Well by hunter,my 13 year old Grandson,
Here is he running the saw,



 

And turning a log,



 

This is all white pine for the veggie stand. We both had a ball.

Order him a LogRite  ;D.

That is an experience that will make a life impacting impression on him.

Looks like a great day especially getting to spend it with your Grandson.  :)

I would really like to have a Logrite. Been looking hard at them. No job,so no money. Maybe we will make enough with the veggie stand.  ;D  My wife will also be selling biscuits,jam,jelly,cookies,whoppie pies,bread,small pies and more. Aprons, and potholders too.

My wood skills just about end at the sawmill. Sometimes it ends at the stump.  :D

thecdarm, great opportunity for you and your grandson to spend some quality time together.  Money can't buy that.  Not many young folks today have the opportunity or interest to convert rough logs into a beautiful useful product, lumber.  Thanks for sharing the moment.

Built my own band mill with the help of Forestry Forum.

I told him about he's about to see what nobody else has ever seen. The inside of the log. I think Tom said that???
We went for a walk and I told him I should do some thinning of some Norway Pine and why. First 20  minutes the mill was off more than it was on. I was telling him what we was doing with the log and sawmill and why. He's a good student.  ;D

Thanks for sharing this story.
Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned.

You are a good Grandfather.  Those lessons can not be learned in school and the time spent together will be remembered forever.  Some folks call it "bonding" but I call it "love and respect".
