Today I found out that 102 year old wood smells the same as new wood when you burn a drill bit thru it..... I can’t believe the stuff hasn’t turned to dust over all these years

What is that? I figured it’s either a very small elevator from an old plane, or, well - that’s all I got.

That actually crossed my mind, but I thought nah, they wouldn’t have used a wooden frame. Why I thought that I have no idea - everything else at that time was wooden


And ya might wanna check the tires for dry rot...... Looks like it may have already started.

I don't know if it's still on the KingsFord charcoal bag but it was started by a nephew I think of Henry Ford. They had to do something with all the wood scraps from all those model Ts. So they started making charcoal with them.

Yes Henry Wanted to sell everything so he got charcoal to be popular

Man it’s crazy how thin the sheet metal is and the whole body is wrapped around a hickory frame, they also have wood floor boards

Don’t worry I’m still working on the Jeep as well, I just didn’t get my seat riser finished before I had to get my little ones from daycare

Also I’m waiting on a reload to the Jeep funds...... I thought I was gonna get enough for a windshield but now it looks like I will have enough for the the front axle shafts which I want way more than the windshield
