My new client and Quarry update

[Magicman]

You certainly did the correct thing with that old house and I am sure that your worker will realize much value from the recovered lumber.  Well done Sir. 

[Jeff]

I love recycled building parts!!

[tule peak timber]

Well, so much for where I was going to hang my hammock

[nativewolf]

Right you are, seems a pattern here but let me ask; do you need my suggestions for spending your money and time, again?

[GRANITEstateMP]

Nativewolf,

 I think what you ment to say is: " shall we convene the design committee? ". That way its a group effort spending someone else's money!

[teakwood]

Well, so much for where I was going to hang my hammock

don't you worry, there is plenty of room left for you. we will make you a nice comfortable bed out of lumber packs   

[teakwood]

Nativewolf is spending my money since about 2 years, and let me tell you he wasn't wrong in several things 

[aigheadish]

Raymond (Ramon)- prepare to say no and it won't hurt my feelings one bit, but I'm going to ask you, at the meetup, if I can run your excavator... I have a backhoe, so I'm familiar with some of that part, but I'm considering renting an excavator when I finally get the funds together to fix up my pond.

[Old Greenhorn]

" Raymond (Ramon)- prepare to ..."
Everytime I see this I think about a clip that came into my head back at the last pig roast. I can't stand it any more so I have to post it..... Sorry.

If you work him hard enough he won't care about where he's sleeping.  He'll just collapse exhausted on the ground and you can cover him with a few teak leaves.  For goodness sakes don't baby him and give him a comfortable wooden bed.

Hard to go wrong with someone like you Ramon.   But I warn you I do have some ideas...

[barbender]

Ramon (Raymond), you are Swiss, if i understand correctly there are 4 languages/backgrounds represented in Switzerland? Are you Italian Swiss, with your given name being a Latin version?

[teakwood]

yes, there are 4 areas in Switzerland with 4 different languages, i'm from the biggest part, the german speaking part. Although we have different languages we are all Swiss, we are not happy when you confuse us with the Germans just because we speak German. same goes for the Austria people, just because they speak german, they still are Austrians

Oh, i plan to. He has lots of bats to hunt and coconuts to peal!

[nativewolf]

Get him to work on the new sawmill building.  Oh no, did I just spend your money?   Darn...my careless fingers

But now it is out of the bag, you are getting a hydraulic mill with setworks.  Darn, I spilled the beans too soon...more money.  

[GRANITEstateMP]

Ramon,

As a junior member of the design committee, I tasked myself with finding you economical plans for the new sawmill building that nativewolf was proposing.  I was able to procure a set of drawings fora Walmart distribution center that they built a town away about 15yrs ago.  It's only a few 1.2 million square feet, is that going to be big enough, or am I thinking to small scale?

[teakwood]

i barely finished the second lumber storage building and you guys are already planning a third one! 
need to fill up the second one first, and if sales pick up this year i won't need more room. all i need is more sales!

[teakwood]

it's kinda slow so we are doing maintenance, also importent . we go full improvising mode to reach every area

[aigheadish]

Nice work dude. Can't wait to see it! Like a month away! 

[teakwood]

yeah, time is running fast!

[Stephen1]

I like all the work being done before we get there. That way we can help design new structures to spend your money on. 

[teakwood]

I have several packs 1.5x 4" B quality for  floor of deck who doesn't sell. that's the lumber i bought from the neighbor company. TyG market is hot right now. so we did a resaw attachment for the mill, not ideal and still hard work and needs 2 persons, one pushing and the other pulling. it's pretty fast though, we can do 100 blanks per hour which gives me 200 boards tyg.

TyG will be 1/2x4"


 

[Resonator]

Nice, gets the job done!
They make industrial electric power feed rollers for table saws and molders, one of those could be added to feed stock. Another idea would be use an old treadmill as a conveyor belt to run the wood through, just have to be able to slow the speed down to get a good cut.

[barbender]

Looks like an Arky Resaw, Swiss style! Love it👍

[teakwood]

The weather is so bad, always cloudy rainy, we should be in dry season long ago, solar kiln isn't working good, it's just too cold and i have to dry a clients order.
so i had to go full MacGyver on the kiln, cut a hole in one side, lifting the morning temperature with a propane burner till the little sun takes over.
RobTulepeak told me that propane isn't ideal for that as it's a "wet" heat,    whatever that means!

it works but it isn't the cats meow

so i'm hoping for more sun
