A close up

There's some close ups of them in "photos". But they're just some holes cut in three quarter bar stock with an offset ring welded in.

I made these years ago. I've got them for specific sizes of pipe. They really work well for a backwoodsy kind of contraption.

Bad things seem to like fence lines. Fire ants adore them. So does poison ivy. And of course there's the cedar trees. If you want a cedar break in north Texas all you have to do is stretch a wire and the blue jays will make it happen.
Every now and then it'll all come together. This was one of those.

Of course it wasn't easy. But once she got her back up there was no stopping her.
You just have to love a willing tractor. She can make one's life so much easier.
