He sure could have cut his time in half with a cutting torch.

Anything is possible with some quality time with a grinder. I think the big one was a Metabo, so he had a good grinder to work with.

I'd be interested in how much time and how many grinding wheels were used. He did a nice job , but it seems like it would have taken quite a few hours.

Reminds me of how much hand crafted work around the Farm was done with hacksaws, files, fire and hammers.

Amazing just how much stuff has been formed/built out of metals without the use of lathes, mills, electric saws etc etc etc.

Then there's the beautiful little anvil and hammer made by TnMike. Thread's around here somewhere.

The smaller grinder was a Bosch. Seemed to be better quality than the Bosch junk around here. I think this was done in Western Europe? Bosch has a better rep over there than here.

(Help for Cutter) :-)
That isn't a "Track" it's just part of a "rail".
A Track is two rails and the bed under them, along with a few ties. :-)

I watched it all, expecting at anytime an ad for Bosch grinders, or whatever brand of cutting wheels he was using.

It appeared the only tools he has is a couple grinders, chisel, hammer and crappy drill press.
