A little more fine woodworking

Post by mbcabinetmaker »

I was inspired by a recent thread by farley to post this project. I didn't actually use the Shopsmith on this one though.

The bucket on my small tractor has always been inadequate for fall leaf removal. So I decided to build a solution.

It required precision radius's

As well as fine joinery

Looks great and very useful.
That is my favorite way to mark off rounded corners.
How many coats of hand rubbed lacquer are you going to give it? :D

I did not equip with Shopsmiths in spite of the setups but because of them.

Fine workmanship.
I have several custom corner marking patterns. My favorite is the quart-a-round, but the gallon-a-round and the half pint-a-round are right behind.
Looks like I'm in good company.

Yes around here the Famo-round (Being a can of Famo-Wood) is by far the most popular.

Works great for hauling the dust bags up to the sawdust bin too.

Looking behind the tractor there, seems to me you could use another shaper or two.

I need to build a project quite similar but mine will operate the other direction. I have a golf cart that has a small dump bed on the back of it that is unbelievably handy. The trouble is it is made of molded plastic on an aluminum frame and is a little light for what we use it for. Using it on rough ground at times has damaged the light frame from the shaking. It is about 42" wide and about 3 feet front to back. It is mounted a little higher than need be too so I want to build a new bed on it which look much like your hauler. I don't need for it to dump, we don't haul huge loads of stone in it. :rolleyes: I could build it as a dump but I would rather build it directly on the cart body and frame and have it completely rigid than have places it might flex. I will add a tail-gate much like a pickup bed. The new bed will sit about 3" lower and will be 48" wide (the width of the cart) and 42" long not counting tail gate. The cart has seat backs mounted on kind of flimsy aluminum brackets but on my bed the seat back will be an upholstered panel that will also be the front of the bed.
That cart is one of the best things I ever bought for utility use on a horse farm. It has kind of wide chevron (tractor type) tires and will go about anywhere. I have driven it through foot deep snow a lot of times. Mud is just a part of a horse farm and it just keeps rolling. It hauls hay, fencing supplies, firewood, a 30 gallon water tank, mulch and even woodworking tools. :)
At Christmas time we refer to it as "the sleigh" (it is red)... Last Christmas eve we had a new 6" snowfall and I made sure it was fully charged and at about midnight I stopped my wife from her Christmas eve chores and had her bundle up well and grab a couple of thick blankets and we took an almost 3 mile Christmas eve "sleigh ride" around part of the horse lanes while the snow was still falling rapidly. She still tells people about it. :)
