A day cutting wood

[thecfarm]

Well I see ya got a tool in his hand but no evidence of any work since there isnt a log anywhere in that picture?

Well geez Paul,they sawed all the logs and stickered the lumber and than put it away behind them.

[paul case]

I guess he did all the work you could expect from a inspector.

How you know we didn't roll all the logs out of the camera's focus with them pv's. lol

[Peter Drouin]

See you made it home ok.   

[4x4American]

Yes sir.  My trip meter said 10 hrs, 450ish miles and 14.7 mpg.  I got better fuel mileage on the 70mph speed limit highways.  Did you see my earlier post?

[Magicman]

Sounds like a very successful trip, plus the meeting was icing on the cake.   8)

4X4American,
I like your truck!

[redprospector]

One thing I've learned about Construction is that what you call any particular component depends so where you're standing on this globe, and what you're building.

Kinda like common names for trees.

Yep, exactly!

4X4American,
I like your truck!

Sell it to ya!  lol ain't mine yet...


They did a pretty good job with it I'd say.  The CM bed sho ams purdy

[Bruno of NH]

You guys had a party and didn't invite me :(

[Peter Drouin]

No party today, Hydro pump on the Morbark.

Not supposed to be in two pieces.  :

Tapered lock not sure how it comes apart,

[paul case]

We had one like that on a hay baler. You had to screw bolts down in 2 holes and it pushes it off or was it one?

Did any of them have set screws in them?

Thanks guys,
I'm off to get a new one. Without the chipper, things will get plugged up. ;D

[jimdad07]

Great work, just read through it.  Making me want a WM, but I'll stick with my Hudson.  A more automated mill would be a hard sell at home.

[paul case]

At home was the easiest place to get support for a new mill for me. 3 times.

They had to help me or listen to me gripe about the old so they were all for it.

Has two. I will do as the video.
Have a new one coming Tusday $ 225.00 ship to me, UPS
Did not have time today to pull the pulley apart, with customers, sawing and getting logs moved around, made room for him to unload.
Hemlock, mostly 16's some 12's


  

 

Now to get it all scaled before Fridays rain. If I had a long bird house Like Mr Case, I could do it all inside.
;D

[Darrel]

If you do it as in the video, you can't be usin' any set screws, you have to use grub screws.  :D

Lots of nice logs you got there.

[paul case]

I meant Grub screws, I only called them set screws to see if you would listen to what I mean instead of what I typed. :-\ sorry about that!

I have thought that if my saw shed was only 20' tall them picker trucks could just unload inside :D :D :D :D

I would be thrilled to see a load of logs come in as we sawed out of oak logs today. I think we may have some come in Monday afternoon. The rain we got last Saturday amounted to 8'' and Tuesday night we got another 2'' so getting anything out of the woods is going to be slow and sloppy.

PC

[Peter Drouin]

Could you not take 20' at a time and lift the roof and walls together and add 10' to the bottom.

[paul case]

I have seen that done by high winds before but it all came down at once in a big pile cause there wasnt anyone there to put the extra poles under it. :D :D :D :D ;D

I am like you i have to scale them before I pile them up, so unloading inside would only work if I scaled them before they got hauled here. Most of my logs come from within 20 miles. Some of them I have to buy on the landing so the landowner gets his money before the logs leave. Some of those I haul myself on the gooseneck and some I hire done, it just depends on the situation.

I think if you did build a building ''big enough'' to unload under, someone would come up with another loader that got 2'' too tall to use inside.
PC

[Peter Drouin]

2" too tall would be my luck.
My problem now is room, two more loads. : :D


  

  

 
Some 26' for an order.


  

 

[sandsawmill14]

show off :   just kidding looks like you will be busy for a while

[longtime lurker]

I'm always jealous of the yard pictures... trucks rolling in loaded with logs. Around here the only way to make that happen is do it ourselves. It sure would be nice to just pick up the phone and say "send me". Sad part about being the last mill left standing locally is that when the mills went the contractors went with them.
