Mr. McKenney
Добавлен 5 окт 2020
This channel is about a family of Maine residents that find a simpler life of homemade products and outdoor adventure to be the basis of a happy life. Here you will find things from logging and wood work, metal working, food creations, hunting, trapping and fishing, as well as family trips of Maine and abroad. Nothing specific here just a little bit of our creative life style.
Mr. Mckenney Is a high school welding technology instructor. This adventure was started as a request from the students to learn other things that he had to offer that could not be taught in the public school system, and get a glimpse into a world that many are not familiar with anymore.

Clinton Maine Community tree stand build.
This was a fun and rewarding project for me. The Town of Clinton Parks and Recreation Department approached me with a request to create a sturdy metal structure to support a tree by the river.

I sourced all the materials from my collection of scrap and recycled metal supplies. Every piece of steel in this project was repurposed-materials that were once destined for the scrapyard now have a new life. I truly enjoy the challenge of looking at a pile of scrap meta...

This video may not be for everyone. It's a special project dedicated to family and friends. I wanted to extend an invitation to everyone to view the slideshow of the making of a burial vault in honor of Frank Caverly. Decades of effort this man invested in me has helped me to reach where I am today. This is my way of giving back, a gesture to reflect the time and effort he invested in me.

As we prepare for the upcoming lobster season we take advantage of the 25 alewife apiece that we are allowed to go out and dip for. We then brought them back to the house and salted some for keeping and the others we put directly into bait bag and the in to the deep freezer. I still don't know what type fishes best but the frozen bait bags are done and convenient.

This is a restore of my great grand parents 1951 Alumacraft F model. They bought it new that year and has been around the family. This year we cleaned her up, gave it a new transom a proper name as well as a new 25 hp Yamaha outboard. We also fixed up an old trailer that had been used past the point of usable. This maiden voyage was out on lake George.

This little project came about from the boys hating to cut up small wood. They were telling me for years they need a wood processor. I sat down one night with a napkin and started to draw. A few attempts and a trip to the scrap iron pile and the help of one of my students, "thanks Ryan" this was born.
