Ok it's not really new, it's between 110 and 112 years old, but it's new to me. My nephew brought it by for me today. He aquired it and it had a chunk missing from the heel so he chopped it off, milled the top steel plate smooth again and gave it a paint job. I figure it looks pretty good...

I know there is alot of building experience here on the forum so I figured I had better ask for opinions on a new shop build. I'm eventually going to build a single slope roof/lean to shop onto an existing large machinery shed. All "plans" are unfixed and subject to change but I'm thinking...

Anybody own or have experience with a chainsaw operated winch? There are of course a few commercial units available but I'm thinking I might enjoy making one myself utilizing an old chainsaw. I'm thinking a hand operated winch in the 1000-2000lb category with appropriate gearing to the...
