8) Ifins they load that easy, you don't need no stinkin hydraulics. 8)

Of course, I say that while using hydraulics.

The slab pile is way bigger than the lumber. Lots of dry rot.

Looks like a great day in the woods. I'm jealous, as I sit in the office wishing my life away, lol.
I also saw a lot of poor wood that I haul out. At 50+ yrs, I have realized that my good wood is declining and as it dies and falls, that is when I haul it out to saw. :-\
Thanks for sharing your time with us.

This mornings work before getting rained out just now. Its settled in for the day so I guess I can go back to the cabin, take a ed solo cup shower, sit down and probably not be able to move the rest of the day. :D

You got one of those critters hanging in the shed tonight Jeff?

POSTON WIDEHEAD · October 21, 2018, 08:42:17 PM

Of course I've herd of deer. Good pic Jeff. Looks like you were close.

Jeff · October 22, 2018, 03:15:40 PM

Got the cedar all sawn. Happy happy.

No bucks spotted yet.

Dave Shepard · October 22, 2018, 04:50:19 PM

Looks like the mill is cutting well. Did you get any of that tamarack sawdust between your fingers? :-\

Jeff · October 22, 2018, 05:55:05 PM

I dont understand. Color me dense. ;)

I may try and get some more useable lumber out of the tamarack if tammy let's me stay a few more days.

Dave Shepard · October 22, 2018, 06:27:08 PM

Any time I've sawn tamarack I've gotten nasty fine sawdust splinters between my fingers.

Jeff · October 22, 2018, 06:49:08 PM

I think I've avoided it because this is all a bit punky on the outside.

WDH · October 22, 2018, 08:03:35 PM

Did you have any fried fish?

Jeff · October 22, 2018, 08:06:47 PM

Of course! Lake Perch.

WDH · October 22, 2018, 08:08:04 PM

I figured as much

. I am jealous.

DPatton · October 22, 2018, 08:21:02 PM

How's that new power plant working on the Woodmizer Jeff?

Jeff · October 22, 2018, 08:29:42 PM

Running good. Don't miss the onan even a little bit.

DPatton · October 22, 2018, 08:34:48 PM

Good for you. Glad you are able to get some good use outta that machine again. What kind of project you got in mind for those cedar cants your sawing?

PA_Walnut · October 23, 2018, 06:02:03 AM

Looks like lots of PEACE!! Good place to setup camp for a month! 8)

thecfarm · October 23, 2018, 06:08:22 AM

Sawing and seeing deer. What a life!!

Jeff · October 23, 2018, 07:57:28 AM

No real plans on the cedar. The logs just needed to be sawn and not spend another u.p. winter on the ground. I'll haul them home and find a use for them.

Jeff · October 23, 2018, 12:41:24 PM

I'm glad I learned my lesson earlier this year and always disengage the saw now when crossing behind it, which is every cut up here this happened after reengaging and starting towards the cut, not even to it. I'm still using bands that came with the mill.

Darrel · October 23, 2018, 05:27:57 PM

I always tell people, customers or whoever else, to stay away from that side of the mill and I show them pictures like these so they understand why. Being in the blades way could ruin your day.

I've experienced that too.Happens enough that its more than a coincidence....My Ukrainian engineering skills tells be the blade gets a workout when spooling up to speed. ;D
