Transcona, the Dirty Old Cougar

I swore to myself that this would be a rolling chassis before the snow flew. Luckily I am fat and can work when it is too cold for most.

Before we put the chassis away for winter I wanted to put diagonals in to prevent any shifting as it’s removed from and reattached to the jig. Don’t need to diamond the frame by running into it with my tractor, do I?

I am quite lucky. As a school teacher I occasionally have the opportunity to let the kids help on my projects. Teaching a vocational program the opportunities to use tools and smarts at the same time is a gift. When we have some spare time we just start to tear into something and have a little fun. Occasionally plumbing code requires us to take a break.

Remember when I said plumbing code could get a little boring? Well that happened on this day and the kids were more than happy to take out some frustration.

Now I can answer and show you why the steel I beam was in the previous posts.
I promised that the jig was an evolving unit and it appears this is just another period in that development.
