rocks, logs, whatever around my property.
