Great pics.... I'm also curious about the router lathe.

yes the building is on my land. most of the lumber i saw comes from blown over trees or ones that are just in the way. they come mainly from my fathers and grandfathers land. neighbors give me quite a bit as well. there is always a tree that someone wants out of the way. i get a few from the river. the floods bring me a new batch every year. there is currently a problem with trees shading our garden too much so this winter i am going to take down dozens from around the garden. I think there is no "trash wood". every species has a use. I will post some more pics of the router lathe prolly tomorrow some time. It spins the stock really slow while a router runs down the side taking off material. I saw it on craigslist and bought it for a steal. it wasnt working at the moment and came with everthing to get it running... on three phase... i dont have three phase so i converted everything over to run on single phase. There are still a few tweaks i would like to make to it, but overall i am really pleased with the final product. Thanks so much for all the welcomings!

Hey Jake I know where St. Paul is.  Lots of logging, sawmills, and the best canoe rivers in the whole USA start there. 8) 8) 8)  I live just down the mountain a bit, cross the creek in Nob Hill on Beaver Lake.
