Monday Sawing

[Kevin_H.]

Uh Oh  

[Jeff]

i think its a little swollen.

[Tom]

Jeff,
Are you bent on self destruction?

[Jeff]

i probably shouldget itlooked at butwe are in the middle of a snow storm. roads are horrible. I got hit with a hammer trying to drive links together on a paddle conveyor chain. it hit between my finger and thumb, and i dont think bone is involved. itsure do hurt though

[Tom]

If it's bruised from a hammer, cold is the best thing to stop the internal bleeding and fight the inflammation.  You're living in the right spot.  Stick your hand in a snow bank ;D

It won't hurt so much latter if you get it cooled early enough.

[BW_Williams]

YEOUCH!!!!  I.C.E. = ice, compression and elevation and get that thing looked when they get the roads clear.  BWW (disclaimer, I'm not a doctor, but the I am on a first name basis with the ER! :D)

[Jeff]

you want me to go out there?

view from fron window. lump is jeremys car.

[Tom]

I'm no Doctor and didn't play one on TV but I did stay in that fancy hotel one time. :D

What lump, Jeff.  You mean that sand dune out the window there?  What beach is that?  ???

[OneWithWood]

Ouch! Now my hand hurts. . .

Definately do the R.I.C.E. thing and keep it elevated above your heart.  Will help the swelling go down.  When the black and blue marks go away it will stop hurting.  Trust me on this.

Sure hope that isn't the hand you use to play checkers.

[Kevin_H.]

So....who was swinging the hammer? cause I'm thinking payback is in order ;D

[WV_hillbilly]

  OUCH  !!  

   That wasn ' t your checker playing hand was it  ?  

[Jeff]

paybacks are hell. specially in this case.  i was swinging the hammer. :-/  you woudl ta had ta been there.  :-/

it aint broke but i'm afraid its goona float away.

[Kevin_H.]

Didja make up any new words?  

I have come up with some interesting phrases in the past...ya should'a been in the woodshop the day my brother shot me in the keester with the brad nailer... :-[

Well keep it on ice and elevated.

[Norm]

boy that looks sore, lots of ibuprofen and have Tammy give you a back rub.

Won't help the hand but you'll feel better. ;)

Well Monday was a 56 degree day and I cut for 5 hrs in the afternoon and managed to bang out about 1200 bf of mostly 2x8 material of which the pile on the far left and far right are 21 footers 8) 8). 



That old trailer I got at the auction with the LT30 sure has come in handy.  I parked it just behind my mill and would make one pass leaving the board on the cant and while the second pass is being made I would off bear the first board onto the trailer.  The height was perfect and I hardly had to lift anything.  Good thing too.  The left piles was all cottonwood and you could see the moisture rise in the wood as you cut.

I parked it just behind my mill and would make one pass leaving the board on the cant and while the second pass is being made I would off bear the first board onto the trailer.

That's the only way I saw when cutting construction lumber, or once I get the FAS off when cutting grade lumber.  Run WOT and no clutching even on the gig back.  Wish my up was a lot faster.

[getoverit]

thats a pretty stack of lumber Kirk !

1200 bf in 5 hours is definitely a busy day!

[Kirk_Allen]

The key to days like that are big and long logs. One of the cottonwoods scaled out at over 625 bf. Now I know I couldnt do that day in and day out but boy it was fun to get to rockin in January while working in a T-shirt 8) 8)   

SNOW today and its COLD :(

[breederman]

We did some Monday evening sawing today.  Our local sawyer was going to saw for my neighbor and I tuesday but he came and set up after I got home from work today and we sawed about 200 feet of oak and hemlock, and maybe 100 feet of pine.  tomorrow we have 5-600 feet of pine and maybe 200 feet of poplar. Should be done by lunch!   We start at 7:00 if anybody wants to help me tail. :D
The pine is going to be a ceiling in my basement and the poplar is  going to be paneling in the neighbor's cabin.

[breederman]

  We ended up with a little over 1500 bd. ft.  the temp.got up around 70 degrees today and that woodmizer kicked this boys butt. Some of  the logs were pretty ugly and made for some heavy slabs.  The popple is almost as heavy as oak when fresh. Now the easy part, waiting for it to dry!
