Finnigans Homestead
Приєднався 11 лис 2021
We bought this property out in the sticks of east Tennessee in 2020. Taking a tip from Noah, we moved the houseboat we have lived on in Hilton Head Island SC up into the hills and planted it on top of one. The plan is to build a house out of the materials we have on our 42 acres and do it alone and from scratch. I built a saw mill to cut the lumber out of the trees we have here and moving dirt and rocks where the house is going to be. That and all the other things that get in the way and side track a guy, like chickens, dogs cats , geese and a whole lot of other stuff. And sometimes I have to actually work to pay the bills.
Manatee with baby
Walking the dock in the rain I spotted a manatee mother with her little one drinking the runoff rainwater running down

Splitting some oak and hickory
Переглядів 131День тому
Splitting the last two logs i have for now. The first one is red oak and the second one is pig nut hickory . The oak is easy but the hickory is very stringy and one has to run the edge all the way down most splits and then still tear it apart.
Solar power station

Don't know why they call it a solar power station as I have no panel hooked up to it but it makes a lot less noise than my gas generator. I would never buy an electric car but this batterie thing has its uses

Looking over the railing of the jetty yesterday I saw my first manatee of the year. The most laid back creatures of the see for sure.

Update on the homestead

I have been busy with my day job and some other things, so only got to put out fires here at home and was in too much of a rush to dig the camera out to make videos. But here is what happened in the last couple of weeks.
Using the lumber I milled

I am extending the shed / chicken coop and building a road side stall with the lumber I milled with my DIY band saw mill. Its fun to turn a tree into all sorts of things on the homestead/

Milling an Empress tree

Slabbing up an empress tree on my DIY band saw mill . The wood of this tree is supposed to be very light and is used for furniture and musical instruments in asia. I wand to dry these slabs and I think the material would be great to carve fishing lures and such out of ..... we shall see in a few month if that will work.

