That's what's great about the FF is that we are a diverse group. If it was all guys with sawmills and no other experience, we wouldn't get the help and inspiration that we do. We have lots of jacks of all trades, but we also have experts in certain fields. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting each and every one of you.

Ding ding ding, you guys have hit the nail on the head!!!

Tacotodd · August 12, 2021, 01:25:47 PM

How many you got? (southern dialect)

Crusarius · August 12, 2021, 01:43:28 PM

Is that a common sense hammer?

Old Greenhorn · August 12, 2021, 04:19:34 PM

It does not appear to be.

"Any tool is a hammer. Unless it's a screwdriver, then it's a chisel." ;D

Flat blades make good chisels, while philips make good leather punch awls IF you get them screaming (cherry red) hot, then they go right through. Don't lie, we've all done it. It's easier than setting up the drill or drill press to do it.

Thanks for all of the posts.

As a lifelong Stockman, I can't remember a time that I didn't have a leather punch around, but I do use red hot Awls or Ice Picks to burn holes in Nylon Halters and Dog Collars (Take them off the animal first!).
Swiss Army knives usually come with a small awl to bore holes in leather, also....

Well, and it's nobody's fault but mine (economics) but I've learned to make due with what I have. Dad taught me that!

Glad a good time was had by all in attendance.
Well, as I posted before, my grandsons graduation pig roast took precedence over the real PR in Michigan.
I did see some friends of my former son in law that I probably wont see again until my grand daughter gets hitched.
I would much rather have been there and although Ill be 85 pushing 86 next time unless I'm on the wrong side of the sod, Linda and I are planning to attend.

I've finally finished the pigroast video. Problem is, no way to upload it until I get back to Harrison. Tammy will come and get me to be home first of next week.

Old Greenhorn · August 18, 2021, 08:20:17 PM

That's just perfect. I hope to have this contract milling job done by then and be just ready to start a week of festival work. I should have time to watch, enjoy and comment on it. I am sure you took my schedule into consideration in your planning and I think you for that. :D :D :D ;D

Seriously, you get it done when you get it done. We appreciate the time you put into it. Really sorry I disappointed you with your request, but I am sure the final product did not suffer for it.

Jeff · August 18, 2021, 08:48:06 PM

If it had commercials, it'd be an hour long.

trimguy · August 18, 2021, 08:59:39 PM

We can wait. Enjoy your time at the cabin!

Haha, beat you to it OGH!

Jeff · August 24, 2021, 09:25:29 AM

The finished pigroast video is on its way to Harrison with 2 more completed videos. TAMMY DRIVES TOMORROW AND THE MULCHER IS COMING, SO SHE LEFT ME HERE! WOE IS ME!
BAHAHA!

Jeremy will upload them today from home, and then I can edit titles and descriptions from here. Should be published tonight. I !expect to make a lot of video today.

Magicman · August 24, 2021, 09:34:13 AM

I have a package scheduled for delivery today so I should also be able to make a contribution to this topic tonight.

Yup, She was the winner and she decided that I really NEEDED a.....

36" Mill Special. Now I will need to ask all of my LOGRITES to get together for a new group picture.

Thank You LOGRITE for your continued Forestry Forum Sponsorship and Support.

Great video Jeff and family as well as some contributors. That's a nice keep sake we can watch years down the road to remember a really nice day after a year and a half of nonsense.
Lynn, that's a nice hook. Lets us know how it fits in the stable. I have been thinking about one of those as the next one I get. It seems just the right size for a little flip.
