My Tools in the garage

2008-03-16T18:56:00.012+01:00

En "true" rodder, bygger det mesta själv tycker jag, med det menar jag det man klarar av. I mitt fall är det: konstruktion (med hjälp av nätet och tidningar), svetsning, montering/skruvning, renovering av det mest (inte automatlådda'n) klädsel, dock inte stolar/soffa men övrigt, slipning och lackering. Motortrimning får man prova ordna. Kanske behöver man hjälp - får se hur det går. Inställning av framvagn-vinklar. Svååårt fall....
Här visar Jag lite verktyg som Jag har samlat på mig och använder.
Eng: A true rodder are trying to build the most himself (so much you can do) here are some pictures from my garage.

Modern Times/Moderna tider

2008-03-05T23:38:00.007+01:00

Tänkte skriva några rader om vår moderna tid vs för 100år sedan. Var ute i fjällvärlden i Lördags, till en bosättning som fanns för 100 år sedan, heter Äggsjön. Några familjer flyttade över fjället 1,7 mil ut, dom byggda hus, lador och uthus. Fraktade allt byggmaterial med häst, måste tagit 1-2 år bara detta. Sedan allt bohag (kanske inte mycket) sedan bo där opraktiskt! Idag inte värt nått, står öde sedan -50 talet, tragiskt och trist.
Eng: These house was built well over 100 years ago, out in the mountains, a sad sight today. All this work - worth nothing today!
