Last post by Magicman - Today at 07:32:46 PMGerald, the black wire from the pump is getting to the frame somewhere; whether as I described above, or as it passes thru the main control box, or inside the LubeMizer box. It's looking for ground for the pump motor to run.

Last post by Magicman - Today at 07:23:01 PMI reduced my blade inventory again today, yup an eye screw. 4 blades lost so far on this job. This is some of the 9200+bf that I have sawn on this job. Only two logs left that we will finish sawing Thursday morning. Mostly 2X6 & 2X8 framing lumber for a new home for the customer.

Last post by Magicman - Today at 07:13:24 PMThis is a LINK to probably the largest total Cherry job that I have sawn, 2609bf.
I believe that this 31" butt Cherry is the largest that I have sawn.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Prentice TMS-1?
Last post by Don P - Today at 07:10:19 PMI need to take our valve body up to Bluefield for a rebuild. From that era it probably has a Parker Gresen 25P valve bank which is out of support. I haven't looked recently but a grand to replace with new rings a bell from a few years ago.

Last post by Don P - Today at 07:00:52 PMStuff I'm thinking about
I'm always willing to learn, show me how to brace a 13' wide pier foundation when design wind load hits the 60' wall and roof. What is the bearing capacity of the pier on your soil vs the design load per post.
A couple of Ben Brungaber's powerpoints online show a scissor truss they did, the do's and don'ts, which you seems to be fine on at a glance. Anyway worth looking up if you haven't seen it. I've looked at the first day cabins and there is a lot to be said for the concept. I have done built up trusses and as long as ebveryone is on board I like them. Dimensional design values and repetitive member increases on top of that... and the wood is dry, triple win.

Last post by SawyerTed - Today at 06:52:49 PMUm, I'm thankful my radiology skills are limited. That way I'm not sure of what I'm looking at!
I don't wanna know. Doc, your post makes it sound bad!
