The clamps hold everything in place.

I like that clamp on the stickers that's good stinkin. Once you're done do you just pick up the toeboards and pluck it off with the forks?

I tie a string around the bundle on each end...then pick it up with the forks.

An X-ray to determine tree disease. This is a healthy slab.

I Had a customer bring in 2 chunks of wood this morning claiming he was gonna test the new wide head. :D
Well the wide head is now paying off! I love it! Can saw jobs now i once could not.
Using a Turbo 7 we first loaded the white oak. It was 5-5 inches long.

he produced some very nice, flat, smooth slabs.

Then we loaded the Cherry Chunk. It was 33" at the widest point and 4' - 7 " long.

The Cherry also produced some nice 33 inch live edge slabs. The Turbo 7 slabbed it like butter.

the only bad part is when i got to the center of the crotch....a DanG rock!
A Turbo 7 will NOT saw a rock. :D

But we got'em sawed and loaded. Good morning!

The Cherry was a BIG CHUNK.....took a little bit to get it positioned right.

You did good with both of them.

I'm just trying to decide whether I still like you or not. Jealousy is green. :

Southside · February 19, 2018, 11:06:07 PM

And all the sawyers say the Turbo 7 is pretty fly for the goat guy!!!

A rock??

From some little boy throwing rocks at a squirrel?

Magicman · February 20, 2018, 08:11:22 AM

Yup, I have found rocks in the exact same spot.

And they do not have to be very large to kill a blade. This one was about ½".

terrifictimbersllc · February 20, 2018, 08:15:19 AM

Can see that they're pretty flat. Did you put a straightedge across any of them?

redneckman · February 20, 2018, 09:02:01 AM

My neighbor has an old meadows circular mill. Once, he was sawing into a big walnut log. As he was goign through it, he heard the blade hit something and at the same time felt the wind off something as it flew by his head. He found parts of it in a clay bank behind his mill. It was a porcelain fence insulator that the bark covered just enogh that he did not see it. From that point on, he sawed standing behind a truck mudflap, and just stuck his head out a little to see.

Sawing tress is like playing golf too me....I never know what I am going to hit.

We eye balled it and it was perfect.

If it feels flat and looks flat, it is flat. With a straight edge, you might find something you don't want to know. :D

Nice stuff, looks like you're having fun with the new mill.

POSTON WIDEHEAD · February 20, 2018, 07:04:44 PM

My plan is coming about, now that my customers know I have a Wide Head.
The weather is now warmer and logs I used to not be able to saw are coming in.

Today it was an old Sycamore....bone dry slabbed in to bench slabs.
