Sawing project 2019

[OffGrid973]

First Watcha next PDFs, I think someone is breaking their own rules

[Jeff]

Pdf documents using the document uploader is not breaking rules. Using pdf to post a photo is.

[customsawyer]

Does anyone have anything they would like to see done at the project?  We normally have a little slow time at some point that we can demonstrate something else. If you do, speak up and we will see if we can make it happen. I personally like to turn ole Big Words loose on y'all and see the smoke come out of phones as you are searching google to see what he just said. :D

Here is an update of attendees as best I can discern from this thread.  Correct me if need be.

I look forward to seeing the RRQS technique first hand, if possible.

Thank you all, for sharing your knowledge on this Forum!!!  I've been spending so much time reading that I'm not spending enough time sawing.  I look forward to learning more first hand and meeting you all!  

[petefrom bearswamp]

Mossey chariot Thanks for the list
Wow looking forward anxiously to seeing all of the attendees.
Too bad about Raider and Wild Bills tho.
I was going to bring him some excellent NYS extra sharp cheese like I did when we wintered in FL.
Also Doc, I downloaded the handout, but the 35 pages put a strain on my paper supply.

[customsawyer]

Pete you can still bring the cheese.

[customsawyer]

After a quick search I think we are missing K-guy and Jeff from what I saw. Maybe a couple of others.

 . . . .  Does anyone have anything they would like to see done at the project?  We normally have a little slow time at some point that we can demonstrate something else. If you do, speak up and we will see if we can make it happen.  . . . 

Hey Jake - my brain has been froze for a few months and getting thawed out with friends will be a hoot. 
How about: "Three Logs, Three Sawyers"?
Here it is: Three less than perfect logs are milled by three savvy sawyers. 
As the log gets milled, the sawyer goes through their cutting decision process re: cut list, 'reading' the log, opening cut, positioning and cutting pattern, etc. 



Comments, suggestions and multi-syllabic hyphenated celluosular histologically big words should probably start flying through the air as the sawdust flies. 
Waddaya think?

[doc henderson]

barney67 was bringing the handouts.  i so not see him on the list, also if he cannot get them mailed before the Friday meet, let me know and I am happy to do it as well so we have them in time for the conference.  i printed mine front and back, so it takes less paper.  

[doc henderson]

there has been a little interest in cutting and processing cookies.  i may be flying so I cannot bring my jig, as well, most of the questions came from "up north"  so not sure if anyone in this group is interested.  i am happy to give my 2 cents on ways to improve survival of the cookies.  (sorry MM if that should have gone to the Survivor thread)

[Southside]

Doc - cookies don't survive long around me, especially chocolate chip.     Oh wait, you are talking about something else.. :D

I may have a tip on cookies .

[Mossy Chariot]

Post #178 updated to include K-guy and Jeff as attendees.  If someone can verify if barney67 is attending, I can add him as well.

I'm all for learning about cookies.  @doc henderson - you have probably posted info you your jig previously.  If so, provide a link.  If not, I'll learn in April.

Thanks!

[Bearpau]

Let me know what to bring

[Bearpau]

I m guessing I will be 24 coming from Roopville Ga

[doc henderson]

@Barney67 , trying to update the list, are you still planning on attending in April, just sat. or Friday also?

[Barney67]

Yes, please add me to list, attending Saturday only at this point.

Thanks

[YellowHammer]

If we do the RRQS demo again, we should ask for a volunteer(s), who wants to closely participate, help measure and level the log, and identify the next rotation and cut (with Jake driving his mill, of course), especially folks who have tried it and had issues, or didn't quite get the hang of it, or want first person tutoring in front of a crowd, and I will hand the lumber crayon to them and see if they mark the correct cut line and why.  

Ought to be fun to get more folks involved with the actual decision making of the technique instead of just observing us.  

Depending on things, we can even do a purposeful no fleck miss cut and and correction, and I can explain how to adjust cant angle and chase max fleck on the wedge without wasting wood.  That is the real advantage of this technique, the ability to free style and tailor the heaviness of the fleck in the narrowest boards so they are maximized on the widest boards, instead of the conventional technique of quartersawing where the initial wide cuts are guesses and the amount of fleck is left to chance.  



 
   

[Mossy Chariot]

I will gladly be one of the VOLUNTEERS (Go Vols!!!) in the RRQS demo.  Have not done it, have not yet tried it, so if YellowHammer can coach me through it, anyone should able to do it. 
I might be a little distracted if the Vols, by chance, make it to the final four.

Here is an updated attendees list.

[petefrom bearswamp]

If my glaciated brain can remember it I WILL bring cheese.

[doc henderson]

can anyone think of an easy way to tally who needs a copy provided vs print at home and bring.  We are the forestry forum and I hate to waste paper and add to expense if not needed.  I have printed my own copy and have it on my lap top so I do not need a copy of Gene's pdf.  should we PM if we need a copy @Barney67  or is there a better idea to estimate number of copies needed.  It is 16 pages both sides, so x 60 people starts to add up.

[tule peak timber]

I am bringing my own copy . Rob  Tule Peak Timber

Doc, I filled up a medium flat rate box with 45 copies of the kiln class handout and mailed it out to Gene Friday, he should get it today or tomorrow. I can bring more if needed.

[doc henderson]

problem solved, I bet at least 15 will bring there own.  I called my shipping place cause 18 x 60 is over 1,000 sheets or 2 reems of paper, @ 10.5 # and 32 dollars.  Thanks again Barney.

Hi All,
New member, though I've been lurking for a while now. We'll be in the area and would love to join you for both days. 1 person (Ken) for the training. We will arrive in a self-contained camper van. My wife's name is Laura. Hoping we can park overnight on site. 

Thanks. Looking forward to meeting everyone and learning a few things too.
Ken
