Whatcha Sawin' 2020 ??

[Dakota]

@EOTE, I really like your drying house.  What are your plans for it when you've used up all the dried wood in it ?

[Peter Drouin]

 



Started at 8° today at 7 am Did some stuff when it got to 14° I fired up the WM 
Had an order of 6"x6"x3' a 100 or so. all R OAK.
All the side lumber turned into grade stakes 4' and 6'


 


 
Have 300 2x2x5' fence post to get out too.


 
And to make it all fun the CAT trans is making steel filing in the hidro oil.
So bad it has to go back to cat for a new trans. What do you think that will cost? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


 
All in all a good day at A&P Saw Mill. Can't wait till spring to run the hot rod.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Will pass anything but a gaspump.  :D :D ;D ;)

I finished my first of the year sawing job this afternoon with a surprise when I calculated the bf.


 
The customer skidding the last Cypress logs to the sawmill.


 
My Tailgunners.  Two very hard working students.  Notice the thumbs up!


 
A twelve foot 12"x22" cant ready for the saw through and I was reminded that I also needed to give the thumbs up.  The customer counted 120 growth rings on that Cypress.  26° this morning which froze the moist sawdust inside of the sawdust chute and promptly clogged it. 


 
All of the Cypress stickered.


 
All of the Red Oak stickered.  All of the lumber will soon be trailered to the customer's home ~75 miles away.


 
And then he skidded this White Oak log up to be sawed.  The heart was solid and made some amazing 1¼"X 12"'s.

OK, the surprise on the bf count?  2020.76bf sawed on my first job in year 2020. 

[Southside]

Are you serious about the .76 too?

[Magicman]

Magicman, what blades do you use on your WM ?

Wood-Mizer Turbo 7°.

Yup Southside, there was a .76 but I don't do decimals nor cents when calculating bf and invoices.  :

Peter,
Sorry to hear about the trans on the Cat
That might hurt the wallet

[Southside]

I wasn't so much thinking about the billing, but the age coincidence there too. 

[Magicman]

Wow, that one blew over my head !!    That is so much coincidence that "no more sawing for me this week". 

Actually I should be much better by morning because PatD had Eggs, Grits, Bacon, Toast, and Jelly fixed for me when I got home.     That woman knows that she loves her man!

@EOTE, I really like your drying house.  What are your plans for it when you've used up all the dried wood in it ?

My long term plans for the drying house is to close off the south end (roughly 10' x 20') to use as storage for all my hardwoods - for projects etc...  The North end will continue to be a drying house and I may store a couple of my trailers in it when it is empty.

I know It will not help will all the Kilns going in. I'm using John to move things around. He can't pick up what the cat can.
Sucks.


Magicman you should buy a lottery ticket. :D :D

[WDH]

I may store a couple of my trailers in it when it is empty.

Empty?  Good luck with that ;D.

Empty?  Good luck with that ;D.

An empty shed is a pretty rare thing.  Don't think I've ever seen such a thing.  :D

[busenitzcww]

Not milling per say but I was sawing! Tree service guy called me and said he didn't know what to do with this one but didn't want to take it to the landfill! Got several good sized burls off it 8) 

661 w/ 36" bar for size

Nice!

At first thought that first pic was a Kansas forest from 20000 ft.  :new_year:

[doc henderson]

they tend to be in a line, since they follow the creeks or along the roads as windbreaks.

I have a shed that I built with the help of my son and I've never seen it empty. It had stuff in it before the roof was on. 

[trimguy]

Empty shed?? Hhhmm, I thought they were never big enough. ;D ;D

[EOTE]

Empty shed?? Hhhmm, I thought they were never big enough. ;D ;D

That was kind of a dumb answer I gave, come to think of it.  I guess I'll start planning an "equipment" shed for my implements and trailers.

[WDH]

That makes more sense :D. 

[tule peak timber]

Coastal live oak today, complete with nails.....

 

 

 

[stihlsawer]

[Raym]

[doc henderson]

cut a few ERC logs for a COO at the local clinic.  he wants to make cheese boards, so live edge and 1.5 inches thick.  he liked my crane that I lifted the logs from the back of His truck and put one on the mill.



 



 



 



 

his wife's plan is to make 20 or so for next thanksgiving.  we got 8 nice live edge 1.5" thick pieces 8 feet long.
did not photo the wood, but nicely framed heartwood, sapwood and bark.
