Timber Framing/Log construction / Re: Small timber bent cabin de...
Last post by coryallenstaats - Today at 11:07:17 AMAll points well taken. Yes, we already have a structural PE who will be finalizing the design and providing a stamp. I'm trying to front load as much as I can to minimize the engineering hours. I like learning new things, so even if we go a completely different way it's not wasted time on my part.
I discussed changing the distance between bents with my wife and ultimately it's an aesthetic decision to use 5' oc bents. I'm going to model out more of the cabin and come back with some updates later on.
Thanks!

The Outdoor Board / Re: whippoorwill
Last post by WV Sawmiller - Today at 09:31:08 AM I used to hear them a lot in N. Fla where I grew up. I never saw one in the daytime to recognize it as such. The few times I saw them at night they were on the ground and their eyes looked like a rabbit except you'd see a pair of eyes and with a rabbit you'd never see but one red eye.

General Woodworking / Re: Threading wood to replace ...
Last post by Old Greenhorn - Today at 08:16:18 AMNice video Larry, short and to the point. Of course, it's not comprehensive, just more of an entry level study, and an eye opener for some.
One other aspect of this whole question for me is the TYPE of insert used. Those inserts in the video are more of a general purpose insert for several materials including wood. If I am not mistaken, they have a standard larger thread on the OD that can be tapped into other materials. Also note, if used in an application where the insert can be installed from the farside then that flange adds a lot to pull out strength. That's not often possible though.
The inserts I use, and RiteLeg sells have interrupted threads which cut deeper into and wood and they have no flange, so no countersink is required. I'd be very curious to see a comparison between insert types, that would be neat.
I also found the addition of CA glue helped with the cut threads and hurt with the inserts, that was odd.
Knowledge is power.

Last post by teakwood - Today at 08:01:16 AMPerfect logging, chainsaw guy in flip flops and shorts smoking a cigarette , who needs a felling cut, lol. If you bike stops at a incline just aim for the higher side of the trail to lay on!

Forestry and Logging / Re: Dirt bike logging?
Last post by B.C.C. Lapp - Today at 07:31:19 AMWhy? If they have logs to log, if the logs have value, then why don't they have logging equipment like loggers in other countries do?
Yes I understand they may not have the means. I get that they are doing the most they can with what they DO have. But what are they doing wrong, and obviously HAVE been doing wrong for some time, that they have no better way to log?

Sawmills and Milling / Re: Did something dumb today.
Last post by Nebraska - Today at 07:26:38 AMI put a boat squeeze bulb on mine, but it only has the diaphragm pump on the motor. It was mostly to speed things up when I run it out of fuel.
