    Steam winch

    Why didn't you just order a dozen # 25 G parts from Grainger? It looks like a geometry trial and error like when I was insulating (wood) a steam cylinder. I think I still have the layout on a piece of sheetrock (I don't throw anything out-just buy another building!) Good job! By the way, I...

    Good Improvements

    I agree, Mark. I actually seek out this site. Facebook seems to seek me out-scary! But then I do qualify as an old fart now.:confused:...

    January work weekend

    I'd settle for any kind of alert. I know it's USUALLY the 2nd Saturday but just a 'WD at LW this coming Sat' would confirm it a few days ahead of time. I guess I need to keep in closer contact with someone in that hard-working group. Good job guys. -John

    Donut storage

    Oh my! I've been an active member of WMSTR for many years now and have travelled to several work weekends at Larson Welding. I have never ever known it was ALL about the DOUGHNUTS! I usually arrive too late participate in that part. OMG! If that was the deciding factor I would have UPS'd or...

    Just curious........has anyone else just gone through a 4 day craving for a big double scoop maple nut or rocky road ice cream cone (or several)?

    WMSTR 1967 video

    Good eye Ned and thanks for the pictures in the museum. I can't believe I missed that in the video. That's always been one of my favorite engines-return flue, chain drive, unique water makeup pump, short & fat, built in Stillwater,MN. I think it is a 25 H.P. I saw it for many years at Dalton and...

    Social Distancing!

    I've taken up ANTIsocial distancing and spend lots of time in my shop working on a big camelback drill press. I'm removing all the RED paint and all the parts to be cleaned up, polished, repainted, repaired, etc before reassembly. It's a monster 25 inch Buffalo Forge about 8 feet tall with flat...

    Steam Up 2020

    Oh come ON...……….I know in the past we have managed to keep that 6 inch spacing while we ate! Oh, wait. That's 6 FEET spacing we're suppose to maintain. Never mind-it would never happen. Avoid the virus and stay well. I'll see everyone at steam school, if not before. -John

    Steam School Saturday 2020

    Hey Clayton! You know I would love to help you out but there is an edger saw calling my name from the Briden-Roen Sawmill (commonly referred to as the real sawmill). Besides that, Jim has doubled our pay rate again this year. Sorry. John The B-R Sawmill--we have big logs.

    Circular Pastry tasting day schedule

    Thanks Jerry! It's nice to see familiar faces and what was accomplished when I don't get there. Glad to see the sawdust blower is ready to go again--lots of brazing I see. I still remember jumping when it literally exploded about 12 feet behind me. We were done for the day/show.

    Jan 18th snow

    A picture is indeed worth a thousand words. Anyone else craving a Budweiser right about now? By the way Clayton, the snow is leaking out of your big blower.

    150 Case pulling Clayton?

    Back when the Railroad got their turntable, wasn't it also then the Pabst Engine crew that had a budget request for an 8-track tape player? Or was that another group? I don't think that has been approved yet.

    Back yard lumber

    Do the changes to your back yard involve rafters? Maybe something 80 x 120 with 14' wall height? That would be nice! That was an awesome load for a single axle truck.

    Sawing

    Hey Clayton, I like your work schedule! That only happens at the B-R Mill when everything breaks down. It happens!

    February Work Day at Larson Welding

    Looks like Clayton & Vern (band saw picture) buy their glasses at the same place! Thanks for the pictures Mark.

    Reverser box

    Yet another interesting C.L. project. What caught my eye though were the shots of the "old" lathe & then I saw it is a 1918 & got even more interested. My winter project has been a full restoration of a 1919 South Bend 15" lathe (8 foot bed) so every part I saw in a picture was familiar. It...

    Steam Engine Line Up for 2016

    One more thought-directly from ICLIDA's post----IF EVERYONE DOES SOMETHING, NO ONE WILL HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING. I love that thought. Tattoo it on your arm. Or at least tattoo it on your brain. It doesn't just apply to working on an EXPO. It is also a good thought for the humdrum boring ongoing...

    Steam Engine Line Up for 2016

    I thought the expo was very well done. I really appreciated the signs by the steam traction engines and the big old fuel powered tractors. They were rare & we could know how rare. They were different from each other & we could read and compare how they differed. For those of us who did not know...

    Trailer & Jeep repairs

    A very very nice display Clayton (& Jane-I know you have some time & effort into this also). I have no idea how much time you have in to these three pieces, but I know it's a LOT! And it shows. Awesome job-I wish I still had your energy. Keep up the great work.