I hate it when the primers don't quite come out. I broke my Redding decapping pin Tuesday, doing 5.56. Hate those crimped primer pockets too!😢
brass prep for the 223 is a bit more involved when using range brass , thats for sure
So, how did she shoot?
just around half MOA .
Do you sell those type of bullets???
Vedy cool ❤❤❤❤
Good vid mate, subbed cheers Yogi 🤙✌️🇦🇺
It is an interesting cartridge. You think someone sometime will get tired of fooling around and come out with the 22/ 50 BMG ?
Looks good! Going to miss you on TM, but i do understand. They need to be careful they will end up being like coyotes r us,
I am to old to get told what to do in my time. I did enjoy the 20 some years on there though. In a couple of month no one there will remember that I was ever there lol
I sure wish you lived next door to me so I could borrow your tools occasionally. 😊
Nice❤
i got like 5 of these and one is nesting
Beautiful
good job nice looking lumber!
Love the truck badge (fjb)
Yes that 3D printer has a mind of its own 🤭
Nice job on the sawmill, saw your comment on sawing with sandy and thought i would take a look.
Thats you for the kind words
My condolences to you over the death of your pet cat.
Thank you Andrew
Well done. Do you use a backhoe with that tractor?
Sorry I just stumbled over your comment . No I do not have a backhoe for this tractor.
Bravo 🎉
I've wanted a wood mizer for quite a while. This is excellent ideas and motivation to not wait for those $$$ to be saved.
My grandfather once told me,that there is no such thing as scrap. It’s just a lack of imagination
Normally they are finished faced while installed on the shaft itself . That way there is no runout.
In an ideal world that would be true. The shaft is round stock with no machining done to it other than the key slot cut ... so this is good enough after measuring the prop shaft with a micrometer and checking for runout with a DTI , I took the easy way out without hauling the boat out and dropping the rudder etc.
Oh Mike & Linda they are awesome! What’s the names and I have egg crates plus your palm thing remember but we never see you.😢
The one that looks like a miniature St Bernard is Cowboy and the other is called Norman
I need to add a second rear spool valve….can a t be used to split two open center spools?…..I’d rather not go all the way back to the pump….
Yes you can install as many open center spools vales in series as you want
How can you spot the power beyond port ? Maybe it’s cheaper just to buy a 4 spool block vs adding another spool valve…?@@finniganshomestead2956
Hoooo dó desse bebê chorando de fome coitadinho opaaa achouuu o peito da mamãe agora é só beber o leitinho dela ❤
Super Cute 🥰🐾🐾
Congratulations Elle!! 🎉😊
I was using W296 in carbine. For some reason with manual recommended 14 H110 the cases looked really blown out and expanded more than with the Win powder or factory loads. Headspace and barrel is not and issue in this case. Did not cause any problems, it just looked hot on the fired cases. I got 2400 but have not used that in carbine. Loads were with either 110 RN or SP.
You’re a great fabricator. Good job!
Thank you for the kind words, but this is easy enough for anyone to do with a little patience and that super power called common sense
Yanmar all day.👍👍🤌
Wish someone come up out of tradition and produce wildcats or non traditional loads like this and come up with pistols or revolvers for these loads like fk did
.
I use for my 1943 M1 Carbine 13.5 grain H110 , bullet PPU 110 grain FMJ .Have shot several thousand and no malfunctions.Ramshot Enforcer is also very good
I tried a few powders but keep coming back to H110 for the 3 carbine. It just plain works and i am done sperimentin with it.
What is down the hill trail?
That leads down to the spring and the place of the last video
I am not fortunate.
This is cool
I want that job!
No you don't.... there is nothing like a brush hog mower to wake up every bug in a square mile and wanting to have a go at the guy driving it.
Dog proof traps work great. Saves time too.
Thank you for posting this! It's exactly what I've been looking for.
I use Redding sizing wax all cases . And trim all to 1.280 . A slight flare to the mouth and a slight taper crimp 14.5 gr of H 110 works Great 👍
That thing is really poor quality! 2 years it’ll be solid rust! I feel for ya! But you did buy it!
It will take me a couple of days work to turn it into a decent trailer that will hold up to what I use it for. The trick is that ya don't have to live with what you get. You can change and improve things as and when needed and still end up with a good trailer at a decent price. I have invested 1 gallon of black farm paint, 6 tubes of PU based sealant a solar panel with charger, a wireless remote for the pump a hand full of welding electrodes and a few extra grease nipples. I'll probably change the hitch to a pintle style soon as well. Not including the hitch I am under 100 bucks into improvements and 12 hours of my time.
what would be a good starting load for w680 and 130gr cast
I would stay away from cast bullets as they gum up the gas system and that ta keys some time to put right again and 130 is a tad heavy for it as well unless you are not using an M1 carbine
@@finniganshomestead2956 I put hundreds of rounds of cast bullets through my m1 carbine never had a problem I just lost my reloading notes in a house fire
@@finniganshomestead2956 ive shot hundreds of rounds through my carbine with 130 gr cast and ball 680 with absolutely no issues, ihave 2 lbs of 680 and there is nothing else suitable around,my reloading notes were lost long ago,i realy dont want to guess
@@charlieburnup2521 I use the 110 grain copper plated Berries bullets and H110
Like 👍👍👍
Thanks
I have a Yanmar 424 and thinking about upgrading to the 235, looking back this is the tractor I should’ve bought first lol
i don't think you'll be disappointed . I am logging with it again this weeks, dragging big oak logs around to eventually feed my saw mill with. .. Thanks for watching
looking forward to seeing the mill working
Where did you buy your box blade? I want to buy one in the Netherlands, but nobody sells them..
This one is from Tractor supply company
Have to disagree, it's a tapered wall. It's .356" at the base and .336" at the mouth.
You are correct. But to all intense and purpose you can treat then as straight walled in so far that there is no shoulder to bump and they head space on the case mouth etc. just like a straight walled round. They also do not seem to grow and need trimming like a bottle neck cartridge does. The slight taper is there to ease extraction as there ain't much pop in this round to cycle the action.
If anyone is interested I got the eisenglass at Sailrite.com Its where I get all my materials for canvas jobs and projects . They are usually pretty quick with shipping and over all a helpful bunch.
I have a 1985 Yanmar 2620D and recently purchased a second tractor. It too is a Yanmar . Its a 2022 YT235. Great tractors ! There were none available at the time with a cab so I will either wait for an aftermarket to become available or make my own.
I am on and off that tractor so many times when I a getting firewood etc that I probably would have worn a door flat out by now. So I prefer the open version for what I use the tractor for.
@@finniganshomestead2956 As long as the doors are removable for warmer weather I think the cab would be useful. The winter wind is why I want it enclosed. I have a half mile driveway up a hill to keep snow free and that wind will cut you in two....
I bought a Yanmar YT 235C / Cab. Having heating and air and being immune to wasps and bugs in general is well worth the cost to me. Yanmar makes their own cab and trust me, in the winter, when you put the heater on low, you'll have to turn it off because it knows how to heat! It's low profile enough that I can pull it into my 9ft tall garage if I need to. I did a lot of research and chose Yanmar over all the others in this horse power range. It has an excellent 10 year warranty and with a package deal I saved $1000's of dollars on the tractor and each attachment and the 20ft trailer. Go test drive a Yanmar. I should be working for them! lol
Cute Pup ... Lovely to see them two together 😊
Finnigan has more patience with her than I have. Se is a little rascal for sure. By the time she is out of the playful age, his tail will look like that of a possum 😁
A beautiful pet congratulations to your new family 😇🤗❤
