A Little Sawing in North Georgia

[Ga Mtn Man]

Here are some pics of a mobile job I did last week:


 
First log on loader arms ready to start a day of sawing. 8)  A beautiful winter day in N. GA, 32°F at 8 a.m. (I believe there was a blizzard happening up north that day ;))  These were pine and poplar logs, some were 36"+ DIB.



 
Sawing 1x6 SYP.  Got 90 boards from one of these logs.



 
Three cants ready to flip.  Hydraulics are a marvelous thing!



 
Customer/off-bearer/slave ;D struggling to keep up with the TK.



 
Three 6" cants and still a ton of side lumber to edge.  I hates edging >:(.



 
One worn-out customer.  I'm pretty sure he had no idea what he was in for.  They never do.   He was, however, very pleased with the almost 3000 bd-ft of lumber he ended up with.

Wow.....Good pics Paul! It looks like it all came together. 

Your customer sure looks "POOPED".  :D

Nice indeed! Perhaps I should look into a bandmill

Well done Paul. The dumb end of the mill is a LOT of work.

Now why would you want to stoop down to our level? smiley_clown

Nice whack of logs and lumber and also a nice trick you are doing with the cants.   ;D  I love that size sawjob.

...and also a nice trick you are doing with the cants.   ;D 

Thanks MM.  Some old-timer taught me that.  I think his name was Musicman ...er sumthin' like that anyway.

Nice pics. It looks like the customer's get up and go has got up and went.

Looks like a great job with a happy but tired customer.  Its good when everything clicks.

Don't work the off-bearer too hard, he is usually the one with your pay in his pocket!  :laugh:

Tom....I may put that on a sign and hang it near the mill.  :D :D :D

Man, those were some fine logs!

Man, those were some fine logs!

They were indeed.  A couple of them really pushed the limits of the 2000 size-wise.

That's good advise and perhaps a topic for another thread.  A newbie sawyer has so many questions...

[WDH]

You are not a newbie anymore  .

Paul,   Nice job, how far did you have to go?   How long did it take?   We have had some nice weather.

It was 70 miles one way.  I was there two days, but that includes some time spent moving additional logs (not shown in pics) with my logging arch.
