Whatcha Sawin' 2019 ???

[Bruno of NH]

I have had this log for a year
Yellow birch 8' long 39" on the butt
Made some nice 2" live edge
I'm glad I have the wide head mill.
Used a 4° Kasco from Jerry 
One picture of some 16" × 8' pine boards

@Bruno of NH , Looks like there's curl in the sapwood.  If it's 39" at the widest point, how did you mill it?  I thought the wide mills only had close to 36" between the guides?

[Bruno of NH]

Brad
The widest slab was 34" wide
The lt40 wide is only 34" between the guides
It was tight
The sap wood has like a flame look more than a curl.
I have never seen anything like it.
The xl 150 will cut 35"1/2 
A xl 250 would be nice but I would need a small wheel loader to move the logs.

got started on a pile of cedar nothing big but it made some boards and I got a break from mowing and mowing and mowing 8)

Finished a mobile job in Coeur d'Alene on Saturday, it was only 4.5 hours, but with the heat, I was okay with that. I have the day off work tomorrow to go to my wife's company party. Since it doesn't start until 11:00 am   I should have some time to cut a couple beams and some 2x12's for stair raisers for the apartment.

Got my new mill today...... :D

Extremely portable. Perfect mill for back country use.

[WV Sawmiller]

   Congratulations. Does it come in a wide model?

[doc henderson]

do not forget safety equipment, and a logrite cant hook!

[E-Tex]

NO!!!!
looks to handle 1.5 inch logs!

[caveman]

Do you typically saw without removing the fenders?  Nice mill.  

[doc henderson]

is that DBH or butt end or small end at 1.5, are you sawing poplar or maple? ;)

[Southside]

At least that model doesn't need the new EPA fuel tank.  :D

[terrifictimbersllc]

Diesel is exempt.  However it is a Tier 1.035 x 10 to the minus 3 engine which means that the fuel has to be passed through a column of palladium black in line with the injectors which is good for about 3 hours of run time and the replacement cartridge is $6795 from Woodmizer, three for $18000 with free shipping if you buy them in bulk. They are over $8000 on amazon prime or ebay. But the little boards sell like hotcakes and are not that hard to KD which triples their value.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[WV Sawmiller]

   Does WM include these blades in their Resharp program?

E-Tex,
My 9 year old daughter got one like that at the 2018 Pig Roast, and she got it up and running right away, without all the foofaraw you're seeing here. She's now the President and CEO of a Custom Live Edge Popsicle stick manufacturing firm (and I'm retiring from my lucrative Automotive job to be her Janitor and Social Coordinator...). Do you want me to IM her email address so she can show you how to run it?

absolutely yes.   I need all the help I can get!!!
"Custom Live-Edge Popsicle Sticks"....... could certainly be a new trend!

[DWyatt]

I can promise that the only reason that the fender is still on is because they haven't found a pry bar to remove it after they put the log loader down. Ask me how I know  : :D

[Jim_Rogers]

Red oak blocks 8x8x2' and some 6x6x2' as well.
Also some wedges again for the paving company.

Custom popsicle sticks could flitch fetch $300 I recon...buy more stock options in your janitorial role.

Since they made us leverage "open work space" we can no longer keep our favorite mills on our desks...#MissCubeLife

my cousin knew a guy with a little Austrian pine log.  cut into furriing strips and 2 x 4s.  lots of lube volume and concentrated.

Neighbor gifted me some wood. Nice black cherry that the local sawmill passed on..


 

 

[doc henderson]

straight grained wood is nice for some stuff, but that wood has some character.  welcome to the forum

Thanks for the welcome Doc. Very much character indeed.

[Southside]

Yup, just like this place, plenty of "character"  :D
