Boy, back in my day..

The board ends are adjustable to give up to six inches of variation in length. You put a one inch square piece of pine on the bottom between the"tuning forks". This piece has a piece of steel strapping on either end. Alternate layers of shingles, butt end out. Put another one inch square on top, then move the lever. This compresses the bundle allowing you to tack the pieces of strapping to the top piece of pine. I think it originally would have used wire around the bundle.

No, it's in my friend's barn. The mill is going in next to it soon.

Going in the narrow bay downstairs. Old pic, there's concrete in there now. It will be run off of a line shaft.

Peter,
Thank you for the explanation. We have to do a little different with most of small hardwood logs here. The middles of them don't make good enough lumber for framing or flooring so a lot of them get sawed into pallet stringers.

I really like to keep my logs coming in above 12'' as that is the bare minimum to make a 7x9 tie.

Went to the Fair sat. And look a mill just like mine. 8)



 

Dave, I could not talk the guy into selling this. :D :D


 

But he had a bunch of info for me and was a big help. Even gave me a ph# to have the blade set and sharpened just 10 miles away. 8) 8)
He was from Mass and was getting calls for shingles.
I know now I need 50 horses to run the thing, I'm on the look out. :D :D :D :D :D




I thought this was cool.


  

 
Ross was there running a 50
When I was at the WM tent Ross hit some steel in the log . He said he cut a bunch of logs with no Iron, I show up and he has nailes up the gazoo. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Mostly to be able to make shingles out of whatever the customer wants.
Just one more thing A&P Sawmill can help you with.

Think about it, With a sawmill and a shingle mill I guy can cut out a complete water tight building easily.

Good point...can't beat it.  So remember you were talking about getting a resaw, did the shingle mill replace that?  Was is the woodmizer resaw attachment you were looking at?
Boy, back in my day..

Peter Drouin

Well, 4x4 I have been thinking. The sawmill is nice I have the WM single attachment it works good but slow.
The resaw WM is a good one, but I bet slow.
I'm thinking a machine to do one job fast. Not try to have the LT40 do all the jobs.
The shingle mill at the fair was a lot faster then the WM shingle attachment.

Fast is the thing for a sawmill to make money. More so in the wholesale market.
I'm in the retail market, so I can go a little easer. :D :D :D :D :D :D

So that old clunky thing from way back in the day is still faster than todays methods huh...and it bet it was cheaper back then in todays dollars
Boy, back in my day..

Peter Drouin

A new shingle mill I bet is real fast. Like the resaw for pallets with one man someone had up was a nice mill. To cut pallet lumber on a WM I don't know never done it never will.

A little hemlock Wednesday.


  

 

So today with it being Thanksgiving and all . I helped Ann at 5 am to put the bird in the oven. Then off to a farmer friend of mine to get some cow pooo. We trade poo for Pine/ Hemlock saw dust..



  

  

  

  

He bought all the lumber for the barn from A&P Sawmill.  ;D
Got back and had another friend in the yard.  8)



  

  

 

And a customer for some sawdust.

Have some wood to scale :D


 

All I have now is inside work on the mill building to do



 
Let it snow. 8) 8) :snowball:

That must be the day he brought the cows home cause that is the cleanest barn I've seen, very nice!


Your yard looks great as usual, but, what gives, no snow yet??! lol lol




When you get hemlock in and you can see the heartwood is a much darker color, is that indicative of shake?

We have farmers here take good care of their cows, The barn gets mucked out every day.

No on the Hemlock, A little dark is ok. I have seen Hemlock with all white wood and have shake in it .
I like a darker hart on the Hemlock, Just the way it grows here.
