Projects completed in June 2006

These are the aluminum storage boxes built for a local trucker. They were custom made to fit in the space between the fuel tank and the fender of his truck.



One of the boxes mounted on the truck.



This is the third canoe trailer that we've built. This trailer is going to a Bible camp in Alberta. It has room to haul 7 canoes (3 on each side, one on the top) and plenty (almost 180 cubic feet) of room for the lifejackets, paddles and other stuff in the storage area.

An inside look at the canoe trailer.

This gooseneck hitch ball was installed on an older 1 ton former grain truck. The plate is 3/8" thick. There are two flush-mount places for safety chains to hook into and a standard 2 5/16" ball.

Custom made horse troughs. Please note that the dates on the following pictures are incorrect.

Headache rack added to an existing deck on a pickup truck.

3' high x 6' wide doorstep with railings.

Projects from the Past


Rusted out truckbox-before picture. You can see the rust and patches near the wall of the box. Over 12" had to be removed from the floor on both sides and replaced with new steel.


Truckbox - After picture



Elevator Drive drum. Pictured on the right is a drive drum for the elevator used by a fertilizer distributor. This drum was badly rusted and worn. On the left is the new drive drum built of stainless steel.



Custom made roller stand for a cabinet manufacturer.



Custom built 50' diameter lagoon dam with 25'x50' trusswork to place it in the lagoon.
This half circle dam was built to hold back liquid in a hog barn lagoon while new pipes and spillways were worked on in the lagoon. A 25' x 50' T shaped trusswork was required in order to set the dam in place with a high hoe.



Custom built header transport



8" auger with badly damaged end. Auger also needs to be shortened.



After: auger has been shortened by 6' and a new gaurd, bushing and hitch have been put on the bottom end. Auger has been converted from PTO drive to engine drive.



Custom made "pull out" hitch for the rear of a cultivator to pull a set of packers.
