Skids fer a steam donkey?

Skids fer a steam donkey?

I'm thinkin' that's a pretty good guess......

But, looks like they're upside down. If true, the ends need to be beveled so they don't dig in when it's being dragged.

I don’t think people realize the raw power these animals have unless they have dealt with them. Even yearlings will seriously fuck you up if you are not careful. Saw a month old calf once nearly crush a kneecap with a kick and an old man who laid in a lot for a full day until he was found paralyzed from a bull. I have broken bones, separated cartilage from floating ribs etc from being caught by bulls myself. There’s a reason most old ranchers look like hell. Everyone of us who have cattle have train wreck stories and scars but these animals are on a different level.

The bigger they are, the slower they appear, but thats an illusion.

It doesn't matter how big a pet they were as bottle fed calves, once they reach a certain age you should never turn your back or trust them..

Beams for a temple? The Japanese have some rules/ requirements for their Shinto shrines and temples…. Beams must come from a single tree, etc. wondering if this is a pair of beams waiting to get moved and finished?

Cheers, Sirhr

PS. Nope.... see below. But found a wicked cool video, so there is that!

That's going to be one very big pontoon boat. Heavy too.

If they're skids, they're right side up now. And the ends are beveled so they don't dig in when dragged. At least that's how I see it...

When In doubt, Google is your friend:

"This Vancouver City Archives photo of just-trimmed skids for a donkey engine is one of the best I’ve seen for sharpness of detail.

"Taken in the 1920s, it’s quality should come as no surprise because it’s a Leonard J. Frank (1870-1944) shot. He’s without doubt one of British Columbia’s finest industrial photographers whose work is in many museum and archives.

"The logs were felled on the British Properties, by the way. You can judge their original diameter by the man posing with the broad axe."\

Here is a much smaller one, but you can see the design.

Spotlight on Dolbeer Spool Donkey

The Dolbeer spool donkey was was built in 1894 and owned by Chemainus Lumber Co. It was purchased from National Iron Works in San Francisco...
