Well it's that time of year, she's workin on her project, gettin ready for the fair. This year she chose to build a horse walker. It's comin along nicely, but I sure do wish it were further along. Always seems that there's last minute things havin to get done, before takin it in to the fair.
Actually got to go buy the paint for it today, it's gonna be red and gray. hoping the body will be red, and the arms gray. With maybe a few of the workin parts red.
Workin on the base
Cuttin plate steel
Cuttin on the axel
openin the punkin
Weldin plate on base
Cuttin pipe
Weldin the pipe for the arms to slide into
Welding the frame, that'll hold the cover plates that keep all the workin parts inclosed.
Weldin supports for that transmission to bolt to.
Making the quick release spring loaded snaps that'll be on the end of each arm, in case a horse needs to be let loose in a hurry
Weldin one on the end of the arm.
It's really startin to look like a horse walker now. Next few days should see some major progress, mounting electric motor, and pully's, and getting it moved outside so we can see it work. Then paint.
