Shows, Events and Places to meet / Re: International Firewood exp...
Last post by B.C.C. Lapp - Today at 09:13:53 PMWell, I did drive over into Ohio last Saturday and attended this firewood expo. It turned out to be 45 miles from my place. I had a great time. I watched some awesome processors in action, look all the splitters over and ran three of them. Checked out the conveyors and wrappers and bagger's, oh my. And I learned quite a bit. Not only for what I may want, but what I'm now sure I do not want. I met some nice people, watched several aahh, content creators as barbenders taught me they are called 
make their videos and Ive been informed that I show up in three of those videos so far. I saw one of them and said hey that's me.
I had a great burger for lunch, saw some folks from my area Ive known 30 years and Ill go back next year for sure if they have it. But like I said, I really learned what is NOT worth the money to me, and what looks like a better fit for the volume, time and cash I have.

Last post by thecfarm - Today at 08:57:26 PMTomatoe plants, once they get some size to them, should do fine.
Unless they get some disease after they are planted.
In fact, the way the growing season has been here for the last 10 years, I almost could plant some in mid July for a late crop.
We had a greenhouse for 3 years, selling seedlings and flowers. A customer wanted the best tasting tomato. I directed to one of the heirlooms one. But told him they would not look like a store bought one.
He wanted nothing to do with that.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Horizontal slab shaver.
Last post by barbender - Today at 07:33:08 PM It should be doable, but is there anything like that available is the question? Just a planer head bottom mounted with power feed should grind slabs up.
I've never watched a shavings mill in action, but the way they've been described is the log just sits in the box that feeds back and forth across a cutter head that is similar to a planer head.

Last post by Otis1 - Today at 07:28:11 PMI'm from the frozen north so I can only agree with the previous replies after looking up scarlet oak. But I wanted to mention that Virginia Tech has a pretty good tree ID app called Vtree. It will find your location and give you the common tree species with pics of the leaves, bark, fruit, buds, twigs, etc.

Forestry and Logging / Re: How much Face Cut Angle Ca...
Last post by Nealm66 - Today at 07:18:10 PMSorry if I come across rough but just want to make sure this is made aware. Coming in lower or higher on one side or the other on the back cut can create a difference in pull of the hinge wood. Below the undercut will usually create more pull/strength. Above doesn't seem to change much from even but can create a lip for pushing through other trees so the butt doesn't slip off and come backwards. Definitely necessary if your topping through other trees.
