Timber Framing/Log construction / Re: My timber frame build
Last post by Ljohnsaw - Today at 01:57:58 PMOk, photos.
I was able to get the planer working again. I think the issue was either the chain had stretched a little or wasn't adjusted tight enough from the factory. It popped once and I assumed it was a stick the fell down in the loop. Then it popped again. When a slightly wedge shaped 2x8 finally jambed in there, there (Tom) was no budging it. It looked like opposite corners were lifting while the others were fighting. All good for now.
Cabin flooring kit, some assembly required.
(The stuff in the background)
At the end of yesterday, I ran all the stair treads through the MP200 to make them all uniform. Go big or go home!
I'm going to have a bit of wain/live edge on the bottom of the front edge of most of the treads. I still need to round over the top edge and rip to width.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: New sawing venture
Last post by Magicman - Today at 01:53:30 PMQuote from: Hilltop366 on Today at 01:07:48 PMJust a different point of view but I didn't say so, however apparently the mill companies did as they accepted the orders and could have easily said "one per customer" or " due to high demand we reserve the right to limit orders" which is tough to do when you are in the selling business. The "make hay while the sun shines" would apply to their side of the equation.
Around here I have seen the same thing with Lobster fishing boats a few years back where fishermen would order a boat long before they needed to in order to hold their spot in the build list. Some were offered and some took money just for their spot on the list, the highest I heard of was 60k for a spot. The boats were running around 1mil then. I also know of a guy that sold his spot on the Robinson helicopter build waiting list for 100k.
Supply vs demand is a crazy thing sometimes.
There is nothing wrong with your examples but they are irreverent to the situation where folks were trying to capitalize on someone else's misery.

Last post by Bert - Today at 01:47:59 PMI have the F150 Raptor. Its alot of fun for a production off-road truck. Smile every time I push the right pedal. I would imagine the ranger Raptors and bronco raptors are the same. Well thought out machines. Adaptive cruise is pretty great on long trips or crowded interstates.

Last post by Bruno of NH - Today at 01:42:55 PMThe 7/39 is OK with soft nails like galvanized, I'm finding.
Like I said screws or bolts your done , no matter what I have on for a band.
Silver tips are softer steel they fair better than double hards

General Board / Re: Deer flys
Last post by Hilltop366 - Today at 01:15:05 PMSearch "deerfly" or "horsefly trap". Lots of good info here on the forum.
I tried tying some blue solo cups with some sticky stuff from a garden centre from tree branches around my cabin and caught a bunch of them. It really seemed to make a difference.

Last post by Jeff - Today at 01:10:54 PMBruno, the deer flies are the worst I have ever seen them this year here in the U.P.. I sent cedar back home with Tammy yesterday as they were tearing him up. Maybe in a week or two he can come back.

The Outdoor Board / Re: I'd Hate to be a Bream in ...
Last post by YellowHammer - Today at 12:56:51 PMThat "shoal" of mud had washed in this year, and I was going to remove it with the excavator to get to the original bank, but when I saw how much the shallow water protected the small bream from the bass, I'm thinking of coming up with some sort of structure I could build and lay out around the shoreline, shallow enough for the baby bream, but somehow would float or otherwise adjust to the changing water level.
I pump springwater init the pond during the summer to keep the water level up and keeps the water real clear so I can watch the fish.
Thats also why my Piranha bream are so mean, they want some payback to the bass when they grow up.

Last post by barbender - Today at 12:28:06 PMAndries, blades like the WM 7/39 turbo that I prefer, don't do as well with metal strikes with their tall, pointed teeth as blades that have a shallower profile.
