nice load of "logs"

[weisyboy]

bloke ran up said he had 3 logs 1' diameter and 4' long i told him to bring em out and id cut them.

he arrived yesterday in a Nissan Extail (small 4wd) i looked for a trailer but there was none.

this is what he pulled out of his back seat.

i loaded them on the ute this arvo to take to the mill in morn still not quite sure how im gunna cut them.

the smallest one had a small end diameter under 3"

biggest is 6" diameter.

maybe 16" length, and tell him his fire wood is ready :D

His problem is defining what a "log" is.   :D :D

I had a similar instance with a guy and ERC logs.  He drove 65 miles, and I saw no trailer.  About 6 "logs" in the back of his truck.  When I finished, he said "how much".  I said "nothing, that was not enough to charge".  He gave me a $60 tip.      I got something for sawing nothing.

problem is these will probly take longer to mill than the logs he described on the phone.

You are exactly right about that.  There is no way to clamp and stabilize stuff like that.  It makes for a dangerous situation.

That is about like the guy with the 13 hp tractor that had a couple of logs that fit inside the little bucket that came driving up to where I had the mill set up. He asked if they were to short. I told him they sure were but stuck them on the mill and clamped them up along with some tailings, squared them up and cut them to the size that he wanted.
I got a friend that is a bowl turner. You just never know what he will pull out of his van.

You could always take a hatchet and put a point on them logs and use them for planting tomatoes...

Just have the guy come by and help, charge by the hours. 

And don't forget the video.  ;)

Now fella's, what Carl neglects to mention is that he looks me straight in the eye, with a deadpan face an tells me he has those 'logs' for me to cut up this morning Using my 10" DanG Lucas I look back at him and say "what logs?!?" ;D ;)

[weisyboy]
