Hi folks ,with the Government forcing me to stay home re:tinkering in the shop...I've had some time to finish up a few projects that's been laying about , I also got some parts back from my Nickel plater & that put the finishing touch's on these units. watch as much/little as you like & please enjoy.

build #1


Build #2 ( I liked building the 1st one so much, I made a second one) subtle differences.



Both running at the same time

Great job on this one too.

A very creative modification of a Jensen #70.

I am surprised that you are not able to (being asked to) work during the shutdown. All of the Governors’ Shut Down Orders I have looked at exempt Transportation & Logistics. We don’t have any operations in Indiana; so, I haven’t looked at your order. But, in PA, CA, NY, IL, CT, MA, MD and MI this is the case. As of Friday, neither Florida’s nor Texas’ Governors had issued a Shut Down Order (the other two States in which we have operations).

BTW: my theory going into this was that Lawn & Garden and DIY projects would significantly increase sales for Lowe’s and HD.  What are people going to do when they are stuck at home....work on their lawns and houses. The last three weeks, sales have been up 30% YOY at one of the Big Box stores.
