Forestry and Logging / Re: Maintaining the state park...
Last post by Machinebuilder - Today at 08:03:05 AMLivemusic
if you have a Milwaukee 18V Hacksall they make very good pruning blades for them.
I spent time this winter clearing out about 150' of brush and trees so my sunflower patch gets more sun.
I buy a bag of seeds sold for birdseed and hand spread it over about 1/3 acre.
I can sit in my barn watch my dogs run and when the sunflowers are ready there seems to be thousands of yellow and black chickidees.

Drying and Processing / Re: Siding on 24” spaced stick...
Last post by YellowHammer - Today at 07:44:30 AMYes, the issue with thin wood and wide sticker spacing is that it may "kink" while drying.

Last post by thecfarm - Today at 07:43:32 AMLooks like only 3 days in the next 10 days will be below 60. Warming up.
Nothing below freezing either, most mornings are just about 40 or above for the next 10 days.
Another sunny day here!!!

Last post by Ianab - Today at 07:36:47 AMIf the wood is nice straight grain you will probably get away with it But generally the thinner the wood, the closer you want your sticks.

Drying and Processing / Re: Siding on 24” spaced stick...
Last post by doc henderson - Today at 06:19:53 AMfor half inch, I might do 12-inch sticker spacing. for 1/4 to 5/16, it is 8 inches. might depend on species and grain. or put it up green allow for an inch of shrinkage per 16-inch-wide board.

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Ride along chair for 2016 ...
Last post by Peter Drouin - Today at 06:12:54 AMI was going to post a pix of my HOT ROD chair and can't get the pix in my post 
I think I got a brain cramp.
But a chair is the only mill I would have. You can see the grade in the log, make a bunch of cuts, and pull them all back with your hand on top to guide it all back. same with edging. stang up 6 or 8 boards, make a cut, put your hand on them and guide it all back.
