“You keeds git ouwtta herra and go play out by the propane tank”

Ya well, you’re one of those guys who knows how to do stuff.

Likin that cattle guard a lot. 👍

That BBQ looks sweet!

hanco, good on ya. Not much more important in my book than helping out family when you are able to.

As long as it is appreciated.

It wasn’t by the propane tank, their kids have outgrown it, need to bring it to my house for 6 and 3 year old grandkids

Looks Iike he don't use any of it...

Isn't he a little bit too old to be using the SEESAW much?

Maybe you should build him a WEED WACKER!

Just FUNIN' YA!

WOW---143,000+ posts! I wouldn't think you had enough time to TAKE A DUMP!

Hanco, that’s some nice stuff you built.

You the man!

Next on the list outta be lawn mower, weed whacker, and a rake.

LMAO , many of those post without a word ..

Just the difference in Long Island and Texas.

Sorry, but we could tie a 100 foot rope to you, and drag you to death in a day's time...

And no, I don't dislike Yankees. I have a couple of Yankee friends...

Besides all that, Hanco, you are a good guy. I'll never forget your kindness. Merry Christmas!

Because you’re a good dude who likes building things and helping folks out. 👍🤟

Righteous skills on that BBQ hanco.

Thank you Mr Boone, thank you for your service!

Merry Christmas

He is a detective Sargent, works several extra jobs, trying to get their toys paid off. He is working today and tomorrow. He stays busy as hell! I have two great son in laws.

Cool stuff. I like that smoker a lot.

a shame thats news worthy. folks used to do this all the time. The knowledge is waning.

looks like around here for the most part too. just finished welding a contraption to pull wheel bearings off the toyota axle and press them back on a few weeks ago. works good. most I suspect would have no idea. did have to go get the 3rd O2 regulator of my life though... the acetylene one is years old... from the 70s. But the others blow out now and then.

You guys are probably more handy with a welder than I am.

I try not to weld or build fence unless I HAVE to...

Hanco looks like quite the hand with metal of any sort!

Sounds like he built you some grandchildren so you're likely still behind on the deal.

Hanco I have heard you bloom where you're planted. Plain to see where that happened for you and good for you and others. Looks like the grandkids are growing up in the country too. Nothing better in my book. I sure like the barbecue you built, is that a reverse smoker? Tell me a little more about it please. Merry Christmas to you and yours too.

That seed roller is sweet. I’m saving a 50 gal water heater for a similar build.

Hanco will not be forgotten, most of that stuff will be around for a couple lifetimes....

By "saving" you mean have you eye on one in the garbage ditch?

Great job on the projects!! Maybe a teardrop trailer in the future??? Merry Christmas!

Nice smoker/bbq

Where do you find all of the steel you use?

Yes, so is the pit below, built a dozen like it

I get a lot of small pieces at the scrap yard. I built some racks for them, repaired some of their equipment. They let me buy it by the pound.

I buy plate new for the most part

I have friends that keep an eye out for pieces of metal

Naw man, people seek me out. Already have it, cousin brought it by and dropped it off. It’s survived 2 runs to the shredder yard already.

Just great for roll packing turnip seed and clover down in the food plots

Yep. Two boys

I can't believe nobody has asked if you have any single daughters left.

He needs a weed eater.

It needs to said and I will say it many of those pics are worth more than 10 ,000 words. Happy holidays hanco...mb

Nope. Got a granddaughter that seems like she is gonna marry a nice young man from a family Boerne Texas. They have a lot of land in West Texas. She is going to nursing school. She loves to hunt.

Hanco, you're a good man. I've enjoyed your posts showing you building things. Don't leave those Sakos orphan in a deer house alone. Merry Christmas Sir.

Good job, Hanco.

That’s what I love about Texas, I’ve seen more beautiful women that have shot big bucks, used to see it all the time in Hill County, best looking girls in the world!!!

Lots of good lookers in Texas, I’d say Houston and Dallas Fort Worth areas have the best

Built this two weeks ago, need to get it painted, did a thread on building it.

Stuff looks great hanco. You remind me of my late father in law, he did a lot of similar stuff for me. I miss that man more than I miss my own father.

I got a nice little cabin on my place you can come and stay as long as you like....

Thank you for offering, many kind, stand up guys on here!!!

I need to google or find details on that dirt drag. hogs on our place are fairly new unfortunately and I had time to slap together a kind of drag for the wife to use. never dawned on me to do a 3 point. Maybe in the next couple of years I'll have to build one. I sure hate hogs. But not much you can do once they arrive. We had been really lucky for many years....

It works well! If you get leaves or roots hung up, pick it up. It has a piece that bolts on with teeth also. I borrow it, use it with teeth to plant food plots in East Texas. These places have been planted many times, so the sand is soft anyway


I don’t know what will come up if you google that? Kevin complained about the roots so I told him to buy a 3 point hook up, welded it on the drag I built him. It’s like this I made for friend in Madisonville a couple of months ago, then put three point thang on it. It sure slicked up my driveway

There are feral hogs in Alaska???
