OHBucknut, I hit a log support the first time I ran the mill. I cut halfway then it before I realized. Luckily it was just at the very end. Just kissing the thing probably ok. Cutting halfway thru, probably fatal to the blade.
I just read your info on your profile page. Be careful milking Lumber. You can get splinters.

at least I got it outta the way early

Trust me you didn't - it keeps coming back when you least expect it!! There are two types of sawyers, those who try to saw off a piece of their mill, and those who LIE about not doing so...

Firefighter

Thanks for the heads up on the splinters. I since quit milking and started milling. Lol

Two dumb things today. One was totally not my fault. Somebody ran into the back of my truck while I was stopped behind someone turning left. Luckily the damage is minor, but still an inconvenience.

The second could have prevented by me. I was picking up some big black oak logs that someone was giving me. He was loading the first onto my trailer with a skidder with forks. Put the log on trsiler and it rolled right across and off other side. It put a good dent in my trailer fender on the way down. I should have thought to lay something down to prevent it from rolling. On the plus side, I got some great logs. I think I will q saw at least a few of them.

My trailer fenders looks like pianos fell on them. Multiple pianos

I have performed this act twice. The most embarrassing thing it was the same customer about two years apart. While cutting the first slab off; find my first cut hight, engage blade, turn on debarker, engage debarker with the wood as I start through the cut. As I am coming out the other end, move debarker out, switch off the debarker, switch of the auto clutch as soon as the blade clears the log. I got myself out of sync and shut off the auto clutch instead of the debarker. The saw makes an interesting noise when the blade stops before it clears wood.

I once thought I could put a log on the deck without the log stops up. The log had a swoop that was up and it rolled off the back of the mill. bent my trough and broke a few parts of the energy chain. also deformed my sprinkler pump house lid. This is starting to feel like a group therapy meeting, and I finally felt comfortable sharing. Hi, my name is Bryan!

We’re here to help and let you know you’re not alone, Bryan. Does anybody else want to share with the group?

Since you asked. I put a firewood chunk into the back window of my pickup

Hello Brian! does that warm or cool the inside of your cab?

Well I did not do this

I was expecting to see a Swift truck.

Ha Ha Ha!!! Truer words were never spoken!!!

firefighter ontheside · « **Reply #96 on:** March 23, 2019, 10:01:58 PM »

That’s probably pretty alarming to wake up to your truck getting hit.

rjwoelk · « **Reply #97 on:** March 23, 2019, 10:05:04 PM »

It was a good loud bang when his trailer tires hit his steering tire.

I had a dry box in a JD Irving parking lot one time that got whacked by a JD Irving driver. My trailer was sitting there waiting to get loaded with wood shavings - drop and hook - no truck attached. Irving tried to claim their driver was not at fault and my trailer was....I was like "whaaattt??"

Obviously, your trailer jumped in front of that truck.
