Is that Dan’s cousin? 😆
What’s pretty cool is the actor who played that character is actually a professional wood worker in real life. It’s probably more of a hobby now though. This is a video tour of his shop.
………WOW! What a shop! This is like main page awesome. Nice find man.
ddddaaaaannnnnggggggg
I know! And when Dan posted some woman commented on it blasting his ass for not posting good stuff!
Yea I felt really bad about that backlash :/ I was just posting a cool woodshop/place full of interesting tools and projects. Can’t win them all.
Don’t feel bad! I thought it was an awesome find.
Oh it for sure was. There are lots of crazy people out there haha
Did someone shout me? LOL 🙂
I remember that post. There were so many comments. Almost as many as the Raven mower. 🙂
haha you have got to love that!
That Raven post taught me that there are lot of fucking people interested in lawn mower reviews. I think some of these people buy a new mower every 3 years. When I buy a mower that son of a bitch is mowing until the motor falls off, and even then it may continue service if I have the mechanical skills to re-attach it. I’ll rebuild carburetors, replace bearings, whatever it takes to keep it mowing. When I buy a mower I buy one from a by gone era when shit was made to last. I own 3 mowers and a tractor and all of them older than Chase( 🙂 ) I have a 1962 Cub Cadet Original (work in progress), a 1967 Cub Lo-Boy Tractor (same thing as a Farmall Cub), a 1998 model Troy-Bilt push mower, and a 2009 Cub Cadet push mower my dad gave me because he didn’t need it anymore. For the price of a new MTD built piece of shit, you can buy an International Harvester built Cub, completely restore it, and it with proper maintenance and care it will outlive all of us (except maybe Chase). I know I’m in the minority of American’s that care about things like that, but I like old shit, I like to work on old shit, and the IH built Cubs were the finest mowers ever built IMHO.
Damn, I’m on a roll tonight 😆
Oh, and the Lo-Boy has a 60″ Woods belly mower hooked up to the PTO. Doesn’t take long to knock an acre out with that bad boy and it’s a hell of a lot of fun doing it 🙂
Yea but those new zero turn mowers look so dam sexy lined up at a dealer of your choice. Wish I had enough land where a riding lawnmower would be needed.
I’m old school I guess. I still prefer a tractor style mower over a zero turn. I guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Agree with everything your saying Conductor. And I agree with you DR99. The tool manufactures are doing their job (and doing it well) when you already have a great tool (that can last a lifetime), then somehow you convince yourself this newer one is better.
I love new tools, but I’m slooowly learning the beauty of owning a tool for a long time. You make memories with them.
Im not on the tractor level yet…haha Im on the 2004 toro front wheel drive push mower…….that only worked for 2 years so now its a full blown push mower….My grandfather is about to get a new mower and he is going to give us his older Craftsman tractor…
There were “WheelHorse” garden tractors back in the day. The were bought out by Toro in the early 90’s if I remember right. They were good tractors. Gravely’s were awesome too.
Theres nothing better than a Deere! If its red as rust it will bite the dust!

I’m an IH kinda guy. They aren’t around anymore. Deere has went down hill as well. I know 2 people who have new farm tractors that stay in the shop more than the field.
Nothing worse that a machine where the people who fix it have it longer than you do.
My dream mower is a badboy outlaw zero turn with the big swing haha.
haha that sounds beastly!
lol i meant the big wing haha Spell check……ChaseRogers wrote:
