Howdy Curt, 

Nice work on the roofing, but sad to have to cover those rafters.  Looking forward to the head frame build.

Have fun,

Afternoon All,

Thank you Terry, Mike, Larry, Jeff, Rick, Jerry, Greg, and Tom for following along and your kind words.

Today I finished the 1st side frame for the headframe.

One thing I found strange was that the truss rods are put in on the inside of the glued legs and don't go all the way through like on the tipple legs.

For something that looks very complicated when looking at it, the directions are actually fairly easy to follow.

I did have a head scratcher about what strip wood to use at one point until it clicked that the skinny side was out.

Curt looks like will be pulling ore up from the ground sooner than later!!!  Nice job!!

Curt, nice color on the wood and everything looks nice and neat.

Curt great job on the head frame so far. This build is really starting to shape up nicely. Enjoy and have fun.
