Title: Sawing some Old logs I forgot about
Post by: 123maxbars on April 09, 2016, 05:44:15 AM
I found some nice Walnut logs in my log yard that I harvested a few years ago. They actually still turned out some nice lumber.  I am trying to saw up all my old timber that is on the ground to make way for new logs that I am cutting on a local farm.

I made a short video showing the day of my sawing them into lumber.

I have been doing the same thing. That is where the spalted Sycamore came from. I had several Red Oaks, Post Oaks, Ash and Walnut. They are all stacks of lumber now. Now to get to the 600 Cedar logs.

What I noticed is there is so much sawdust that the discharge tube is making a farrow.

Just makes me realize I need to get my mill started. But waiting for a new alternator.

Couldn't figure out why I couldn't seem to keep my battery charged. Turns out my alternator is a 61A when it's supposed to be a 105A.

I guess I figured out the problem.

Sawdust coming soon.
