General Board / Re: Having to Buy Tires.
Last post by SawyerTed - Today at 12:37:58 PMLynn it happens, just like my initial thought that you read it as pre-heat. Me and my fat head...
Pretreating with brine keeps ice and snow from accumulating early on in a snow or ice event. It's common in places where small accumulation is expected.
Most times dries pretty quickly here. I'm sure other places where people have to drive in the brine /melt water it's hades on vehicles.

Forestry and Logging / Re: Humboldt vs. Conventional
Last post by WhitePineJunky - Today at 12:33:59 PMQuote from: quilbilly on Today at 12:20:50 PMOne of the differences I think is on a conventional cut for a veneer log y'all have an extremely shallow face, so the face doesn't enter into the "cylinder" of the other end and doesn't count as deduct.95% of I got have taper definitely not super great quality, but since that is, knowing you'll only get out of the log the size of the smallest end, the material the notch took would have mostly been wasted material anyway
Our red alder will typically split and pull with such a shallow face so we go as deep as we can many times. In looking at cuts on the what are you cutting page, we often just go deeper so the hinge is much closer to the middle of the tree and not so close to the outside.

Last post by doc henderson - Today at 12:21:30 PMThanks, Skeans. You have been a great FF friend and put up with a slightly more than hobby logger from Kansas. that makes sense.
Nealm, I do not think you are coming off bad. you may occ. hear my ED humor come through and I occasionally offend a few. My thought is you can talk it over with your peers (using known to you language), and the rest of us learn nothing. Part of this forum is to help those of us without the experience and no mentors to learn from. thanks for the additional explanation, Gents (no offense intended).

Last post by Magicman - Today at 12:19:15 PMYup Ted I fumble/fat fingered my typing but I still have the jump start question. ?? I know nothing about glacier activities.
If/when we have ice/snow here, I stay at home.

Last post by Magicman - Today at 12:04:53 PMI have looked at Howard's artistic designs quite closely and I doubt that there is another level.

General Woodworking / Re: A tree with a story
Last post by Larry - Today at 12:04:32 PMMy stools do resemble Wharton Esherick's stools.
Wharton Esherick cherry stool
One aspect of the design is the three stretchers at different heights. When used as footrests they can fit folks with short legs or long legs. Makes them more versatile.
Biggest difference is Wharton's stools sell for 30 times more $$$$$'s than my stools for some reason. Maybe the price will go up after I die.
I developed a method to drill and taper ream the leg mortise through the seat on my wood lathe. When I finish that operation I try to do as much shaping as possible on the lathe. After that I refine the shape with hand tools, mostly the draw knife. If I'm in a hurry and have lots of wood to waste I might use a right angle grinder with a Holey Galahad disk.
All of the parts are 90% finished before glue up. After glue up I have to get rid of the nubs of the legs and stretchers where they come through the mortise. A little finish sanding and than apply a hand rubbed oil finish.

Last post by olcowhand - Today at 12:00:39 PMGood idea, Res. I'll try to find another Artist. Oh wait, did you mean me? I don't think anyone has ever accused me of being one of those before.....
