Coincidentally, yesterday I just performed the last rites on what used to be my favorite recliner/rocker.    Put the metal into the municipality's scrap metal pile; wood into our camping supply; my lovely and talented assistant salvaged the polyester (?) batting for her stash;  most of what was left went to the municipal dump's "burning pile," though I did recycle a  small amount privately in my backyard "fire pit."

Fwiw, the replacement chair ... an honest-to-goodness Laz-Y-Boy .... aside from having more leather [in a darker color], it comes in a distant second in a head-to-head comparison to the no-name.      [Too soon oldt, und too late schmart??] 

Progress..wheel wells. N the other bent up section that I might do..

Rain today n tammarra...so moved inside...

Bugger..the spot putty did not stick well..halfta sand it all off..n redoo... :0/

Bummer.  One of the reasons I like fiberglass .... it's very "forgiving."   

Ahhh...the spot putty i used was very old..n a differnt brand from the paint I used..

I'll buy a new tube..n try a gain...
The truck body has a few issues.. n I am not going to try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear..
But I still want a respectable job done.. :0)

Been quite the paper chase to get all the papers to get it registered..
But..I think...I think..
It should fly now..
Only a few years ago one only needed a bill of sale for a non titled vehicle..

But now one needs the bill of sale notarized..and the old or last current reg...
Which i did not have..
The truck has been idle in disrepair for 3 years now..
But by a stroke of luck.. the former owner..still had the reg in his desk...

We met up n exchanged paper work in front of the notery..

N.
Hopefully all is well with the World... ;0)

..... but, but, but Al .... just remember "they" are "keeping us safe."    

.... or should tht be protecting us from ourselves??

Registering my homebuilt trike in 2000 entailed jumping through several unnecessary hoops .... if history teaches us anything I expect several more have been added in the ensuing 1/4 century.  [Time apparently flies when you're having fun; it doesn't seem that long ago.]

Glad you were able to get 'er done. 

Well..we'll see...
DMV systum here has a lot of twists n turns..

Well it was ...nip n go..today at DMV....

Had 1:pm appointment just got home...
Plates in hand...

One glitch.. not DMV's fault..

DMV..was actually a big help..
As our insurance company..screwed up all our paper work...
Wrong vin #...
DMV...let us stay there. N get it corrected.. (phew)!...
No new appointment needed.. ;0)

Well it got it's ritchual vacuuming n window wash...2 new batteries installed..n a full tank of fule..

On to the next thing.. .I guess... :0)

3 phase band saw for steel....
New acquisition... :0)

^^^ one and a spare??  

Do you have 3-phase power?  ... a converter(?)?  ... or do you just swap in a 1-phase motor? 

[I'm no electrician ................. but, but, but, fwiw, my Dad was one.]

Probly go with a converter..as we do not have 3 phase as of now..

Built a tool...
Hope it works..
Fer making 11" steel hoops....

Wanna bend 3/16"thick 2 1/2" wide flat bar stock into ...11" hoops...

1st test run..

Gonna mount it to a heavy bench..before dooin the heavy steel..

Be a few days before I get back to this..but i am looking forward to it..

Here ya go Owen... 3rd phase..

Me buddy had an old motor that fit the bill...
He's workin on it for me...as i can not really bend right now..

This saw is really cool....
It has a setup that welds broken blades back together... :0)

Now ^^ would be handy!   

[1/2" blade for now as I just broke my 3/4" blade 2 or 3 days ago .... possibly there's somebody closer, but in the past I've had them welded by an outfit in Winnipeg ... 4.5 hours away.   No particular project on the go .... have an appointment in Winnipeg in early November ... time will tell .... I guess.]

Bet you could mig weld it..
You got a mig..or a buddy with a mig gun?

Our son-in-law who lives a few blocks over has one .... I'll have to check.   I've only ever used a stick welder and was only ever "okay" when I could get pretty much directly over the piece .... nowadays I'm more of a grinder than a welder.... put lots on and grind away the excess.  

If you use the mig...
Do little quick zaps..
