Whatcha NOT Sawin' ???

terrifictimbersllc · May 22, 2015, 11:21:21 AM

I have something to get off my chest. I wasn't sawing much in the last week or so. In fact not at all for a while. But I did use some lumber.

And I did use my tape measure.

And I got my Logrite dirty tending the camp fire.

Promising to try to be better now. To try to make up for things here is 2600 bf pine from yesterday.

They say that even an honest man will tell a lie about the size of his fish and the BF that he sawed today, but you provided pics for proof. Good work! Regards, Clark

Nice fish!
I'm not sure I would use my cant hook as a fire poker though! :D

I like the looks of that Brookie!

Haven't seen one that big in years, congrats!

Nice fish! 8). Wonder how a hookaroon would work as a gaff

Sealark,

I didn't know it was lying when fish were involved. I thought it was mandatory to "embellish" a little.

TT,

Congrats on the fish. Looks like you had earned the break.

I'd be braggin about that brookie too!

Cedarman · May 23, 2015, 07:50:16 AM

I hear you can photoshop tape measures.

Nice fish!!!

barbender · May 23, 2015, 08:16:59 AM

That is some brookie!

dgdrls · May 24, 2015, 08:41:48 AM

Everything, no time to saw this year thus far, (No logs or calls either)
Close to having sold-off all my inventory.
Between work and family (kids home from college,
planning a new home). I'm flat out with no saw dust in the near future.
Still glad to be able to visit here

Best DGDrls

I would have to say that is the perfect use of lumber! :laugh:

FarmingSawyer · May 25, 2015, 06:49:58 PM

Not sawin my edging pile....or catching fish either. Too busy chasing the right boards to fill orders....

Weekend_Sawyer · May 01, 2018, 10:03:56 AM

I'm not sawing using my bandsawmill.
There's nothing wrong with it I'm just having fun making wide thick slabs on my chainsawmill!

WLC · May 01, 2018, 01:16:22 PM

If I could catch Brook Trout like that I wouldn't want to sawmill either. Haven't seen one that big in years and years. NICE!!!!

Jon you had better put your grand paws goggles on while running that thing.

terrifictimbersllc · May 01, 2018, 08:51:35 PM

I'll be fishing this weekend again!

Southside · May 01, 2018, 09:59:05 PM

Where do you go? Nice land lock by the way in the earlier photo.

PAmizerman · May 01, 2018, 11:01:28 PM

Terrific
Just curious how many hours you put in to get 2600 ft? Did you have a helper? Do you run an edger? What dimensions of lumber?
Just curious because I have the same exact mill as you and busted my but the other day to get 1200 feet done in 8 hours
What can I do better?

Just Right · May 18, 2018, 08:37:08 AM

When all else fails . . . . .fishing cures all!!!!!! 35 lb Amber Jack out of Mexico Beach FL last weekend. And you are right. . . . . when fish are involved . . . . .a lil' embelishment is expected!

petefrom bearswamp · May 18, 2018, 09:05:50 AM

PAmizerman, I have often wondered about the volumes some of the guys report here too.
If I get 1500 or so of 4/4 in a long (7hr) day for me with a tail man I am doing extremely well.
I dont consider myself either inefficient or lazy.
to get the high volumes I would have to go at a dead run and have everything go perfectly.
One of these days I am going to try an efficiency study on my obviously poor sawing performance.
I must include though that when sawing Hemlock, getting around the shake takes up considerable time, and a lot of kindling and stickers are made.

WDH · May 18, 2018, 08:25:06 PM

Fish Fry!

YellowHammer · May 18, 2018, 11:44:57 PM

Nice! I've fished Mexico beach, great fishing and scalloping. The beach run into the little inlet is fun, too.

Just Right · May 19, 2018, 12:46:06 AM

YH I've been fishing there for about 15 years. Got a great guy I go with. Always a great time. We haven't done the scalloping thing though. Always go out for the fishies. Years ago when you could get a boat load at a time we would bring in 300 lbs of everything. Now the seasons have changed all of that and its almost a boat ride and time to drink beer with the boys. Either way. . . . . it ain't working!

Pix above several years ago now from Mooselookmeguntic lake near Rangely Maine, we stay at the Cupsuptic Lake campground.
My May 1 2018 comment was referring to going to the Farmington River, CT, near Pleasant Valley, we stay at pretty nice little cabins in the American Legion state forest just above there.
