New Milling Superhero!!!!!!!!(well....sort of)

[Greg Brown]

Hello Everyone,

I am cutting some very nice loblolly pines for my new mancave project,...er..workshop expansion.
I started cutting a large (for me) log about 25 inches diameter.  I was really tired of the heat,
hauling logs, stacking, stickering ect. I went to turn the cant for the final squaring cut and I'd
about had it. I was too wore out.  I really needed someone to offer some assistance, a helping hand.



 


I called out for some HELP...PLEASE!!!

Then it happened. I heard a loud whooshing sound overhead.
Look, up in the sky.  It's a bird....no....it's a plane....it's....it's.....

It's LUMBERDOG!!!!!!!!



 

That's right folks.  Lumberdog, strange visitor from an alien planet.
Posing as Shadow, mild-mannered pooch belonging to my daughter,
Lumberdog can run off critters and varmints from the largest of slabpiles,
stack and sticker heavy boards and turn cants with a single paw.

Before I could bat an eye he was off to chase a squirrel away. So I went on with my
sawing.  Loaded 19 2x4s, 1 2x6, 1 1x10, and 3 1x6 on the tractor.


 

Lumberdog came running to the drying barn to help stack and sticker. So I went to get some water, when I got back all I see is


 

Well, I reckon Lumberdog will at least keep the critters and varmints run off from the slabpile.


Maybe???????

If you had been in Mississippi, I would have thought you were going to say it was the Magicman that swooped in!

Thanks for the laugh, Greg.  I actually "laughed out loud" at that one.  You tell a good story.  Nice spot for milling you've got there.

How big a log do you think he'd 'fetch' ???

How big a log do you think he'd 'fetch' ???

  I had a border collie years ago that loved to play fetch.  I finally tried throwing a 6 foot 2 x 4.  Since it laid flat, it was hard for him to pick up but no problem for him to carry.

  He laid it aside and brought a "stick" over to throw next.  I think it was a piece of firewood about 5 inch diameter by 2 foot.  He'd pick those up on a full out run and barely break stride.

Handsome pup you've got there.

Nice picture of your dog on the cant. My wife's dog loves to play in the sawdust. Kinda off a long hair dog and she will come back with sawdust on her face and my wife knows the dog has been with PaPa.
