Percy, to attach a document is different then pictures. Start a post, (you must have text in your post,  you cant just attach) then, just under where you type is a link that says >Additional Options...

Click that and it will reveal the attachment facility. Browse to your file and then select "open" the file address will then be in the input area. Then simply click the "post" button. the file will upload and be attached to your post.

This does not work on photo files. Only documents with extensions that I allow.  txt,doc,pdf,xls

Here's 2 that I use... (if I can get this to work) 
First is a log scale/bdft estimate.  One column is one of the standards (International, I think?), the other is closer to what I get out of a bandmill.

Second is a bdft calculator setup with $0.30/bdft calculator which can easily be changed.

Here is a good sheet that I use.

Here's one we use for beam quotes, you could also use it for dimension lumber.

The only thing different about this spread sheet is how I formatted the cells to include "/" and "bf" in the cells.

It makes it a little easier to read when cutting a beam order.

Is that MS Works file extension? I went ahead and added it. You should be able to upload now.

Here Goes.(Thx Jeff)
Just enter the amount of a particular board into the appropriate space and the board footage appears just below woth a grand total of all board feet at the bottom. I built this seveal years ago and it still works real good...for me anyways ;D

Hi Tony,
Dont you mean tree-mendously ??  :D  ::)  Sorry about that!  ;)
Now, for all us upsidedowners, is there any formula for estimating how many cubic metres of wood in a given log?
Or for that matter, the metric equivelent of what this thread has been about?
Cheers
Charlie.

   I sent the one to you in the past you had posted, I have now on my website http://www.twistedoaksawmill.com select the link called "Log Scale" its has all of them in one sheet.  You are welcome to take it and put in back on the forestry forum website.

GF

Forgot to mention that its an HTM page.
Jeff you may need to clean some of the code out of it.

I use a chart like this to total my board feet for the day. Let me know if this is useful.
