Pineywoods turner

[HaroldSiefke]

I finally finished my pineywoods turner. Here is a few pictures I took of some of the things I made

  

  

  . Thanks again pineywoods. The new motor has a broken blower housing but they are sending me new parts to fix it.

you should add this to the original thread as well. I bet you know it by heart but here it is anyway.

BTW your work looks real good and I bet you will enjoy the hydraulic clamping and turning. I did.

I like the cylinder that allows you to adjust the claw angle to match the log size.  I havta use a rope.

Great job on that turner! Piney, if this keeps up, your turner might end up as a factory option on a new WM someday!

This is day one of the turner being operational, so we were still jerky with the levers. I have sense gotten much smoother and more efficent with it... I don't know how I managed without it now.

York, due to it's dual-purpose nature, there is a learning curve, easily learned. This is NOT a device where you just pull a lever and the log rolls over. You can in fact roll a log up the backstops, even roll a log over the top of the backstops. You can also scoot a log or cant back completely away from the backstops. Or throw a log off the loader side of the mill. Likewise, push a log up against the backstops. With a little practice, it is capable of doing most of the features of the woodmizer factory claw turner/ 2 plane clamp. See video in the previous post

Piney, You should change your handle to "The chiropractor" (if thats how you spell it  ;D) You have saved more backs than any doctor I know  8)

Theirs also a learning curve with a two plane clamp, turning logs and cants you have two handles to coordinate.Its soon learned and boath turners keep you safely away from the logs. Frank C.
