[Shop-talk] Low and behold, the new log skidder is born!

Special thanks again to Miq!

Here it is, after an afternoon of welding scraps, it lives and works 
better that I can image.

Note, I do plan on changing the sliding ring.  I didn't have anything 
better at the time.  Also, some of the welds are disappointing, but that 
is scrap steel for you!

As I noted on the page, I can now fell, skid, cut, split, and stack 6 
cords of wood in about 5 hours BY MYSELF!  (And the help of a wood 
processor, ATV, and tractor.)

I couldn't do it without you all!
