I can tell yall ain't no country boys :lol: That's a fence post driver, and I've spent way too much time on one. Got one just like it, sometimes wish I didn't. I'm sure it would make a good door breacher too, but I've never used it for that :doh:

Jay, I am watching your build with great anticipation, as I am contemplating the same plans. I'm thinking more of a 25h four stroke, and a possible throttle/stick steering setup in the center of the mid seat. I make furniture as a hobby, but I am a novice with glass work, so it will be a learning experience. PLEASE post beacoup photos! Thanks and God Bless.

Jay
Sorry for the continued hijack your build thread.

I have two brothers in Blue, one in Red. All said fill that post driver with cement and you got a decent door breaching tool.

My son-in-law's family operate a fencing business. He's a professional operator of that device. I've never been able to find one that fits my hands properly. :help:

I've got good news and bad news.

The bad news is that I haven't started my FS14 build yet. The good news is that it starts this Sunday! 8O

The kayak I built for my mother isn't quite finished, but I ran out of time and had to bring it to Michigan when I went home to visit. All there is left to do on the kayak is 4 more coats of varnish, and to install the seat and accessories. So, it's basically done. I'll post a picture of the kayak soon.

This means my garage is empty and ready for another build to start. I am so far behind schedule on this project (and all of my other projects as well) it isn't even funny. Oh well, that's life. Hopefully I'll be late for my funeral too.

I finally cut out some pieces yesterday! I'm so far behind schedule now that there basically is no schedule. Oh well. I'm going to take my time and do what I can when I can. If I stop worrying about getting it done quickly, I should spend more time thinking about doing a good job.

The best schedule is no schedule :lol: , I'm several years in on my build ( I planned on having it done in a year ) I figure It'll get done when it gets done.

Good to see a new build starting up, and post some pics
