A day cutting wood

[Dave Shepard]

Looks to be in very nice condition. Good score. A friend of mine bought a Chase recently. Complete with extra "sprockets" for different length and thickness shingles, and it even had the bundling machine to go with it.

[Peter Drouin]

Dave, that's a good thing when you have all the parts.

Do you know what he gave for it? This one was 1,500.00 and it is in good shape.

[4x4American]

Nice, Peter!  Can you use the pto on your tractor to power it?  One less thing to maintain.

[Dave Shepard]

It was a package deal, but I would say about $5,000 or $5,500.

[WDH]

Pine Man will soon have the shingles. 

[Jim_Rogers]

Is it a shingle mill? I didn't see anywhere that he mentioned that. Or any writing on the framework that said shingle mill.

Maybe I missed it.

Jim Rogers

[Dave Shepard]

Yes, it's a shingle mill.

[Bruno of NH]

Pine mans going to need some cedar logs :)

Pine mans going to need some cedar logs

I'm working on some cedar from VT. But not for shingle making.
I get timber framers redoing old houses and the house has W Pine siding on them.
I want to sell them the siding too.
Has anyone heard of W Oak shingles?

[Bruno of NH]

Peter
When i built my house i got white cedar from southern VT .
In some old carpentry books i have they talk about white oak as shingles .
I think they would look good .
Have installed a lot of white cedar shingles over the years .

[Peter Drouin]

Yeah Bruno, I want to get the cedar to make 2bys with. For outside pergolas and trellises.

Peter,
I notice that you indicated that you put your flag up every morning.
This means you take it down at dusk.
Kudos to you.
We observe proper flag Etiquette both here and at our Florida house.
Too many folks just put their flag up and  forget it.

[4x4American]

I was under the impression that you could leave the flag up if you kept a light on it throughout the night, no?

Yes.

I jumped a guy abought one  time and his answer was a good one that Flag ain't been scared of any thing for 200 years what makes you think it's scared of the dark but mine still has a light on it at night

[hopm]

I have a problem with our coaches across the district who want to put up the flag at the start of the season and take it down at the end. I have quit badgering them.....I let them talk to the Marine who complains. They generally gain a new respect.

[4x4American]

Here is a good video about the flag and how the national anthem was written, definitely worth watching.

Thanks for that 4x4.

[Peter Drouin]

Going to look a power plant for the shingle mill in VT. 47horse with a hand clutch and pulley on it, Set on a skid. 8) 8)

[cutterboy]

Thanks 4x4

[4x4American]

For sure, for sure...


Pete did ya pick up that powerplant?

[Bandmill Bandit]

Well my day of cutting wood didn't go so well today! (Picture in the transfer process)

I have a broken push rod on the intake valve on the loader side cylinder of my CH745S Kohler.

I have  done all the checking I can at this point and have found no other damage. the broken piece (about 1.5") is laying on the bottom of the crank case. I need to grab a smaller diameter magnet to get it out.

Compression on both cylinders still well within spec.

Has any one had this issue with an EFI engine. I did have the same issue with a 25 HP carbed engine in the early 80s only both pieces of the push rod were still in the head.     

[Peter Drouin]

Sad to hear that Bandit, I wish you luck with that fix.


4x4 I'm going Tuesday morning to look at it. Then Friday I'm going to see Ross to get a 6' ex, Blades, parts, a bunch of stuff. Ann was sick this spring and we did not go to the open house. [To get the stuff, then]
Next week I think I'm going to meet Jeremy from WM, NY. To get a resaw. He's going to Maine to see a customer. Ross doesn't have one.
Will see how it goes. :D :D

[petefrom bearswamp]

Our flag here is lit, in Florida it is lit but my wife takes it in at night anyway.
She can spot a tattered flag from very far away.
Drives her nuts.

[Peter Drouin]

She can spot a tattered flag from very far away.
Drives her nuts.

Me too.


I got the siding on, just have to put in the window in.



  

 

Too much sun, Hot on the roof today. So I went for a ride on the bike my brother gave me.

Had a customer wanted to trade for lumber. I said OK  :D :D
