Hi all after a lot of searching I have found my new project a Ransomes Mg40 Dumper. Some of you might recognise this as I have bought it of Tom (Dibnah). The engine has already been recon by Tom ( Dibnah)so its just the rest of it what needs sorting. I hope you like the thread and the photos.

Here are one or two photos of  the mid fifties.My wife driving the tractor my late mother in-law and Allison,s sister are on the trailer along with the farmer working with the sheep
That what memories are all about
 

Just a few photo's I managed to get in a break from gate duty.

Hi , hear some photos of my john deere's,

As some of you might have guessed, I like big wheels and tractors. Here's a few of my favourites from last years Newby Hall show - this years venue for the UK wheel horse round up
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
my dad is is one of the shots - if you thought you recognised him...

Here are some pictures of a reproduction Seller's 1925, 48" Klearfront cabinet that I built a few years ago.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
The cabinet was constructed from red oak and poplar purchased from a sawmill. All parts were planed, cut, shaped, and built by me. The hardware is all reproduction items from various vendors. It took me 8 weeks to complete.
 
I had fully restored a similar cabinet back in 2002. So I had saved pictures and dimension from that. I drew my plans from memory. If you would like to view the cabinet that I restored, you can see it here:

Back in 2006 my wife wanted a wine bar for the living room, but the more we looked at places like World Market, Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn... the more we realized that everything nowadays is just laminated MDF. We wanted something real. So we came up with the idea of using an antique icebox, and started looking at flea markets and antique malls.
 
We looked for well over six months to find one with two large doors rather than the more common three door models. We found one that had been gutted by a previous owner, and I retrofitted the interior, making no changes or damage to the original piece. She drew up the design and I blueprinted it to fit the dimensions we had. 
 
It holds 9 wine glasses in a stemware holder from Lowes, and 30 standard sized wine bottles.  (27 in the right and 3 at the bottom left)  The shelf on the top left is for the bottle opener.  Wish I would have thought to take more pictures of it as it went together.  The rack on the right is built completely out of 3/4" square oak stock.  There are four vertical posts that were routed out 1/4" on two opposite sides to nest the horizontal resting bars into. Horizontal bars were glued and brad nailed. When I was done it mapped out to 27 perfectly identical squares, with the perfect depth for horizontal wine storage.
 
Essentially I built it as a kit and did final assembly inside the ice box itself. We like it. It's held up through a household move and now 7 years later still holding wine bottles.
