With August coming up I'll have more down time to watch so If you've already talked about your biography then no worries. I'll find it.

You can do the same with a winch or come along. Stretch the coil between a couple trees etc and carefully tack it in several places before welding it out later. The hard part is measuring and cutting the plates just right.

Brilliant solution to fabbing up an auger. Have done a few auger repairs myself. Two augers in different boilers that remove ash from the bottom of the firebox had burnt and worn away over the years leaving virtually nothing but the tube. My cutomer supplied the flites and just welded them on. One of them was so badly damaged it needed a section of tube too. A very interesting vidoe young man!

What is even crazier than the augers getting worn down from asphalt. Is how the asphalt gets worn down on a 20 year old or so, highly traveled freeway from cars and trucks traffic. If you are ever on old a freeway in a closed lane, look close at the surface and you well see all the rock on the top surface of the AC is worn down flat. Even concrete freeways. Where I'm from there are no flat rocks in AC or PCC mix.
