Awesome project, I really enjoy watching your progress.

Got my mill up and running and started my first project with it. Started work on the pedestal binders. Got all 8 cut and milled to length. Next is to drill mounting holes. Also received the drivers and journal boxes back from Andy Pullen. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c121/boogie5strg/59a304d3-8...

Great video Russ. So far in my short time I've had a lot of fun but the most fun I've had has been at TM. So much so we plan to relocate to that area in the near future.

Same here. Nice job and my favorite reefer too.

Hey Andy, thanks for posting this.

Today I did some clean up on the Spring Equalizer Bearings. All 3 are ready to notch, drill/tapp and cut slots. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c121/...

Yes they have a railbike at Train Mountain. Only one that I saw that is theirs. I have seen a few others that are similar but built by others. Here is a short video of my wife riding it at Train Mountain

Awesome Dianne. Glad you found something that will work for you. I am waiting for a Grizzly GO755 to be delivered. I have already bought some accessories to go with it. I'm looking forward to being able to learn and work at home instead of always having to go to my buddies.
