That really looks good. I can see the difference from here. And if you really want to, I'm sure you could you could get the paint matched and reshoot that fender without much trouble. You could probably even fog in the top of it with a rattle can. I like that rig.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Oh man, I'm on my way!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Yes sir,seems to be.

My mom makes cookies that look like that but are called filberts, German filberts I think is the full name. The pecan sandies that I see are regular flat cookies with no powdered sugar. I think filberts can be made with different types of nuts. She makes the filberts every Christmas. They are great, but I'm a sucker for her rum chocolate truffles
I don't remember you getting this truck. Nice! Buckskin Tan like my Jimmy was. I see it has the J&J Enterprise chrome running boards. Does it also have the visor? I think I see one there

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Milled up some small cherry and black walnut . Most likely make some cutting boards .

I have been doing some maintenance on my deck-over trailer and a new deck was the last task, so yesterday my brother came over and we got down and busy on it and knocked it out. Today I put two coats of linseed oil and mineral spirits 50/50 mix. Almost looks like a piece of fine furniture but won't stay that way for long.

Filbert is another name for what 50 staters call Hazel Nuts, along with Pot, one of Oregons most profitable crops.

If you think some entity is going to eminent domaine your property in the future, put in a crop of Filberts or Pears. The entity will have to pay you for the life time production value of each tree, along with the value of the real property. Could be an 80 year life span...$$$

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Good looking useful trailer. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

[quote=farmall;9267031]You're right, they are hazelnut...mmm mmm good! She always gives me some to take home.
It sure is. That new wood might get a lot of 'character' but you can keep slopping that linseed and spirits on and that wood will stay tight. Of course this is a nice place to let a little lube drip, too ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Can't remember when I first heard of hazel nuts. When I was a kid (in Oregon) they were always filberts. We had a nice productive filbert tree in the back yard, so always plenty of 'em to eat. :chevy:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Being over here in the central part of the country, I've never heard of filberts. Hazelnuts yes but I've never eaten any. My SIL gave me a cup of hazelnut coffee once. I didn't like that.. Same one who makes chili with huge mushrooms in it. Many mushrooms.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Ewww, not a mushroom fan here! I never liked eating fungus.... a few on pizza is OK though.

My dad used to dry filberts on a rack, like English walnuts. Mighty tasty. Sometimes you'll find 'em in mixed nuts. But not in my coffee. :mm:

Put the 85 to work

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Went to our local "Wreaths Across America" today. Very moving as usual. The Lt. Col. from the USAF, who was the keynote speaker was amazing! Little disappointed with the turnout considering the perfect weather, but every wreath was placed.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Looked at 12 acres in Kingfield Maine. 35 minutes to Sugarloaf

Progress . Backsplash is drying I’ll be installing it tomorrow. The plumber is coming next week to hook up the propane

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Looks fantastic!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Thanks

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Got all the windows, skylights and one slider in.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I snuck it in on ya!! :lol: Yes it has the visor too. I swapped my 66 Ford for it. I think that I got the better end of that deal. I have an appointment to get her smogged tomorrow at the same place that smogged it 5 years ago, it only has had 1K miles put on it since the last smog so hopefully it will pass again, doubtful but one can hope. It only has 102K. Not bad for 40 years old.

AllChevy, the house is looking good!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

very nice. That has to feel great, just being able to stand in there and look out.
Camper hauler! They're the best. I've always gone for those. I do remember you mention trading the Ford for something. Did you also sell your big black Ford? I wish I still had my Jimmy

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

the cutting boards turned out well . Made 4 bow bread knives today , 3 black walnut and 1 hickory . Going to make some cherry bread knives and cutting boards after Christmas.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Black truck is gone. All Fords are gone. I'm trying to downsize. I'd regret selling that Jimmy too.

I love the square body dually. I always wanted one. This one's been great so far. She easily passed smog today after being parked for 5 years. I did get the "Is that Frank's truck? again from the mechanic. Everybody asks me that. Yes it is, or it was. Everybody knows Frank and that truck. I guess it'll always be "Franks truck'. I don't dare change anything.

Nice cutting board Mark. I have a nice one that I never use because I don't want to scratch it up.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That must be very rewarding to have conceived and now carried out. My question now is where will you cook? I mean you're not going to make a mess on that are you? :lol:
I did a white oak counter top and it came out very nicely. By the time I took pictures she had it all loaded up with her junk and it's been that way ever since. She even had a granite cutting board cut that covers one whole top. Granite is overrated. It'll dull a knife quicker than snot
I made an extension to my kitchen counter for the microwave. I made a rack below the counter to slide the cutting board in like a drawer. Even put a matching knob on it. The idea was to make more clear counter space. I had another wooden cutting board (thin) I kept tucked away. Now the one stays in it's special place and the other one sits on the counter :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That’s the real beauty of wood . I can always sand and refinish for the finish I used Waterlox it can be recoatedany time without the need to sand . The blank I cut out for the rangetop will be a cutting board that will pretty much stay to the right of the cooktop haven’t gotten around to finishing it yet

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Nice looking truck . I missed a nice square single cab duelly last week . Low miles on it and mostly original paint . Guy came an hour before me and bought it .

I made a real nice two inch thick black walnut cutting board a few years ago . Watched the misses take out the old cutting board and put it on the new one when she’s cutting up veggies .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Couple of things done today . Split some oak and hickory today and moved the pile of split to the stacking area . Had a Forman watching me very interested in my work . Not my picture didn’t have the phone with me but this was him . White Weasel all ready for winter

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Roughed out another small bowl

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Even though the wood had dried for three years it developed a stress crack . So I had to cut it and add a piece of maple . I also finished the backsplash .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I hope I have made the last trip to town for things the wife says we need for Christmas fixins.....

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I finally found some pictures of the counter top I made. This is in our old house in CA. I miss that house :(. We put a lot of money and time into it. Anyway, end grain walnut butcherblock.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That’s a lot of work . I would have taken it with me and use it for something at the new house . Formica is good enough for the new owner

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

You guys do nice work! Here's a maple end grain cutting board I made. That maple is hard! I bought about 40 stair balusters that had yet to be turned. Habitat ReStore sold them to me for $80 +tax. They were 1-3/4 X 1-3/4 X 40 inches. What a steal!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

You guys need to go back to work

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I think I'll always be working :rolleyes:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That counter is really nice! Wife wants a new counter and sink. I know a reliable contractor who is going to do that and install all new kitchen cabinets. I have more money than energy, these days...meaning not much energy. It'd take me months to do the cabinets.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

The counter top came out beautiful . I have white oak 5/4 boards that are as old as the barn . They were cribs and all the boards for the horse stalls used one to make the bathroom vanity I didn’t plane them since I wanted the saw marks but where I cut it was the same color as the countertop you built

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I love the rustic look. That counter was semi-rustic I guess. I saved every scrap of that old oak. It came from a 250 year old building and the tree we figured was about 250 years old when cut. That tree started growing 500 years ago!
