Thanks again!
Great machinery,but I did not understand the purpose of piles..
Best regards
The porous of the piles being driven along a shore line would in all likely hood have been the precursor for a retaining wall in an effort to slow or prevent erosion
Hopefully someday I will be able to recover lost data from several of my old hard drives to sho w3 or 4 of the barges and pile drivers I built years ago
Hi Toma, I explain at the beginning of the video that it is to replicate the concrete edge on the other side of the causeway. It is all long complete now, I will take some pics if I remember.Quote:

It would be fun to see how they did the rest of the project. Any pics or links?
Thanks.
No the barge was purpose built for hammering piles into this very lake (well 2 lakes). I have yet to find what has happened to footage after this point, but I can always take some pics to show you the finished result. I should do it soon before we get more rain so you can see the below waterline view as it currently stands.
Do you have any plans showing how you built the barge? I don't know if they're there and I'm just not seeing it but I sure would like to know how
I know I'm probably not posting this right but don't really see any other way to post. I'm a new user so be kind to me please
