Sawmills and Milling / Re: Ride along chair for 2016 ...
Last post by Peter Drouin - Today at 06:12:54 AMI was going to post a pix of my HOT ROD chair and can't get the pix in my post 
I think I got a brain cramp.
But a chair is the only mill I would have. You can see the grade in the log, make a bunch of cuts, and pull them all back with your hand on top to guide it all back. same with edging. stang up 6 or 8 boards, make a cut, put your hand on them and guide it all back.

General Board / Re: The weather 2024
Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 05:11:02 AMYeah, dries out fast on these farmed ridges up here. But it's not that dry in the woods, I see water pools still around for the froggies. The forest roads here are still on the wet side. Where I am working I'm on an old road that is wet and one could easily get stuck if you went too far to the side. Not much for water forecast this week. Just a couple of days ago the forecast was rain and showers for Tuesday to Saturday. Now just partial sunshine. That's fine, I'm going to be putting plywood on the shop ceiling this week. I cut those 8 footers in two to get them up there. One could do it easier with todays gadgetry, but by the time you hunt one down for a small job like this 20x24 ceiling, the job would be done and no extra money spent on convenience. Going to use a T shaped helping hands out of 2x4". Tough and stubbornness.

The Outdoor Board / Re: BIRDS
Last post by SwampDonkey - Today at 04:54:47 AMNo hummers here yet, no flowers and cold. And have not heard any white throated sparrows yet. Those sparrows will probably be here this coming week. The old people called them 'sweet whether birds' and were often confused for black capped chickadee songs.
Bluebirds have been defending their nest box against tree swallow invasions, but there is another box that they have settled on. There's probably 6 tree swallows around the box.

Chainsaws / Re: Pro Mac 610 Start/Stop Swi...
Last post by hms79 - Today at 03:35:03 AMSorry for my delayed response, work was a disaster yesterday. I didn't get all the way down to see if the wire was still connected to the coil, or really inspect the switch that much, I was more involved in the carburetor at the moment. I remember it was working when I was using the saw last, but that was sometime a couple years ago, as I had been using a lighter, easier to start saw.
